The owner of this car wants everyone to know they can flit like a butterfly and are as harmless towards others as a neutered baby harp seal. Of course it is a Honda. Only a Prius could top a Civic, a Smart or a Fiat 500 as a vehicle worthy of infantizing in this manner. Gut wrenching and pathetic!
I don’t think it’s finished yet, so I won’t judge it.
I’ve watched a car in my neighborhood get a similar treatment. It took a year to finish, and in the first few months it didn’t look very good. Now the entire body is covered in small river washed stones, and it’s a rather conservative looking Art Car. It must be an effort to open the hood.
A few years back someone had an art car (Miata, maybe.) the main theme was textile bits, with some other odds & ends thrown in. Vanity plate was “That Car.”
What they, or more accurately, what she was thinking, was: “I’m a beautiful free-spirited butterfly child of the universe Womyngoddess! And all Earthlings must be reminded of my superior spirituality every time I drive to the yoga center for some free-range Tofutti and a cruelty-free bikini-waxing!”
“I’ll never mistake my charcoal Civic for someone else’s again!”

My guess is that the stupid hipster will be crying when he/she realizes that the car has very little resale value.
Those have very little resale value anyway its an improvement on the bland little heap it was.
Easy there guys!
Dyno blue pearl Civic drivin’ here. 🙂
For some people it would be an improvement.

The entire body covered in stones must take away a large portion of the cars load rating, and it never needs waxing again.
Might improve the ride, up to a point. My Civic rides a little choppy with just me aboard.
Here it goes:
Damn, I kinda like that.
That and the subject car not bad, as art cars go.

Park under a tree full of psychedelic birds?
Somebody must be pumping Owsley Stanley-grade LSD in to this Civic’s gas tank!
This is when I wished I still had my Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
Ramming speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+1
In another lifetime I coulda donated a bark-beaten GrandVille or two!
Of course, we cold then donate the 455-4V & THM400s to Junqueboi. 🙂
“Sweet merciful crap! My car!”
I wonder how toxic the air inside that thing must be as that spray-painted interior bakes in the afternoon sun.
Saw this at St Martin while on a Caribbean cruise.
It will probably look like this when it’s done:
I’m thinking that, perhaps they were not thinking clearly.
Art car in progress?

Nicely done! (Car’s not half bad, either.)
Agreed, that one is nicely done. I think the dividing line on “art cars” is when does the “car” start to disappear under the “art”.
I think the real question is “what were they smoking?”
I’ve seen this thing around here several times, some woman was driving it
