‘That’s Obviously a Villain Car:' Man Spots Honda Fit in Parking Lot. Then He Notices the Back
'I thought it was crashed at first.'
A customized Honda Fit is leaving people speechless.
The vehicle was recorded by Skylar (@theoneskylar) and posted on TikTok. As of this writing, it’s accrued over 12.7 million views.
“A Honda Fit bro,” the text overlay in the clip reads. Skylar circles the vehicle to give people the full view. It appears the car has been fashioned to resemble a 1940s Ford Deluxe with swooping back indents rendering it akin to something the Penguin might drive in Batman: The Animated Series.
It appears that the owner tacked a body kit onto the vehicle to give it this look.

The kit on the Honda Fit seems to have considerable flaws, however. For instance, there’s a large indentation on the section of the Fit where the add-on joins the roof. There are also smaller depressions pockmarked throughout the entirety of the kit.
The augmented car has limited rear visibility because the panels completely cover the passenger windows. The Fit’s smaller rear windows have been left unobstructed, however. But there are glaring inconsistencies where the panels meet the windows.
There’s nary a straight line on the Fit. Further, the black paint job seems to have been self-applied. It doesn’t match the rest of the vehicle.
“What the [expletive]? That’s a [expletive] Honda Fit, bro,” Skylar says as he videos the car.
A caption on his post reads: “Someone find the owner of this car. Craziest welding job and fiberglass molding.”
To Kit or Not?
Car body kits come with pros and cons.
Some, like this crafted carbon fiber kit for the Lamborghini Revuelto, can improve performance.
As Motor1 reported, it reduces a car’s drag coefficient and overall weight. It can give the vehicle more acceleration and enable it to reach top speeds more quickly. It may even improve gas mileage figures.
However, as Torque points out, they can also have downsides. Installing kits that make vehicles less aerodynamic can have the exact opposite effect.
Furthermore, if not engineered, manufactured, and installed by a professional, they can result in a final product akin to the Honda Fit shown in Skylar’s TikTok.
Unfortunate Vehicle Modifications
There’s no shortage of automotive enthusiasts who enjoy collectively wincing at unfortunate vehicular modifications. For example, Redditors both loved and hated a BMW Mini Cooper whose owner transformed it into an open-engine bay drag roadster.
Another Honda owner caught flak for attaching a body kit to their vehicle. The car features a number of curved metallic slabs buckled into the Civic VX’s body. Ultimately, this results in a “ratchback” aesthetic, severely inhibiting rear windshield visibility.
Some modifications aren’t as dramatic, however.
People are generally in favor of the car with a fake gauge cluster on the dash. Many said it reminds them of Top Gun. “Goooooooose!!" wrote one, referring to a character from the first film.
‘Blindspot of Doom’
Folks who replied to Skylar’s video seemed equally troubled by the existence of such a vehicle. “Imagine describing this car to a 911 operator,” one user pointed out.
Another highlighted how the modifications affected the vehicle’s functionality. “Blindspot of doom and despair,” they remarked.
Someone else said that the car is akin to something a broke Batman would drive. “Bruce Wayne hit a bit of a financial rough patch,” they joked.
One commenter attributed the vehicle’s design to another fictional character. “This Despicable Me car.”
Whereas one TikTok user didn’t believe the car was a modification at all. Initially, they thought Skylar had uploaded footage of a Honda Fit that had been in a bad accident. “I thought it was crashed at first.”
One person thought the car has a particularly villainous vibe, writing simply: “Evil Honda Fit.”
Motor1 has reached out to Skylar via TikTok comment for further information. We’ll be sure to update this if he responds.
