- Damd launched two new kits for the Honda N-Box called Angie and Rodney.
- The Angie adopts crossover cues, while the Rodney focuses on upmarket looks.
If you thought the Honda N-Box Joy campervan was the most stylish kei van out there, hold your horses, as Japanese tuner Damd has a few new tricks up its sleeve. Meet Angie and Rodney, two custom kits designed to give the tiny Honda a bit of personality and flair, letting customers transform the compact N-Box into something that’s uniquely their own.
The Angie kit offers crossover-inspired upgrades that fit both the regular Honda N-Box and the N-Box Joy. The standout feature here is the redesigned front end, which gives off some serious Range Rover vibes. We’re talking a larger grille with four position lights, fresh bumper intakes, and—just in case you’re feeling adventurous—a skid plate for some added toughness.

The profile can be fitted with decals featuring a checkered pattern, and if you want a more complete pseudo-offroad feel for their kei car you can combine the kit with parts like 15-inch Nitro Power M6 Carbine alloy wheels, a suspension lift kit from Tanabe, and even a roof rack.
Moving on to the Rodney, it is exclusively available for the more premium-looking Honda N-Box Custom. This explains the different LED graphics on the headlights, the full-width LED bar, and the black alloy wheels, already fitted in the stock N-Box Custom.

The Rodney uses a similar front bumper design to the Angie, although the resulting build looks more tailored for road use. The new parts are made of ABS plastic and can be finished in any color.
Extra features of the Rodney include the side garnish and the sharper side skirts, nicely combined with the sporty bits of the N-Box Custom. Finally, the copper accents contribute to upmarket looks, with the resulting kei car being reminiscent of a baby (and boxy) Range Rover Evoque.

Damd doesn’t offer any performance upgrades for the tiny 658cc engine which is good for 58 hp (43 kW / 58 PS) and 63 hp (47 kW / 64 PS) depending on the trim. Power is transmitted to the front or all four wheels via a CVT gearbox.
The N-Box Angie and Rodney, originally announced at the 2025 Tokyo Auto Salon, are now available to order in Japan, either as kits or as complete builds.
According to Damd’s official website, the Angie costs ¥258,500 ($1,700), while the Rodney is priced at ¥215,600 ($1,400). These prices don’t include optional parts such as the wheels, suspension, and roof rack of the pictured Angie.
