How To Be Featured

Cars can be featured through the Hikari Rating in two ways.

The first is by request, where owners choose to commission a Hikari Rating as a service for £29.99. This is ideal for those looking to use the rating as a credible selling feature, or for owners who simply want an objective assessment of where their pride and joy truly stands. w/custom photos included in our price. enquiries (thathikariproject@gmail.com)

The second is through selection. From time to time, we independently identify and approach cars that we believe deserve recognition. These are vehicles that naturally stand out and align closely with the standards the Hikari Rating represents.
Whether a car is submitted or selected, the process and criteria remain exactly the same.
The Hikari Rating is final and impartial.
no inflated ratings, and no compromises.
A Hikari Rating is earned not bought. As recognition grows, the Hikari Rating will stand as a mark of excellence.
