<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/forza+motorsport/"><em>Forza Motorsport</em></a> games are known for a few things, one of which is the extensive range of customization options available for each car. Gamers have complete control over the look and size of wheels, window tints, paints and decals, as well as various different finishes. For <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/forza+motorsport+5/"><em>Forza Motorsport 5</em></a>, players even have access to carbon fiber, gold, chrome, brass and camouflaged finishes.<br />
<br />
To celebrate this, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> held a little contest among gamers that challenged them to prepare a custom <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/civic/">Civic Si</a>. The winner would see their design applied to an actual car and shown at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/chicago-auto-show/">2014 Chicago Auto Show</a>. This is that car. Designed by Tiffany Labedz, it was one of 170 entries in the Forza Motorsport Civic Si Design Contest. It took the title, with 17,000 votes from members of the Forza community.<br />
