HPD Supercharged Honda CR-Z
If there was one thing tuning enthusiasts could improve for the Honda CR-Z it would definitely be the power output. Ever since the sporty hatchback was released, we have seen styling and aerodynamic parts galore, but a lack of performance options have us scratching our head.

Mugen Honda N-ONE Body Kits
1Mugen has already announced an upcoming body kit for the Honda N-ONE that just hit the market.

They are designing two different kits made up of new bumpers with LED lights, front grilles, side skirts and rear enhancements. Additional modifications include new alloy wheels, suspension tweaks and customization’s to the interior such as new colored door panels, press start button, racing pedals and new floor mats.

If only they could make the Honda S2000 AWD, then it might have been able to take the Toyota Supra off the line.
