I mean the car is all right, nicely built 2jz-gte.. Nice wheels.. But.. The front bumper would be better off as a DVD shelf.. Rofl

everything but the front bumper looks good.

but nonetheless, with or without that front, your car or my car will never be as buff as that one.

inex22 · 03-04-2009, 02:37 AM

i concur with mark on this one.

hella buff.

madchyers · 03-04-2009, 02:45 AM

they put that bumper on cause they know it'll beat cars like ours, and at the same time make us shake our heads cause of how ridiculous it is...under the hood = beastly...i'd have kept it single exhaust with a single exhast bumper, stock wing, imo...oh and obviously a tasteful front bumper. but either way, i can't say that car ISN'T sick, the under the hood pic made up for the ridiculous bumper

forget the front bumper. look at that engine bay!

If I'm not mistaken this IS has been discussed numerous times before.

The reason for the front bumper design was for aerodynamics and stability at high speeds and the dual exhaust design was to achieve greater exhaust flow verses a single exhaust...

Now the car has gone through a huge makeover and the main focus is drifting. (Different bumper, wheels, etc...)

the truth right there....i forgive the look of the front just for whats under the hood

It's just you! With the amount of power this beast is putting down I would drive without a bumper if I had to.

Every time I see that rear wing on a car that's completely modded body wise, I get the urge to buy one myself... It's bad.

The front bumper, it's meh. The car overall, it's WOW.

...and to increase cooling for the brakes

i like it

IS300TTRD · 03-04-2009, 09:32 AM

ive always loved this car. its BEAST!!!

Crester · 03-04-2009, 09:46 AM

Everything about the car is cool except that front bumper.

To the person that said it's about aero dynamics... does he expect the far edges of the bumper to generate downforce or something? This isn't an F1 car.

damn that things a beast....i like it!
