love the car and the color great pics and maybe a new wallpaper for me

What a sweet ride ... I'd take one.

M.

I can't believe the size of the exhaust; it looks almost as big as the stock one on the IS 300 :eek2:

What are the meat tenderizers on the roof of the car?

Are you guys getting those?

The exhaust is the first thing I noticed on the car. I can stick my hand in there.

If anybody is wondering how they got the car to look still while everything else around it is moving (which is a very cool effect that gives more of the feeling of the viewer driving and being in motion rather than just watching someone else drive)... you basically just have to get a truck or some other vehicle on a platform and then match the speed of the camera man's vehicle to the speed of the vehicle in the picture almost exactly, then set the lens to where it stays open a little longer than usual (to get more of a motion blur from the objects around the car), and then snap away.

I'm not into photography, but I just read how to do that a while back on a website because I thought it was such a cool effect.:)

Cops are going to pull u over for that exhaust........and definitely the spoiler :D

still want to know the purpose of that black thing on the roof saw a few in person the other day, that color is really nice i must say.

maybe for aerodynamics hahahaha :uh:

id get one, it's just begging to be slammed, that thing looks too high in the front

The things above the rear windshield are some sort of air diffuser. They claim to provide additional downforce at high speeds. Read that in a recent Autoweek.

anyone notice that there's a dent on the trunk, next to "MR"?

car looks good saw the dent funny:cool: :cool:

very sweet!!! Thats a big ass can in the back!!!:thumbup:

I like this better than the STI it just looks meaner.

i guess it's some sort of diffuser. cleans up the airflow at the rear, less turbulance.
Looks pretty tacky imo.

It's actually the MR FQ-400 and makes 400hp 355tqr from the factory.

Aluminnum roof, hood, carbon fiber spoiler some other stuff too.

The FQ-400 continues Japan's honored tradition of fawkng over the Americans.

LOve the thread title and the pics LOL People are getting creative w/ their 56K warnings :p Lucky for me the pics show up instantly!
