don't take it personal, just my opinion, but the black wood doesn't look right with the ivory interior and stock colored center. the table is, uh, different too.

haha im def not Japanese, and i do want my car to look different, and how could you have bought that table a hundred times or thought about it if they just came out for left hand drive cars it was a direct bolt on none of that bs to flip it or what not.. and your right, thats why i dont do curtains ( about a little vip goes a long way) thats why i bought one of the most subtle looking kits out there

i am not sure about that table just coming out, i've got vip mags from 06 (06 for sure and maybe even 05 if i think about it real hard) that have them in it near the back (or front in the u.s.) that say right or left hand drive... ur kit is nice and subtle,,, i was thinking about the wald executive or sports (i forget which) kit for a while cuz it is subtle/ vip and cheap. ur jp one is crazy expensive. when i had my nissan gloria (m35) with the aimgain kit in j-pan i spent more replacing pieces and getting them repainted then i initially did on the kit itself.

what about you??? how much have you spent on just replacing the various pieces + paint...?

i spent like 3K for the kit + the custom paint the first go round and at least 4K in the 2 years following keeping the custom paint and pieces new... i guess i shouldn't have tried to slide around so many corners now that i think about it. the suspension was also a costly upgrade that had many additional things needing to be replaced or added that i was not aware of when i made the initial purchase + install.

my wife won't let me drop like 5k on the suspension + kits anymore. but i think my next car will def. have to have them again, i'll just confuse her and make her think that the car comes with that stuff if i get it installed soon after the purchase... i'll use some good trickery next go round'.

well as a whole ive spend alot over the past 5 years over crazy ****, to be honest ive spent 17k with the turbo (price w/o the car) ive always paid off my stuff so i dont have any car payments on anything and for the kit and paint with fogs and little accessories from JP (thanks so high society) they gave me a stupid deal on a JP kit so i couldnt say no i think i might have paid 4300 for all of that which was awesome

yeah mine in japan was a full kit at one point but i kept hitting curbs either on the side from doing silly stuff or on the front from pulling up to far, and once in the back from parking with the rear hanging out into a side street and i thought there is no way another car will hit mine for sticking out in the street about 6 inches. oh man was i wrong about that one...

you've never cracked or chipped or broke, or just bottomed out and had to repair or replace any of your pieces huh? you must either be a really good driver or be lucky enough to live in a place with flat roads and no pot holes or dips or small curbs going into businesses or driveways. maybe mine was just to low to the ground with the 2 inch drop and body kit... hmmm.... now i feel like a dumbass.
