Remember the “Small World” moment I had last week? It happened again and it’s so freaky, the blue EF on hydros I posted yesterday turns out to be an 11 year old pic of Dennis’ old car who just happens to be a very generous supporter of the Melissa Project. Dennis won the raffle last month sponsored by EZ Baked Customz and I’ve had his xB on here twice in the past, here and here. I had no idea he ever even owned a Civic! Seriously what are the odds? He posted up some more pix of the EF on Club xB and says the car was featured in the April 2006 issue of Lowrider Magazine. Besides being one wild coincidence it really shows Dennis’ life long commitment to personalizing his rides and doing it in a very high quality manner with extreme attention to detail.

Here’s how Dennis rolls today

and to add to the Christmas Miracle, Hatch Life just cracked 500,000 hits, who woulda thunk it?

Taking you way back

So what does the owner of the elusive company, that goes by many names, all of which make Silvia owners drool use as his personal car? One bad ass EF that’s what. Shot of course at the familiar gas station where the infamous S13 was inroduced to internet fame and mythology.

Has the import community settled on an “official” name for this look yet? To me it is very VW/euro inspired, it’s not quite “hood ride”, it sure ain’t JDM hard parking. Sometimes cars like this even almost have a slight hint of old school so cal beach cruiser flavor to them. The stance and stretch, roof rack, beat hood, lots of stickers look, we need a real name for it. Personally I like it and appreciate it just as much as the super clean look. What ever we’re going to call it, this EF nails it. I can’t quite tell if it’s on SSR reverse mesh or Axis OG Sans. Probably OGs, whatever I’m not snob about it like a lot of people, I just dig the car.

Spotted this EF on I Put in Work and had to find more pix, so understated yet it makes a big impression, tricky combo to pull off.

Fantastic work fellas! Major props, huge respect! Let’s see some more of these around the country.

I’ve had this first one on here a couple of times, easily in my top five hatches of all time

I knew you wanted more

You’re about to fall in love with box flares on an EF all over again. First a little music to set the mood.

nope, you’re not crazy, it’s center steer

It is such an honor to see Melissa’s stickers on the Westhill race cars, this just doesn’t even seem real anymore!

I didn’t even know they had this gorgeous EF on Mugen MR5s

Westhill’s arsenal is deep and bears a striking resemblence to my dream garage

I sent Yoshitomo some Hatch Life shirts to thank him, he’s the best!
