Carlos’ Carbon Storm DC

5
I present to you Carlos’ Stormtrooper’d out Carbon DC. By carbon I mean this car is pretty much rocking all carbon fiber exterior parts. This car went through a journey to get to the award winning car you see today.


Back when Carlos was first starting out, like most Hondas of this generation. It got stolen. Carlos later found his car stripped and beaten in a junk yard. Most people at this point would just say F*ck it and move on. But not Carlos. He pushed on and bought the car back, knowing that he was going to bring it back better and stronger than before. That is what I admire, because cars are loved in the eyes of the beholder, and only the one who beholds it can see its potential.

I love the way this car sits, and how it looks. I’m not even a big fan of carbon fiber but this car pulls it off very well. Carlos has put in a lot of hard work to get this car back to where it is today, and his hard work has paid off this year. So far he has taken home 4 1st place trophies and landed this feature on Carsxhype!
