I think air suspension is the next step. You're pretty complete inside and out but if you're going for show, it needs to be laying on the ground.

Just curious, what was damaged in the accident? Do you have any before pictures?

thanks for all the compliments everyone

VIP-UCF - it is inside a toyota dealership. they were hosting a show here

mdenoga - yah unfortunately it didnt make it down so SEMA which really sucks but hopefully ill have another chance, im still rocking the VSC sticker though as you can see in picture 2 Forum image

chrispy - who knows.. that may be next. :-P haha, i didnt take any pictures of the damage after the accident because it just hurt to see it like that so much. basically the front bumper and rear bumper were ripped up the side skirts were cracked. the lower radiator shroud was ripped to shreds and a couple of my wheels were damaged (bent, scraped up)

Very nice and thorough car!
It was a brilliant idea to use the kamikaze and tie it in with the flag around the subs and paint the mural of The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Very impressive and well thought out!
Have you ever thought about incorporating any other of the "36 views of Fuji" into the interior or engine bay? Just an idea. But the whole car is very clean!
Nice job! m(_ _ )m

Kenji, your boy does some good work.

And for those inquiring about this sticker, this version is not available to everyone. It was made for a group of members on here. For general sticker inquiries, contact "SikNLow".

mdenoga - yah i was really happy with how it turned out.. you cant really tell from the picture but the gold in the background is actually a chrome metallic gold. it came out real good.. initially i wanted to do it with gold in the front with white background but this look good as well.


blacknese - thanks for the compliment man. it took me a while to decide what wheels i wanted to go with but i loved these wheels so i decided to go with them..
