We have to say that their new accessory package for Honda's <a href="http://www.honda.co.jp/VAMOS/">Vamos</a>, <a href="http://www.honda.co.jp/Hobio/">Hobio</a> and <a href="http://www.honda.co.jp/ACTY/van/">Acty </a>vans takes the cake, though.<br /><br />Once the OE parts are switched out for the DAMD pieces, the little kei-class vans are transformed into miniaturized <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_A100">Dodge A100s</a>. DAMD calls the kit <a href="http://www.damd.co.jp/products/honda/acty01_lb.html#">"Locoboy."</a> Honda's Vamos family of microvans certainly lends itself to retro-fication. You may recall the Vamos we featured back in August, which was <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/02/tokyo-automatic-gallery-06-vamos-a-los-70s/">kitted to look like a 1972 Honda Step Life</a> van.<br /><br />The Step Life clone was cool, but the Locoboy operates on an entirely different plane. We'd roll in this all day. <br /><br />[Source: DAMD]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/01/get-outta-dodge-damd-goes-loco-boy/">Get outta Dodge: DAMD goes Loco(boy)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 01 Jan 2007 10:31:00 EST.
