If you find your self out in the streets, and you start feeling and hearing some earth shaking, chest thumping bass, I know you’d start looking for the source. And you’d actually be surprised to find it coming from this discreet looking Honda CRV. It’s so clean, stock looking, looks like a practical daily driver, it doesn’t even have tinted windows, and no subwoofer wall!

But then you’d start to wonder why the amount of bass that this thing is capable of producing rivals those who have extreme installs with subwoofer walls? Is there an imaginary wall somewhere? The secret here is…

An Incriminator Audio Warden Subwoofer. What!? All that bass out of just one single subwoofer? It might not look like much, but this particular subwoofer was actually made to move air. It wasn’t built to look good, but to perform. It was built for extreme SPL! Underneath that cone, hidden inside the ported subwoofer enclosure, are neodymium magnets which make this subwoofer move. READ: Strongest type of Permanent Magnet on Earth! To give you an idea of how powerful this subwoofer is, this Incriminator Warden Subwoofer has six 130 Oz neodymium magnets, for a total of 48.75 lbs. Compare that with the electric motor in a Toyota Prius which has only 2.2 lbs of neodymium! WOW!

Also seen is where the power comes from – a pair of Incriminator Audio IA 20.1 Mono Block amplifiers. Non-enthusiasts may not know it, but I’m telling you, you’re looking at a hardcore system right here! With Rockford Fostage connections, you’re ensured that these thristy amplifiers have enough juice whenever the volume is cranked.

But if you think this system is all bass and no sound quality, well you haven’t seen the speakers up front yet.

Moral of the Story: Never underestimate.

If you did a double take thinking that you’ve just seen Bumblebee holding The Cube, that’s because your eyes were really not fooling you!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you… Bumblebee’s Filipino cousin.

This ride was featured in the 2009 Marikina CarFest at SM Marikina last August 29-30. Looking at him from this view makes you feel as if he was caught in suspended animation – mid transformation. I refer to the car as “him” because it looks as if the car has established its own persona, as if it was alive and moving.

Notice how the hood splits open autobot style… the front doors open Lamborghini style… and the rear doors open… well… in style!

Looking at it from the opposite direction, you’ll also see how the trunk opens, keeping up with the transformation happening to the rest of the vehicle.

The trunk reveals the creature’s head, with a custom subwoofer enclosure on either side giving onlookers a musical treat to compliment the visual astonishment you’d feel looking at this for the first time.

The front bumper splits open to expose the Autobot’s arms and hands. The attention to detail is really astounding.

Let’s not forget that this is a car, and not just an ordinary car, but a show car. And every show car has to have an engine to display. This car’s engine has been detailed, and the colors that were chosen were meant to match the rest of the vehicle.

And as with every proper car, you have to have a functional interior, which this Autobot surely has.

So do you think this car is a stunner or what?

Yup! This car started started life as an ordinary Honda Accord. But that was until this came to mind:

That’s right. The Mercedez-Benz SLR Mclaren. The nose, the front bumper, and the headlights have all been replicated to look as close as possible as the original. And if you ask me, they’ve done a very good job in achieving that! The hood vents on the Accord have most likely been inspired by the vents at the sides of the SLR.

Even the shape of the rear got its inspiration from the SLR. From this angle, you should also be able to notice the gold paint with Mercedez-Benz emblems, as well as the extended fenders. Taking a look at the SLR…

You’ll see where the inspiration came from. Check out the diffuser, the shape of the rear fenders, and the spoiler’s high angle of attack (when the SLR is at high speed).

The interior was kept neat and clean in line with the luxurious feel of the Mercedez… Which looks like this…

Which is neat, functional, and every bit as luxurious as it is fast. But if there’s something we shouldn’t forget about the WarpZone Accord, is that it was made to be a show car. Notice the blingin’ wheels with spinners? Let’s take a look at the interior from behind the driver’s seat…

How many monitors do you see? Hahaha! Post your answers on the comments below.

Alright, let’s check out this ultra cool low riding Toyota Hilux. It is absolutely stunning! If the two-tone paint with custom pinstriping doesn’t catch your attention, check out the blingin’ wheels! You’d have to wonder how they’ve managed to fit such big wheels and still have it sitting so low.

Taking a look at the front end, you’ll see billet grilles to compliment the chrome wheels.

A peek at the engine bay, and you’ll see that it’s just as clean as the outside! So much attention to detail has been given to this vehicle that it’s cleaner than anything you could get straight from the dealer! Also, the fenderwells have been modified. No wonder they’ve managed to fit big wheels in!

Also notice that the doorhandles have been shaved, as well as the tail lights, which have been replaced with custom units found flush where the rear bumper used to sit. This gives the outside a super clean look which doesn’t distort the lines of the custom pinstriping. But aside from looks, this Hilux was actually built to be a mobile party machine! We all know that pickups were made to carry load on the truck bed. Well then let’s check out the load this baby is carrying…

The rear truck bed packs a set of 4 RE Audio Subwoofers. Even from afar, when the bass hits, you can feel it as much as you can hear it. Just to give you an idea how loud this can be, I was at the second level of the parking lot when I first heard this, and car alarms were blaring all around me! That’s how powerful this system is. But that’s not all to it…

A set of mids and tweets pop up from the sides, completing the outside audio band. But wait! There’s more…

A pair of big screen LCD monitors pop up too, giving the crowd not just a sound spectacle, but a visual treat as well! Which just adds to making this ride look as good as it sounds. It might be worth to note that the system on the truck bed is powered separately from that of the cabin system for outside partyin’ and demo purposes. But what about the interior?

A look at the truck’s cabin area shows a lot of the interior components which have been color-matched with the outside red paint. Also notice the custom tweeter pods on the a-frames, as well as the LCD monitor. But remember, this Hilux has 4 doors! So let’s check out what’s going on behind the driver’s seat…

Well here you can see that the rear passenger area is just as pretty as the front. Notice the custom seat covers? This last name of this ride’s blessed owner is Vialu, hence the letter “V” stitched on the seats as well as other parts of the interior. It also reveals more RE Audio speakers, and a sneak peek at the source of all the power – US Amps Xterminator Series amplifiers!

So what do you think the creators of this ride have done to create a winner? You tell me! But from what I’ve seen in the car show, this ride not only got the most heads turning, but got the crowd’s bodies jumpin’ too!

The owner of this Suzuki Celerio has taken the definition of “Cute Car” to the next level. It’s been pimped out… Hello Kitty style!

From the decals and graphics with matching white wheels…

To the airbrushed mural under the hood…

And even down to the interior (see the rear passenger window visor on this picture and the headrest on the first picture), this car screams (in a cute way) Hello Kitty everywhere!
