Almost looks like the Wald S21 but i know its not... still a nice clean look though. not too sure about the brabus emblem...

jtanoyo is right...1 out of 2 hondas in my city have chinese symbols all over them and if you ask the kids what they mean they say things like "power" or "zoom zoom" or some crap like that. i always thought it would be cool if whoever made these stickers made ones that really meant "I AM A DUMBASS" and told them it meant something like "force"...

thats too funny, well their was an article a little while ago where an ashian guy who does tattoos was putting things like dummy, idiot, and jack as$ on some kids who wanted ashian writting on their body..becuase he wanted the to learn that just cuz u have ashian writting and symboyls doesn't make u cool and it makes u a bigger fool if u don't know what they wrote on u...

I have to disagree... A 1/4 panel is a weld on part and a fender is a bolt on part...A VW bug has fenders in the rear as they bolt on but no car has a 1/4 panels in the front.
Ask your "guy" if he disagrees.

Default Rims filenames are:

For whatever it's worth- I noticed that if you save the filename of one of the rim shot- it is "tdr japan" - chose this name- unless someone changed the name. It has red hard to make out what it says but it has tdr writing along the rim.

they are two different versions of the same wheel- One is obviously different from the other.

The other has the lexus/toyota emblem, all the pictures of it are saved as "jdm aristo wheel".

I beleive these are the two rims under the microscope.

neither one of these statements are very accurate...last i checked there are people with bad hairdo's and different taste in styles from every country and origin...what some call rice others would die for - literally

was i the only guy who wore Z-Cavaricci pants???
