Designing a real Civic race car in Osaka for Exceed and No Good
A couple months ago, Yasu acquired an old EK4 Civic race car that had spent much of its life competing in the Suzuka Clubman onemake race series. The car physically was still in pretty good shape but you can tell that it had been raced a lot. It just had a lot of wear and tear, you know He wanted to do more circuit racing and time attack events this year using this newlyacquired EK4 so he asked me to design a livery for it. I don t know why he thinks I m capable of it because I ve actually never done a full livery on a real car before but I figured I d give it a shot. He owns a body shop so if it came out terrible, we could just tear it apart and redo it. My friends had always talked about doing a Mintia livery because it s our favorite Japanese mint and has long been an inside joke. I think most of our friends and acquaintances know about Mintia because we d always share them with everyone. Der even has a credit card with a custom Mintia skin. So I studied the packaging
