Hot Import Nights, Los Angeles '04: 1st Place, Glowoff categoryI've put a whole lot of man hours into working on it since almost everything was done by myself or with the help of friends (much thanks to Pack Ratt!). And a special thanks to my Prelude colleague, Ricky, for taking the excellent dynamicfusion pics of my car. Moonlight Vision is set up as a 'gadget car' or 'mobile disco' rather than having a wild body kit or paint job.
