Spotted this on Stanceworks, no idea if its been posted before, but OH MY WORD! Here is how it started out: Then added these parts: rebuilt the suspension, camber arms, ... (diy) 9x14 and 10x14 Schmidt TH Line with 225 in front and 255 rear rusty fenders and reargate bosozoku light exhaust wire tuck light roof racks nardi steering wheel diy shifter diy frontlip oil cooler mirror elimination one old chrome mirror on the left fender a lot of stickers and some other stuff and got THIS! I think it's fantastic! The interior could do with something race themed to top it all off, but it looks perfect! What do you guys think?

I liked the first picture.
I don't see anything there I couldn't talk my 9 year old sister through. And she knows not to paint over the edges either (see yellow inner wing).
I'm trying to rescue this post from the negativity police, so i like...hmmm... i like... umm... oh! the roofrack. Well, the rear one. The front one is bent.

I think it would have looked even better with the paintwork left nice. And the roof bars left off. Do like how the star theme is carried through.

Too much of a 'good' thing = a bad thing IMO. I think there's too many different things there for it to end up complete / appear thought out overall

I like it. Its taking something that was unremarkable and creating something that will form an impression on people. Nothing new, but certainly nothing offensive. I like the inner wing with stars on it too

it would get my approval more if they had just done the wheels, stance, and front lip spoiler then left it.

The rear seats are a stroke of genius.

It's 'trying a bit too hard'. It's a bit "oh, nice, yes, bit more, wow, great, I love it...oh, too far" Lose the rack and repaint the wings, fit hood, much better IMO.

That looks like fun.. It isn't often you see a subway ring flat on the floor .. 10/10 for effort :

haha i like that.... even the rust which is wierd for me... only thing id do different is, loose the splitter off the front, its low enough to look nuts without it... and get rid of the subway ring... doesnt suit it at all...
although personally i would have done anything but lower it over those rims as its a fantastic shape car anyway... needs hardly anything to look absolutely great...

That thing looks epic. some rookie errors but nothing an afternoon couldnt sort out.
If that is in austria i bet it doesnt get driven. The police would rape you for that. Litterally.

its so insane it works, just. I love it personally, but agree it would look better without the rust. I remember that Rusty (the bmw from stanceworks) had a very similar reaction to this when it was first doing the rounds, but now a lot of people see it as an internet legend

Litterally. that car is not from Austria, the Austrian TÜV equivalent is the most stupid organiation worldwide .... lowering more than 30mms ? No way.... looking at the plates, i'd say Luxembourg, or Lux-registered to drive it legal in Austria ? Edit : the Omega has Austrian plates, even extremely expensive private plates; so location is Austria ...

If this thing made every kitten explode into bird-flu riddled feathers, while every nun burst into flames while swearing at your gran I'd still be a fan.
It provides my boat with buoyancy, in a big way. The Civic EF Sedan was a beige shape on my radar before this. Now though, if I see one I'll smile at it just because I know what it could be.
