Liberty Walk has taken the Honda Civic Type R and turned the dial all the way up.
The Japanese tuner is known for going extreme, and this build proves it again.
What used to be a sharp-looking hot hatch now looks like it belongs on a race grid.
And somehow, the most outrageous part isn’t even what’s under the hood.

The Civic Type R’s transformation
Liberty Walk has revealed its version of the Honda Civic Type R, and it’s exactly as over-the-top as you’d expect.
The front end gets a full makeover, with a huge open grille, a sharp carbon splitter, and wide fenders that stick out far past the original body.
It instantly makes the car look lower, wider, and way more aggressive.
Moving down the sides, chunky side skirts and bolt-on arches push that widebody look even further.
Then around the back, things get even more serious.
There’s a redesigned bumper, a tall diffuser, three exhaust pipes sitting right in the center, and a massive rear wing that nearly reaches the roof.
It’s less daily driver and more ‘don’t even think about speed bumps.’
Speaking of that, the ride height is ridiculously low.
Like, you’d panic pulling into a driveway low.
Liberty Walk tagged suspension company AGT Shock in the reveal, which suggests it’s running air suspension so it can lift when needed.
Otherwise, this thing wouldn’t survive five minutes on a normal road.
The wheel fitment is also super tight, with the fenders sitting right on top of the tires for that signature slammed look.
But here’s the twist.
Underneath all that drama, it’s still the same Civic Type R with about 315 horsepower.
No extra speed, no hidden upgrades, just a massive visual glow-up.
The kit itself is also not as expensive as you might expect, starting at around $11,000 for fiberglass or about $16,380 if you want carbon fiber thrown in.
Fitting it all, though, is a whole other bill.
Liberty Walk has never really cared about keeping cars original
If this feels a bit shocking, that’s kind of Liberty Walk’s thing.
The company has made a name for itself by modifying cars people usually treat like museum pieces, from Ferraris to Lamborghinis.
Some people love it, others absolutely hate it, and Liberty Walk seems pretty happy sitting right in the middle of that argument.
That said, the Civic Type R feels like fair game.
It’s been a favorite in the tuning world forever, so changing it up doesn’t feel quite as controversial as slicing into a rare supercar.
In a way, this build just takes what the Civic has always been about and pushes it way further.
Still, it’s one of those cars you either instantly love or just don’t get at all.
It might not be any faster, but it definitely makes sure everyone notices it, which, for Liberty Walk, is kind of the whole point.
