This ’90s Honda Civic Wants To Pass As A Porsche Hatch

Ever wondered how a Porsche hot hatch would look like if it came out in the late ’90s? The owner of this Honda Civic from Thailand came pretty close to that vision, adding a custom wide bodykit and new lighting units on both ends of the Japanese hatchback.

The project started as a humble fifth-gen Honda Civic EG. While an Audi of the same era would probably make more sense for a Porsche conversion, the handsome proportions of the three-door Civic proved to be a good starting point.

The front end of the car is virtually unrecognizable, as no body panel has been left untouched. The aftermarket oval-shaped headlights mounted on the curved front fenders and the new bonnet make the Civic look like a 993 clone. While the bumper-mounted lighting units of the Porsche are missing, the shape of the oversized faux bumper intakes is trying hard to look like it was designed in Stuttgart.

The profile reveals the true identity of the model as the greenhouse and doors remain in stock condition, combined with wider fenders and oversized five-spoke alloy wheels. At the back, the owner came up with a clean design featuring a license plate holder delete and a set of round LED taillights. Maybe a pair of Cayenne taillights would be a better match but we guess they would be too large for the compact hatchback.

The “Civiche EG911” as it is called on an Instagram post by @mozy_3dcustom is currently listed for sale in Thailand at an undisclosed price. If you are following car news for a while you probably know that auto shops in Thailand have serious expertise in bespoke bodykits and cool-looking replicas, which probably explains the origins of this hatchback. How much would you pay for this unique build?
