Well if he got rid of the stupid offset wheels with insane tire stretch, rear side skirts, stupid LEDs, row of gauges, woofers in the trunk and the Bose acouticwave system in the back, it would look pretty good.

Negative. I learned to squint really hard to hide the imperfections. If i could retract jizz, I wouldn't have to waste my money on... Wait... What?

Car looks sharp to me. Other than the oversized shift stick, I wouldn't change it. The wheel type I think is far better contrast to the norm. I prefer recessed wheel centers almost mimicking a racing wheel which is what I'm looking for later down the road investing in rims. His size selection could of been a tad smaller diameter wise, but that's about it.

Have to say I wonder where the heck a 21 yr old gets that kind of cashola to blow what looks like 10-20g's in parts for a car when going to school unless grandma left some serious cash in his savings before he was born. Part type or summer work can't fill that kind of void in a wallet to fund those upgrades, especially when it took only 8 months to put it all together..

It's his car, but he just took all the sport out of a sports car.

The wheels and exhaust tips look like crap. But then again I hate Bosozoku style...

I saw that FD at SevenStock last year....it's an eye grabber for sure.

It's not my style but I can dig it. Especially since he stands behind it and built it for what he wants....don't conform.

It actually is an eye grabber. I would not mind at all being seen in it. Rims would not be my first choice though I still like the style he went for.

i think you guys should give the man credit. its very hard to throw in all different type of styles into one car.

he got the boso style (hotoni baka mitai)

he got the, rolling down the street, smoking iXXX , sipping on gin and juice style

he got the , vrrrrooooom, poossh, vrrooooooooom sytle

he got the japanese writing all over his car , but only japanese ppl can read style..

what more can you ask for a car.

The irony of it is... this is what half of all cars in Japan look like. It's called 'VIP' style and is extremely popular, probably more so than the tuner style we get from the drift crowd.
