How to give the 'line that "jap" look

[Greg]

Ok at the moment my 'line is dead stock in terms of rice.... and by spending as little as possible, I want to give it that "Japanese" look. I'm not after "pure rice" and I don't want to cover the car in stickers, I just want something to give it a little extra street credit :headbang:

All the skylines in Japan that I see on the net look kind of different from the ones you see here, so what do they do that we don't?

I have so far thought of the following:

- super dark tinting

- jap brand body kit (too expensive for me though)

Got any suggestions?

Have stickers like...

"Street RACING"

"GOOD ROAD"

"MUFFLER"

"FAST CAR"

"THUMBS UP" etc..etc.

These are actually cover the JAP cars I've seen on Videos...1st time I saw them I scratched my head for while?!?!?

or for the true Jap ricey car cover your half windscreen with the stickers that does not make sense...

me two cents

cheers

if u want "street cred" as u put it... how about doing some power mods rather than making it look like a tiger when its really a kitten

[PurpleR32]

Have a sticker made up in jap-lish

like "Hardcore Windscreen" or "Always Bald"

-- get some fullsik neons

-- get some mugen stickers and maybe a 'vtec inside' sticker

-- get a doof doof system

though they r not cheap,

a set of RAYS will do it nice and clean .

actually... i think i saw a copy of the bronze RAYS on a black my02 wrx... it was in hot4s... would be alot cheaper than the original.

ROFL i agree, so many ppl make it look hot when its a stock dog box "NO Offence m8" engine mods would be a better mod i reckon than poxy stickers. Or u could always go buy a FORD or a LEYLAND, HAHAH ROFL

Jap bodykit, C-West T-Wing, Rays TE37's in white, Cup-holder in the vent, and a few stickers down the drivers door (say HKS, 5Zigen, C-West, Trust etc...)

Now that's jap!!!!!

You forgot a "type-r" sticker, one of those fake blow off valves for N/A cars, fake fuel filler, oh and of course the 'sik' wheel lights

I don't want rice!!!

I just want to make it look more 'oriental'....LOL I don't think some people understand what I mean by that

I like the cup holder in the air vent idea, you see that on heaps of jap cars!!

[RadiuM]

whack on stickers like..

' super fun turismo movement'

'racing dream flow power '

and crap like that. hehe :-)

but if you want real street cred.. put a cage in it!

NOBODY runs me unless i initiate it and she's a bog stock 32 enginewise so theyll most probably blow me away. The best thing is she handles like a dream

CUP HOLDER in the vent !!!!

[adam 32]

i hate those things!!!

i had 4 of them in my car when it came over from jap, and i managed to break every A/C vent getting them out. why dont jap car manufacturers just DESIGN CUP HOLDERS!
