LOL actually if you are at all interested in that there is the whole topic of "itasha" which you can research into and talk about if you are interested in it....

I mean there is enough cult following that there are magazines that go about this style exclusively. (Itasha Road)

It's a style, like lowridin', VIP and drift "style" ....... you lose all faith but that style is sort of what I'm pursuiting with my JDM import car.

It doesn't hurt anyone right? So let it be!

Here have another WTF car:

you can be as disappointed and WTF'd about it as much as you want but under the anime skin this is a white knuckled race hardened Super GT GT300 class race car. They were brave enough to be the only BMW Z4 Motorsport race car out there with a V8 under the hood... So props to them.

Finally I'd like to mention the whole reason why there are so few actually "go faster" tuner cars these days compared to the 90s: Cars are fast enough out of the box. Car people have come to finally realise that instead of making a 2.5i faster it's better to save up and just get the STi, instead of making the D16Z 100bhp it's better to buy a Civic Si or at least the engine of a Civic Si....... Power comes so easily and reliably from factory ot's hard to justify tuning modern cars (say 2004 onwards....) We also picked up all the hot models around the world (other than a few European "lukewarm" models) the need for speed is more easily obtained from Toyota than TRD...

I mean come on you can get a new Camry that will put out more power than a R32GTR stock for stock.......who still tunes for performance these days? Especially when there is no proper motorsport venue around...
