Thats a complete show that goes to shows around the US a lot. it has some nice items on it like the paint and scheme is right with the nice blk wheels and big brakes, trunk is all show and hot but the interior is terrible. I mean he has a tan dash with blk seats...LOL i couldn't believe when I saw it. looks like the car had tan interior and he added blk oem seats. Red film on the headlights looks terrible too. But he gets the show points to win so more power to him. I think this car was for sale on ebay a while ago no?

Yeah, he has some nice interior. THe Door panels inside were Carbon Fiber which looked pretty sick. Its had its DO and DONT's but for a SHOW car, it had what it takes. He racks up the points i tell you that. Pretty nice non the less for a Trailer Car.

Definitely a show car, lots of eye candy. The red theme has been carried out with good thought. But as Blulex put it, what's up with that interior choice? It just doesn't seem to flow with the car after seeing the exterior pics. Makes me think the car isn't finished yet.

this car was featured in HCI magazine sometime in 05

I guess a good mod for him would be to get a oem black dash board

I like the wheels, 4 corner bbk, and the front bumper looks good blacked out in the middle, but the headlights look horrible and as others have mention the interior seems to have no flow. Im sure it wins shows but still needs a lot of work to make it look good

This has got to be one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. I am not a hater, I just think the owner has good intentions, but simply bad taste.

Other than the brakes and wheels, the rest is just plain nasty.

Now when will the guys who know how to mod cars like bluelex, DaveGS4, Rominl, D2Autosport etc become judges at such shows so that cars like this don't win such shows?????

The red paint looks hot on a 2GS. Red headlights are not.

Just because it's a show car doesn't make it a Honda. Most people on this board don't understand what show cars are. Show cars need to be wild to attract attention and to show case aftermarket parts.

I would never mod my car like this GS for personal use, but if I attended shows, I would make my car extremely wild.

Would you guys consider Alpine's vehicles extreme "Hondas"?

I agree with you on this. Would sponsors agree? Probably not. Most aftermarket sponsors want their cars to be crazy and wild to attract young adults.
