I know that the Sport is a 2-door and the Ridgeline is a 4-door, and the pickup bed shapes are slightly different, but the lights, grille, rear bumper, and a little bit of the fenders make the Sport somewhat resemble the Ridgeline (IMHO). What are your guys' thoughts on a 2-door Ridgeline as a body for my 10ii (I don't think there's a 2-door IRL, but oh well)? If I do plan on going this route, I will probably print out the badges and logos on a sheet of white paper and make them into decals with tape. For the badge on the grille, I'll probably stick a sticker on a small flat piece of black plastic and hot glue it on top of the TRX logo. I'll see if I can photo shop Honda badges onto a Sport body to see what it would look like.

For my 10ii, I'll probably go with a Sport body, and make it look like a Honda Ridgeline. In the future, I might extend the cab to a 4 door with another body, but for now, I think a 2-door Ridgeline is fine. And if anyone is wondering why I chose a Ridgeline body, it's because I like Hondas, and the body isn't too hard to do. Of course, it's not 100% scale (real Ridgeline has independent front and rear suspension, is a 4-door, etc), but I think it's scale enough for people to recognize what it's supposed to resemble.

Oh for sure if they know Honda they will see it
