Daihatsu showed off its redesigned Move and Move Custom kei cars last October, and it only took a few months for the folks at DAMD to customize it in a not-dissimilar fashion to the Suzuki That’s Mini-Escalade mash-up we showed you earlier this week.

This time, however, DAMD has mined the grille styling from another icon of American car design, the Chrysler 300C. Instead of the standard eggcrate grille, the Japanese company has gone with a chrome mesh insert similar to those popular in the U.S. aftermarket,
applying it to the bluff nose of their Concept B Mono.

As was the case with their restyled Suzuki That’s, the company has fitted outfitted the interior in Ancel leather seating and trim, bringing a premium touch to the already interesting supermini. Worth noting is that the huge stock taillamps on the Move Custom would’ve been right at home on the Mini-Escalade, what with its distinctly Cadillac-like aesthetic.

I dig the taillight treatment, but the grille is too much.

Can I get one for my slot car track?

Captain Ironic would probably put a Daihatsu Move grille on his Chrysler 300C.
