The powerhouse that won first place in the users’ poll
The Honda STEPWGN, with its flashy black and red body, won first place in the users’ vote in the dress-up contest of the Super Carnival Real held in 2023. Let’s take a look at the full picture of this masterpiece, which was completely original without relying on a shop.
Any number of failures to evolve!
In the September 2022 issue of WAGONIST magazine, Mr. “Pe~♪” showed off his Kurobeni Style in the special feature “Amazing Guy”. This time, at the “Super Carnival Real 2023 in Gifu powered by AUTO MESSE”, where he participated for the first time, he won first place as voted by users, so let us introduce him to you again.
He has been a DIY enthusiast, so there is no reason why he hasn’t done anything to the car about a year after it was first published, and the headlights have been modified to Aladdin specifications, with the later version transplanted from the earlier version. In addition, net stickers and LED ring processing are applied to the headlight units. The projectors were also painted to match the Aladdin character, Jafar!
The front bumper was also smoothed by filling in the number of holes. The area was covered with lace curtains and clear sprayed over the top. The wings have also been changed considerably around the front alone, with dummy ducts newly purchased and stuck on top, and then integrated and sublimated into real ducts. The Cheshire cat on the bonnet is a gem painted with special paint that comes to life when illuminated by a black light.
Turning to the rear area, the wing was based on the stock one, but was completed on the third try to create a large wing with a strong presence, almost a full remake. The rear bumper is a TRD Alphard bumper and a Mugen bumper. However, the TRD was so large that it was split into five sections.
They play with only originality down to the smallest detail
And it didn’t stop there, the wheels themselves were also changed to the same type of step rims. The spokes were also changed from stickers to paint, and the support spokes were embossed for originality.
The interior is also coordinated in red and black, the same colors as the body, and the finish is so beautiful it is hard to believe it was a DIY project, but the quilt was cut and pasted over the steering wheel and instrument panel. The seat covers are fitted with Crazio.
The tail lights are made by Colin, but as they are not available in red and black, different combinations were purchased and modified. In addition, a motorbike headlight and embossing have been applied, and the rear styling has also been thoroughly touched up.
The owner, Mr. “Pe~♪”, says: “I always cosplay at events!” and made the following comments about his car.
“It’s a completely original vehicle that has never been in the shop for any customization.”
