Yo,


I'm scaring myself. I actually LIKE the wing on the second FC2000 kitted FC. Without the winglets, of course...

Someone please explain to me the propensity for Japanese tuners to put decals on backwards? I know the pic isn't inverted, the car next to it has the decals correct..

I just don't get that.

Anyway, I'm over here looking at the pics drooling.

I think the decals are supposed to be mirror image of the other side of the car.

What I'm wondering is why there is a plant in the back of it.

Yes its a convertible FC. They're called butterfly doors or scissor doors.

Suicide doors are normal doors w/ the hinge on the back, and you can't (easily) jump out of the car (im assuming when playing chicken) and hence the name suicide doors.

I like the side marker clear lenses - they do look good on white. (that's why I have 'em).
The wing has to go, but I sorta like the winglets on the front.

Hell yes, me too.
Although I'd like one w/o stickers and a full interior (racing seats, and all those goodies)
Either no wing, or a very mild CF GT-R wing.

I swear, I gotta get a job working for them. That would be the ultimate job right there, make awesome cars all day. Where can I get front fenders like that? Are they custom? That white car has an awesome intake, it goes strait to the filter. I also notice it has had three different sets of wheels on it: those silver ones in the picture, ones just like but bronze at 2002 TAS, and the ones in the video. Did you guys see the license plate in the video? When he hit it on the highway it flips under the air dam so the intercooler gets more air! Its on frickin' hinges, Awesome.

It's to keep the car symmetrical.&nbsp The left and right sides would have the stickers in "exactly" the same positions.

Either that or too many reverse negatives...

I am sorry but if someone here in America fabbed that wing from scratch, and it wasnt to be seen in japan, I think many people on here would rag all over it. Arospeed make a CF wing that looks VERY similar to that shape.
