He dubbed his creation Engraved EG and during the two years needed to complete his project, he drew inspiration from various sources, like Japanese anime or various brands like the Monster energy drink. As recognition for his awesome dedication to both his art and his car, Honda decided to showcase the Engraved EG in its dealerships. The car maker’s facebook page also featured the impressive engraved Civic.
