Manaray,
Everyone here appreciates you taking the time to post pics like these. You certainly seem to have a knack for finding new JDM stuff before the rest of us.
But really, how on Earth does scanning some pics out of a magazine give you the right to slap your copyright all over the images? Surely you know that you don't actually hold a copyright on any of these.
For someone who always talks about integrity, and bashes knockoff wheel companies for stealing others' designs, this seems highly inappropriate. By all means, keep posting pics of new stuff, but please, stop with the "copyright" BS.

Sanjuro, the reason why I do that is not for the reasons you're thinking. I do that to discourage people from using the images on their websites and auctions w/o at least asking me. It'd be one thing if it was just an "enthusiast's" site, but in most cases, it's a site to make profit that uses my images...
Why do I care? Because it cost me money and it takes time for me to scan those images in and then some biatch takes it and uses it on their website to make themselves money...it's principle.
The whole "copyright" thing just comes from when I used to do a lot of Photoshop work (old timers here will remember) and I used to do heavy modifcations to images, which is COPYRIGHTABLE. I just never bothered to change the info...
Also, I'm not "stealing" designs...and I'm not making profit so it's NOTHING like what the knock-off wheel companies do...get that straight...now if I made a CD with all the images I have scanned in and tried to sell it for $99.95 (or three easy payments of $33.95!), then that's another thing...
Instead of complaining, why not spend YOUR time to to find a Japanese book store that carries these magazines, spend YOUR money to buy these magazines, spend YOUR time to scan them in, spend YOUR time clean them up, spend YOUR time to find a host, YOUR time to upload the photos, and YOUR time to post it...

wait till you see the new veilside kit...i just saw it for the first time today.
think...mildly aggresive front end...a cross between M3 mouth, and veilside? its hard to explain, its kinda like the front end on their van kits, the side skirts are clean, rear wing is small, kinda like L Sportline, and the rear bumper has been cleaned up. They now offer a grill to go with the hood. The more i see it the more i like it. When its offical to release it, i'll post some pics.

...last time I posted a "new" picture from Veilside (before the official release), they had a little "issue" with it (I took it down out of respect for Veilside)...
