Fiercely slammed N-BOX born of obsession…

The Honda N-BOX, a completely original custom, was shown off by “kazukun8181”. The original majola color and real flame skull paint were eye-catching. Let’s take a look at the powerful bad face of this custom.

Both the interior and exterior were fully remodeled with one-off parts

While coordinating bolt-on parts that fit your car with your favorite combination is also customization, there are owners in this world who enjoy customization by the method of imagining the style they envision and making it real. Such custom freaks are undeniably powerful people and are widely known as advanced customizers.

The owner of the Honda “N-BOX”, “kazukun8181”, whom we will introduce hereafter, is, of course, the latter in this sense. The theme of his work is “persistence. He fully remodeled the interior and exterior with one-off parts, aiming to create a custom car that exists only once in this world.

The first thing that catches the eye when looking at this N-BOX is the bewitching body color. The paint color that changes richly depending on the refraction of light is expressed by Majora, which is well-known to those who love dress-up cars. The color of “kazukun8181’s” majola is a mysterious gradation of dark green and purple, and he asked a paint store to make special adjustments to make it completely original.

Another important point is that the hood, pillars, and fuel lid were painted with real flame skull paint by airbrush. Together with the Majora color, it enhances the bewitching mood of the car.

The powerful form and bad face are eye-catching

The overall form was modified to pursue the ultimate N-BOX slammed style, including the arms in addition to the IDEAL air suspension. The fenders are fitted with original blisters that emphasize the press lines and add design ribs as an arrangement. Both the front and rear bumpers have powerful fenders, and the bold shapes are used to bring out a more powerful form.

The front face was designed by the owner to express sharpness and bravery, and the grille was set to create a bad face around the bumper. The edgy, sporty ducts are emphasized by painting some parts matte silver. The headlights and taillights are based on the factory model, but the headlights are sharply expressed with triple projectors and sequential blinkers. The indicator lights are fully LED, and a combination of lamps of various sizes and shapes expresses originality. Both the headlights and blinkers feature silicone tube position lamps.

The interior dares not to feel wrapped

As for the custom interior, the car was converted to a two-seater in order to accommodate a custom audio system. A special board was made, on which an air suspension tank, a huge monitor, a Rockford audio system, and decorative LEDs were set. For speakers, a special inner panel was also fabricated in the rear luggage compartment to mount a total of four giant speakers on each side.

The interior color is white, the exact opposite of the body color. The roof is arranged with a single gray Alcantara + python pattern fabric in the center. In addition, the meter panel, center panel, and door panels are treated with monotone wrap paint. It should be noted that the pattern was deliberately designed to avoid giving the impression of a wrap as much as possible.

The N-BOX of “kazukun8181” is a thoroughly finished product. He has some unfinished work and would like to rearrange the audio system and layout in the future. How it will look like is a secret. We will have another opportunity to introduce it to you.
