The lip is definitely not installed correctly and do not care much for the stickers. But it is sexy lip.

+1, the idea of shitty fitting aero, zip ties, etc - they all go along the same lines. The style evolved out of drifting and part of making it work is having that, "I don't give a ****" attitude about it.

I like his car

Could be a replica Leg, overseas I'm sure they have replicas of parts that seem much more rare here. Hell, if I were that low I wouldn't be able to make myself rock an authentic lip!

what are people saying about zips?!?!

i wouldnt really call it a style... drifters use zips to mount there aero so if they hit anything it will just comes off, instead of ripping the whole bumper mounted with bolts off the zips just break without leaving damage.

i wouldnt really call it a style.

IDk Zips in drifting is for a function like you stated. Not really a style.

You are missing what he stated. It IS a style... it is functional for drifters.. but has become a style also... people are doing this to their cars who never drifted.

It is a style as well in the jdm community.

I was also talking about the stickers... those are functional for only about 15 hp... lol

People commented about the stickers, people commented about the fitment of the lip, people commented about the zip ties.

I said they're all a part of the style, a style that oriented in drifting.

No one said anything about leaving zip ties sticking out as only a style. You and NYCDriftKing read way too much into that one...

Yeah, some people do that **** because they think it looks cool, that's not what any of us were saying though. Zip ties are like the duct take of aero parts!
