With “simple and effective” being a key note lately here on illmotion, I’d like to draw your attention to Chris Chan’s 2007 Honda Civic Si. When I first saw Chris’s Si via Corey’s coverage of Beyond.ca’s 2010 Summer Cruise, the dope stance and the entire vehicle being wrapped in Flat Black Vinyl immediately caught my eye.

Upon meeting Chris, I had asked him where he got the work done and his reply was something I didn’t expect, which made me appreciate the car even more: “My girlfriend (Samantha) and I worked on it ourselves”.

In this day and age where more and more people look to shops to perform tinting and vinyl work, it’s “Do-It-Yourself-ers” like Chris who you gotta give mad props and appreciation for. I mean, just think of the time, patience, and effort Chris and Samantha put in to complete this vinyl wrapping project!

In addition to (and amazed at) what Chris and Samantha accomplished here, his decision to go with an aggressive wheel and suspension set up definitely compliment this Civic’s overall form, and this is only the beginning for Chris’s Si…
