I could never understand why the japanese kit manufacturers use black cars to show-off their kits.
While I love a black car in person, it doesn't photograph particularly well- does nothing to really show the lines of the kit.

This phenomenon is evidenced on the Auto Couture site, too.... they might as well just post a few concept sketches, I can't tell what the heck is going on with their kit styling! I think they are sweet, but I can't be sure...
hahaha very true bob. i guess in japan they think black means more vip feel? same with wald too, they used black cars to show body kits, and i couldn't see crap about the body lines. even with my ugo kit, they showed black pics and i could only imagine @_@

and hey, you didn't reply my emails hope you aren't annoyed

When you are making add-on kits, it is better to use black car to "cover" the bodyline. Add-on's weakness imo is the its bodyline, which makes it loook just like extra "add on" to your bumper instead of a whole.

Autocouture, like JP, are add on kits.
