The tricked out Fall Out Boy Honda Civic Hybrid revealed
I'm pretty sure this is the last time I'll write about Fall Out Boy and their tricked-out Honda Civic Hybrid. After the first two mentions and Honda's refusal to explain exactly what was going to happen with this car, I just couldn't leave it when information on the actual details were finally released.
Honda is playing up the eco-credentials of the EPA-rated 50 mpg hybrid, but the band was more interested in giving it a hip paint job and design on the outside and putting in a better sound system on the inside (you can read the exact list of modifications after the jump). The band's eco-choice is the custom embroidered "eco-friendly" hemp upholstery in the headliner and carpeting. I particularly like the umbrella on the front there.
At the end of the Honda Civic Tour, the car will be given away to one lucky fan (or, I suppose, an unlucky non-fan). The Honda Civic Tour website is accepting entries starting today.

Does it come with a white baseball cap created from 100 recycled fibers and biodegradable?
