Go to Japantown and buy VIP Style magazines. I think you will be thoroughly impressed.

Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
off topic, Lex400 that quote is funny as hell man, i thought it was going to have some sort of deep meaning, then I got to the end and busted out laughing!! LOL

Nice!

The wheel offset could be adjusted a tad. I can't quite tell, do the back wheels tip in being that low?

Where is "Japantown" located? I am going to NorCal for a visit and would like to get another copy of the mag.

its funny that in every big city, there is a "Chinatown" (thats what they call it in New York and Boston). When he said "Japantown" I knew just what he was talking about!

Pagong, here are online directions to Japantown: http://www.japantown.ws/direction/ . When you get off the bridge, there will be tourist signs posted at every corner that steer you in the right direction. They are usually clustered together like "North Beach left, Fisherman's Wharf straight, Japantown right, Golden Gate Park right" etc. When you think you're getting close, look for a huge pagota or a bunch of Japanese cloth banners running down the streetlamps. I don't remember by name which mall I go to, but they have a huge Japanese bookstore on the second floor with a large section on JDM tuner magazines/catalogs, even multi-volume, car-specific ones (Aristo Bible, Celsior Bible, Soarer Bible). Because the stuff is imported from Japan, they are kind of pricey, but you can flip through a single VIP Style mag for hours and hours, and in my case discover two or three bodykits that no one here's even heard of

You are right about the offset. It looks like the wheels could stick out some more for a more aggressive stance. But dang, what a nice drop!
