as for your question, i think it's basically just a bedazzler treatment for your car!

might attract chicks like this--

When I lived in Okinawa, we saw a lot of cars that shaved everything off and would just install chrome pop rivets in the misc. holes left over from the emblems and such. These are a little different but I thought I would let you know.

It very well oculd be that that IC is mad by Tom's..

And I didn't see any mugen emblems on the car. I looked through all the photos again to be sure. Which photo had a Mugen logo?

The tom's is on the radiator and the Mugen is on the strut bar. I've seen that car in person and in superstreet(?) one of those magazines, you can't really see it on the speedoptions pics.

nope, they list on the bottom Greddy FMIC. (my conclusion that this car is rice still holds)

Nice, That car doesn't go anywhere any way. It is pure show. It was at 7stock and the guy jacks it up and puts the giant wheels on it for show. pointless
