I'm not surprised one bit...a guy posted this Honda in Vietnam. I didn't know ricing Hondas was an international thing....

I'm with Iron Cobra. I don't get it either. Disguising a Civic as a BMW M-car simply makes no sense.

People who do this kind of stuff to their cars, IMO, have too much spare time on their hands.....after all, they could be contributing to CAR CHAT.

(Well, in a way, I guess they ARE contributing)

Ironic that I have always said the civic resembles an e46, and vice versa. I see the comparison here.......

That's still not as bad as when I see a Japanese Kanji (sp?) symbol on a Cavalier or Focus.

There's a late 90s Ford Mustang around my area with a GTR emblem that belongs on a Skyline. WTF...

It is the new thing. Only thing I dont understand, the only people that see and recognize what these emblems mean know they dont belong on these cars. Who do they think they are fooling?

there is a loser in my town with ferrari emblems on a mitsu 3000gt. i have nothing against a 3000gt, but it is certainly not confused with a ferrari.
