I've waited over a month for my grill.....
and so much happened in between I don't wanna explain...... but it's not Hiro who to blame, it's AeroTech japan.

Are the wheels that are shoown in some of the pics even available in the states???? Can an LS hold a MUCH wider rim than a GS?? One last thing: does the wide body kit enable those outrageous width wheels?? Sorry so many questions... Thanks, Tiny

Hey EDOGG !


Hey are you still gonna get the quads? If you do let me know which brand you are getting. In like a week, I am going to finally hear how the TTE quads sound like from a guy that my brother knows.

The wheels you see on a lot of those cars are very wide. Most of the cars have some sort of fender work (widened and whatnot), for other, they do a little undersizing "trick". They get say an 11" wide rim, but then they put a 275 size tire on it so the sidewall is actually at like a 45 degree angle. This allows you to have a FAT lip w/o rubbing too bad (unless you hit a decent bump)...this is NOT recommended for safety and peformance reasons...plus it REALLY exposes the edge of your lips to damage...

You can also spec low disk wheels which will give you a deeper lip but then again, you might have to shave even the STOCK brake calipers...

Default Vanning!

What's REALLY funny are the fixed up mini-vans in Japan (Vanning)...talk about scary...I'd rather be hit by a Ford Expedition than one of these mini-vans with 50K lbs of bondo "aerodynamics" slapped on 'em...
Manaray, when I saw that picture I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes. That's just straight wrong! I've never seen anything like that in my entire life. Honestly, if I ever pulled up to anything like that on the street, I would bust out laughing so damn hard and wouldn't care if the owner saw me.

UC Supra - Well instead of trying to import a Majesta, you can always do this...

This is a Junction Produce Premiums Wide Body kit for the UCF20/20 MC After Celsior (98-01 LS400)...

THIS is VIP....

Let just say that I have decided to widebody whatever "beater" I happen to get (I'm considering a few different cars right now)...

May not be for a while but that's ok, I can wait to do it right...
