This Midori Green Honda EG Civic hatch was sent to us back in 2011. We never printed it. And I feel kinda bad about that now, because the car’s owner, Josh Queen, is a solid dude.

These are 11-year-old cell phone photos…

And I vaguely remember these exact photos being sent to me as samples. But I think at the time, we had just recently run a couple Midori Green Civic hatches back-to-back, and it just seemed a little too repetitive. Again… just going off a foggy memory here. But you gotta think – for a print magazine that only came out every few months & only had a certain number of slots… there was only so much we could do.

Plus in 2011…

Colorful Honda hatches were BOOMING across the board! It was all about k-swaps, or at least turbo B-series. Shaved bays & wire tucks. You could eat off these things! The Honda builds at that time had to be all JDM-spec’d out. JDM parts, JDM wheels, JDM freakin’ air fresheners lol… JDM everythang! That was the trend. And this particular hatch was more-or-less garage built with a EK frontend conversion, an ’01 Honda Accord F23 engine, and XXR wheels. A lot of the work on this car was done by Macs Speed Motorworks.

And now – in a flash – it’s been 11 years.

Times have changed. That mean-muggin’ infant in the passenger ‘Recaro’ is Josh’s son. He’ll be 11 next month lol.

And while Josh sold this car yeeeeears ago, he’s recently been itching (badly) for a new project car finally. The good ol’ days are calling him back. Josh recently moved back to his hometown & tracked down his old car. …Shouldn’t have done that lol. Here it is now. 🙁 At least we can say that we aged better then the car, right??
