Default Very Interesting Cima

Purists, look away. This car is going to make some of you guys barf in your own mouths, but i personally love it. The whole car is caged and the rear doors are welded shut. by no means would i consider this a VIP build, but i had no idea where else it would fit in. Seeing as how a lot of the members that frequent the VIP section I'm sure you guys have seen some insane sedans, but nothing quite like this. Lets try to do something fun with this. I call it the complement sandwich. We say something we like about the car, then something we do not like about the car. Then we end with something we like about the car. Or visa versa.

Ill Start.


I like how the rear doors are welded shut.

I dislike how the cage extends over the passenger seat and the front window. I would have ran the cage alone the pillers, but not like he did.

I love the fitment, and the overall look of the car.


Cant wait to see what you VIP CL guys have to say about this.

i was behind some 80's toyota sedan the other day that looked very very similar. from the back i could tell it was slammed and cambered the F out. as i got up next to it it looked like ***, sounded like ***, and was missing a bunch of chunks out of the front fender. some young cute japanese girl was driving it, but the car was still F'd up though.

here they really don't give an F about paint, fenders, and wheel corrosion at all.
