Some more pics;
oh and wow:
Infinite Stratos racecar ftw!!!
as well as Nanoha-chan ^.^
Hehe
Anyways
It is unique (I'll give them that).
However
Honestly speaking, I never really understood what makes "Attack on Titan" so great. The warriors are alright..........but I never really like those ugly looking "Titan" humanoid monsters.
But hey, that's just my opinion.
(NOTE: On one hand, that guy must be a RICH OTAKU to do that kind of stuff to his Ferrari
)
With that said:
Going back
I guess I'm more into animes with more girls.
Hence, that's the reason why if I'm going to do an Itasha, it would definitely feature at least one anime girl OR many anime girls
I could probably aim for a Nanoha car or something from Sakurasou Pet Kanojo ^_^
P.S.
Slightly off-topic
By the way, who here has seen Chunbiyo?

It may seem difficult but based on the info that I read it is possible.
Also
Here's what I've read from an old post over at Honda-Tech forums:

Here's what I've read from an old post over at Honda-Tech forums:
bring a high-res file to a sign shop. if you do, report back with price estimates. I'm sure it'll be more than you think.
I own a sign shop and we do print those. You can expect to pay upwards of $10-$15 per square foot for that material. Depending of course on where you are and what the market is like there. You will likely pay a little more for the window perf film. THat material is perforated so that from the inside it looks as though the window is just tinted and you can see through it. If money is not really a problem, you can get them to design one for you but expect to pay even more for design time. you can easily spend 3-$5,000 to design, print, and install a full wrap...

There is a local shop I found that does vinyl wrap jobs. I may give it a shot if I can get another car. I used Anime Stickery to order a few small vinyls for my LS430 and they came out really nice. The shipping takes a while though.
That Clannad SC300 is owned by a friend of mine. His username on here is Drifter X. He's got more pictures in his old build thread.

Haha you have a point.
This is what happens when you mix car culture with Akiba-style geek fandom that Akihabara is known for
Cool info there.
Btw, I'm guessing you're friend is the type of person who goes to events like Anime Expo Los Angeles (the biggest Anime event in the Americas)

It is b/c her name has no Kanji and I am not saying there is no kanji that could 'spell' Haruhi. Lots of people here in Japan use only Katakana, Hiragana and a combination of both these with Kanji for names. It is partly due to people wanting to be individual.

Another post to keep this thread alive.
A Nissan Silvia S15 featuring Saya Tokido (朱鷺戸 沙耶) from the anime entitled Little Busters EX
http://sampdil.blogspot.com/
P.S.
Wow, now that I think about it:
If ever I buy a Lexus GS350 F SPORT, I'd want to put Little Busters itasha on it.
Similar to this one:
That would be the car that I would drive whenever I go to an anime convention hehe
