We put all of our custom know-how into the production

Based on a 2008 Suzuki 4th generation MH23S Wagon R, “Naokichi” created this car after much thought about how to customize a petite mini car to stand out from a sedan or minivan. Taking advantage of the owner’s long history of customization, a bold approach was taken to create a machine that makes a strong statement, both inside and out.

The interior and exterior are seamless

“Naokichi”‘s previous cars include the Honda Inspire, Toyota Crown Majesta, Honda Step Wagon, and Toyota Vanguard, and he has had a high-level customization career.

The Suzuki “Wagon R” introduced here was purchased 8 years ago as the culmination of his past customization enjoyment. The basic principle of customization is to keep the base cost low and spend as much as possible on dress-up costs. Therefore, the reasonably priced Wagon R was just the right base vehicle.

The stock Wagon R looks too plain from the perspective of a custom car enthusiast, but that is why it is so worthwhile to customize it. Naokichi took an unprecedentedly bold approach to the interior and exterior to make this dull Wagon R stand out and make a strong statement.

The line that runs from the front to the side was originally conceived

The entire body was modified including external parts. The front bumper is a combination of a K-BREAK bumper and a U-STYLE bumper, and the side steps and rear bumper are based on the K-BREAK bumper and were modified in an original arrangement. The hood was made as one piece with the front grille, and the inner part of the headlights and lenses were completely replaced to give the front face a sharp look that is not typical of the Wagon R.

A front-mounted intercooler is set inside the front bumper, but it is a complete dummy. The engine is kept in stock condition.

The blister fenders, which create a sturdy form, are double-pressed for added appeal. The line that flows from the front to the side is emphasized by the original style that “Naokichi” devised. The width of these fenders is 70mm at the front and 90mm at the rear.
