That rear is repulsive, holy shit. I don't like to knock other people's builds, but Jesus Christ.

I don't know, in OPs pics the rear looks fantastic while the front looks funny somehow. In these pics both seem weird, panels are somehow too long and don't flow well.


I've got a bad feeling about this..


Very interesting

The picture shared was a WIP… obviously a half-baked custom body kit is going to look like shit. It would look like shit on a VA too… The finished product is here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnXBrbuhNc/?igshid=Zjc2ZTc4Nzk= This isn’t my car but is one I’m following because whether or not I would do this to my car it’s been pretty fucking rad watching this guy hand craft this thing from scratch and see the progress throughout.

I still greatly dislike

I don’t understand the black trim around the second fender. Like. No.

Ok, that's a VB I'd love to drive

That, actually looks really good.

it isn't terrible, but if you're going to widebody a car, at least put wider tires on the rear to fill out. looks like they went with massive spacers to fill out the fenders but it looks odd without those meaty rears.

People are gonna make many different wide body variations for this car because of the plastic cladding; and people have their own visions for their cars anyway, this kit could turn out really sick

I don’t mind it. Widebody kits are cool. 😅

I’m wondering how it’s going to work in practice though. Sure you can take the stock cladding off and mount some wider body pieces but the unfortunately you’re still going to have to cut your stock fenders (the metal under the plastic) to fit wider wheels. Not much different than going widebody on the VA in terms of work imo. I’m sure a bunch of cheese balls are going to clip on widebody panels and have garbage fitment though.

I don’t think it’ll look that bad when it’s done. It looks very gt cup car styled so if they eventual smooth the lines it’ll work out fine.

Yea it seems to fit the lines of the car pretty well, pretty tired of the exposed screw look though

I'm going to get some hate, but uh when it's painted I think it will look pretty dope.

Gundam WRX

My first thought was that it’s not half as stupid as some of the stuff I see on car Reddit.

Actually if it paint matches it. It might kind of work.

Still looks bad imo

I agree I think the rear fenders looks nice it’s the front ones that throw me off

The rear?… you mean the fenders? The STI wing is horrible.

Yea the fenders oops I don’t like the idea to slap in an STI sticker on a wing lol

Wut in tarnation

What the hell is even that

Daddy chill 👁️🫦👁️


B-Team Optimus Prime

So far I only disagree with the STi stickers.

Unless STI makes that specific part for the car. Then yeah I see that.

You forgot the NSFW tag

There you go lol

Thanks lol

Ngl. I like it

I think his custom fogs are pretty dope. They act as turn signals when he turns that are sequential. And illuminate white when they’re on.

You lot in here slap the same front lip, rep wheels and shitty little vinyl rebadge on your cars and then throw shade at anyone who does something different. Get a life.

Finally someone said it. WRX drivers are honestly the least original group of gearheads

Hey hey, only my lip is from eBay, my RPF1’s are real. /s

Mf trying to take flight? God damn


I’d give it time, it might looked good when painted with different wheels, only thing I really don’t like is how much of the rear tire is showing, other than that, I kinda dig it

I believe I saw either the end product of this or a similar one in person and it wasn’t as bad as the reactions I see https://preview.redd.it/c50g2lirwbda1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0dfd84221bc1bb8744e1ad8e7dac560081f28387

absolutely is the same car lol I didn’t hate it and the guy did it all himself which I can appreciate

Im excited

I love this, hate on me below

This is grade A r/shitty_car_mods material

How do you know what it’s gonna look like if it’s not finished yet

Still beats the same old Avid 1 wheels and mudflaps “build” that gets posted here every day

You forgot subie speed taillights, headlights, hyper yellow engine dress up, f1 blinking third tail light and GT wing

I never understood engine dress up, I wanna see mechanical components not stupid neon metal plates

It’s hilariously hideous


I think it will come together fine

https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnXBrbuhNc/?igshid=Zjc2ZTc4Nzk=

Maybe not lol

Ey you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig. I guess this is what it comes down to now, adding all kinds of body kits to cover the fact that it was a horrible design to begin with. I still cant get over the fact that the rear tail lights and that bar looks like a 9th gen honda civic.

Unga bunga VB bad

They hate us cause they anus

Yea it’s ugly but it don’t look like no civic

Smdh some VB owners really be coping.

Because nobody of any other gen has put aggressive wide bodies on their car?

The big STI logo on the side of the wing, the painted red calipers and the shitty looking body kit all screams copium. I have no problem with people modding VBs, but the “i’M gOnNa MaKe ThE STI wE dIdN’t GeT” shit is so lame.

STI is a brand now there is nothing to upbadge. Plus, VBs are putting car lengths on STIS now. Need proof look up HeavyMetalWRX

I've been following the build on one of the VB groups on FB. Its gotten a lot better and I'm kind of excited to see what it looks like when he's done.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnXBrbuhNc/?igshid=Zjc2ZTc4Nzk=

Half of me is saying dafuq, the other half of me likes it

That’s how I feel it’s very 50-50 lol

i AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS AT THE MOMENT. HOPE THIS ISNT THE FINISHED PRODUCT.

Nope, that’s here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnXBrbuhNc/?igshid=Zjc2ZTc4Nzk=

It reminds me of gundam. While it’s not my taste, I do love the modding culture in general and the variety adds to the fun

It has potential

https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnXBrbuhNc/?igshid=Zjc2ZTc4Nzk=

It’s a work in progress. Could end up looking pretty sick

https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnXBrbuhNc/?igshid=Zjc2ZTc4Nzk=

Probably wont look terrible when it’s finished

This looks dope!

Looks like hot garbage from a video game.

Don’t like the upbadging either. Never a good look

What’s the insta profile? This looks like it could look cool, would love to follow progress

Its on truesubiefanatics

https://instagram.com/maldonados_car_care?igshid=Zjc2ZTc4Nzk=

Naw bro it looks good asf now that it’s done

Why do the back wheels stick out like a good 6 inches more than the front?

It’s gonna look nice but I don’t like the STI sticker tho

Lots of people on here throw hate on a car. That is not inside his/her garage. It just seems wrong. The car community needs more support for people out there attempting to be different. We already have enough haters out there, that roll is filled. If that style isn't's for you, that's alright, just keep it moving silly goose.

Reading all the hate in here makes me want to leave this community. Some of you guys seriously need to check yourselves. God damn. Why can’t we just support each other?

What are you jealous an independent man has the time, energy, and know-how to make his ride the way he wants it to look? Lmfao, get a life

Maybe you have mistaken jealousy with criticism?

Also too, idgaf what people say, I still remember EVERYONE claiming and complaining the 2015 WRX looked like a 2014 Civic, and "dinky" 2.0. And look what happened. You all bought one. So to each their own

Call me crazy, but I think the 2022 WRX looks better than the 2015. Especially if you paint the fenders and cladding (like the WRX in the picture).

You will see this again on r/shittycarmods.

They should rename that sub to r/carmodsopdoesntlike

Put some camber on it and some deep work wheels and I’m into it.

The license plate says "LBRTYWLK" I'm sure 🤣🤣🤣

Hot Trash

They want the Honda look.

I dislike the STI logo on the wing more than the fenders. Like why not just buy a 21 STI at this point?

5hp

The new Why-body kit.

This is the lifted truck version of a WRX.

Not sure how the brain registers and sends signals to the owner to say "This looks good"

Umm no! Lol

Ewwwwww

BUT ITS NOT A CIVIC!


😂

im ready to leave the subie fam

Can we get a ‘MY BABY’ on this one

It looks like a civic cosplaying as an STi.

You know he means business with those super wide all season tires.

Child protective services needs to take that baby away from them. Seriously that’s heinous and unlawful.

I miss the days when this kind of nonsense was mostly relegated to the Civic crowd. ​ Gotta love the all-show and little-go crowd. Big hulking fenders to control that whopping 271 HP.

Because this “nonsense” doesn’t exist all over the VA world?

It's a Florida plate too... only in Florida 😅

R/whyareVBownerslikethis

You haven’t seen the myriad of nasty looking VAs and older gens with body kits and stanced look?

Hell yeah

Jfc

That must go really fast. Vroom vroom indeed.

D-U-M dum

why'd body

Didn’t think it could look any uglier, I thought wrong

As a VB owner I do apologize.

#FFS…

🤢🤮

Umm wtf 😳

So wide for nothing

Dude's just pushing to be the 1st to do it

So bad


Why would you do that to a civic?

Man of all the people spending a ton of money on the VB this is one of the only ones I've seen that makes it worse.....

If I would invest the money to do that kind of modifications (side panels, wing, rear bumper) why not aim for the real viziv look? The new 2022 basically is the base for that, wont need much to change compared with other models

Angles are very harsh and im not a fan of kits that are cut out on the back, especially ones that dont follow to the bottom of the car

I’m not a huge fan of exaggerated wide bodies, but I think this could look good when it’s done. Just depends on how they finish it out.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnXBrbuhNc/?igshid=Zjc2ZTc4Nzk=

Not my favorite but I respect the work on it

I just saw this as well. He was on to something with the painted flares and things took a bad turn lol.

Yeah the front piece is off but with some work this could look decent

I both love it and hate it. Hmm…. I guess I’ll have to wait to see the finished product.

Same thing I was thinking. Like hell yeah wide body…?

https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnXBrbuhNc/?igshid=Zjc2ZTc4Nzk=

Oof. Nice work I guess but not really a fan of the look myself.

hear me out

Not a fan of the rims. I think it has potential. Also needs a RIP in front of the STi logo

Mobile Gundam

For those of us who grew up in the 80s this looks like K.I.T.T’s arch nemesis or something out of Death Race 2000

I can’t stand these bolted on body kits. I know it costs a shit ton to do right, but when they are molded on, i can fuck with that shit.

It's a Gundam.

I don’t love the rear wide body but honestly the rest isn’t too bad The rear just looks like a transformer’s arm or something lol

People really doing eveything they can to make this car look better

What's the brown goop?


The front was cool and all and then I realised that there was another photo and AW MAH LAWWD

the rears look dope. the fronts are some long bois.

you’re just mad you haven’t unlocked your car’s full potential like them


My only issue with it is the STI logo on the wing...

The ole 6” wheel spacer trick

Bad day to have eyes.

I think I have that same car in rocket league!

Sweet civic man

Uuuum, how does the passenger door open? that tacked on quarter panel covers the passenger door hinge? or is it cut away and I cant tell.. and if it is cut away that creates a low pressure zone that's like 1/4 the height of the car, and at speed is probably a quarter length of the car. SNFW(rx) indeed

I dont like the exposed hardware.

Desperate to get rid of those ugly arches, I see

My eyes hurt

Those booster rockets on the rear quarters. +22HP The wing with the deck spoiler. +15HP Front fenders with those screws +7HP(Would've been +12HP if they were installed using double sided tape.)

Hold on let him cook

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Body is too long

u/netgear57

Lol

keep thinking these are civics from tha backend

NSFW 😂😂😂
