Whoa I didn't know you guys were on this forum.


Imo I can accept it being it was destined to be parted and stripped, so this is its second chance. Plus, considering the other cars you have, this is perfectly acceptable. Although I do think the rust was a bit too far, but whatever, its a style/fad thing.

Personally it does pain me to see that, being that I'd kill for an FD...

It works, though, doesn't it? Everyone has an opinion on it, and you can't say that about every FD. Personally, I hate the look but I respect Ross for doing something "new" with an FD and why the hell not! It's his personal drift slag, not built as a demo car or anything, he can have it look however he wants

I think it's kinda their car so whatever its out of everyones hands. It looks like a car thats made to get beat up and thats what drift cars are. Mines not great looking either. Its far from this but some people said I should paint mine just because the paints a bit faded. Doesn't bother me. I just say Ya maybe one day lol!

I'm not reading all that.


The trick is to drive awesome, then nobody will give a **** how "terrible" your car looks.

I like the whole "i dont give a ****" styling. I wouldn't do that to a street car but it's whatever i guess.

Do what makes ya happy.

Yes because paint and body work make for softer impacts

I think it's cool. I wouldn't do it if it was my car, but I'm glad someone tried something
