Very cool!
Nice to see how passers by are checking out the fantasy cars.
V8 badge emblem is cool idea. Lot of people have no idea that our cars are V8. They think it is Avalon equivalent so it must be a V6.

No pics but I'm supposed to hangout with the owner this weekend. I'll get a few.

It's actually a legit 2000 S15 Silvia. It was in the Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.

When I would take the car out on the weekends I always had kids come up and ask if I had a turbo V6 because of the way my exhaust crackles and pops. It used to drive me crazy so I ordered some 4Runner/GX470 V8 emblems.

Then I would get asked by older guys if it had a V10 or V12 because of the exhaust. I should get a V10 emblem.

LOL

I am checking out this ebay listing.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/7000-Buy1Fre...-/150926242753

I compared the font and it matches GX470 emblem. I think I am going to give it a try.

Exhausts Look awesome too!

Thanks!

One thing I noticed about my friend's mom's GX470 is that the emblem's are connected. On my 09 GX470 mine were separate just like the 4Runner emblems I bought for my car. My emblems also had prongs on the back that needed to be sanded down before I could put them on the car. Give it a shot. You can't go wrong for that price.

Thank you! I like the way the wheels look as well. It came out looking better than I thought.

Yeah, I used some $6 Duplicolor caliper paint. When my hood was getting repainted at the body shop I had my guy spray the calipers for me.

I painted my calipers on my SC300 four years ago and they still look good.

Here are a few pics with my friend's Jaguar XJ8. I'm considering buying but I may go with a BMW or another Toyota/Lexus.

Lexus (both of them) are looking good! Really like the color of the E46 M3 as well!

Pretty impressive for mobile device pics too.

Thank you Dave!

The M3 used to be black and then my friend had it painted that really cool color you see now.
