Honda & Paramore team up for 2010 Honda Civic Tour
The legacy of the Honda Civic Tour burns bright, and Paramore is the latest band representing the roots of the music that started it all. Since the tour began back in 2001, powerful acts like blink-182, Incubus, New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, Black Eyed Peas and Fallout Boy have rocked audiences across the U.S. Some of the greatest bands of the last decade have passed the torch year to year, and history is still in the making.
A Custom built 2010 Honda Civic was built to Paramore’s specifications to celebrate the kick-off of this year’s Honda Civic Tour!
Custom Paint
The exterior of the car features a “flowing hair” theme. Paramore provided design direction, with Santini USA supplying custom painting, using 1/2 mile of masking tape to create the lines that simulate Hayley’s hair. House of Kolor paint was used to transform the factory metal body into shifting shades of burgundy, orange, gold and yellow. Custom graphics include the airbrushed Paramore logo, surrounded by butterfly wings, that graces the hood. This image streams across the driver’s fender, metamorphosing into smaller butterflies as it progresses toward the back of the vehicle. Lyrics from Paramore’s songs appear on the body panels. The Honda Civic Tour logo, meanwhile, can be found on the rear bumper amid custom bumper stickers, creating a visual effect reminiscent of Paramore singer Hayley Williams’ own car.
Custom Exterior
The exterior also boasts a Honda Factory Performance sport muffler and upgraded aero parts: a lower front spoiler, larger side skirts and a lower rear spoiler. Red LED taillights come courtesy of Anzo USA.
Interior Customization
The customized interior is also reminiscent of Hayley’s car, sporting a collection of buttons on the sun visors. Paramore’s frontwoman added additional color by wrapping the steering wheel, shifter and e-brake handles the same way she wraps her microphone stand onstage. Opening the car’s trunk reveals a complete MOTHERS(R) detailing kit to keep the interior rockin’ – and the “hair” looking shiny and smooth.
