Why does it have to be the fugly little hatch body, though? Wouldn't that be a cool set of modifications to the Civic sedan body, along with welding the rear doors shut?
@Ambiguously Unfunny Serial Killer: Not black. The idea of the sleeper car in black has been around a little too long for anyone save an abject moron to fall for it. Try a color like white, or silver, or blue.
If you were to take a 96 Impala SS paint it white, toss a supercharged LS2 under the hood and a nice, quiet exhaust, I guarantee you no one would see it coming.
@pauljones: Yeah, white would be good. Also, for the Impala SS, you could take out the rear seats, and the 500 lbs of plastic and interior, tint the windows so no one could tell, and just have two regular front seats. It would be amazing.
@Ambiguously Unfunny Serial Killer: Maybe to the great unwashed, but to me, anything black and debadged isn't a sleeper, unless it's in a long procession and the person in the back is taking a dirt nap.

Why spend money dressing up a hot dog when you can just buy a plain steak? Terrible analogy, I know.

Grass, relative greenness based on viewpoint, etc.
