Yeah, I was thinking to say that. It's missing the butchered aero and neon colors to be true Bosozoku. But I held back from commenting because I realized there are no set rules to follow in customization. He isn't doing an all-out Bosozoku build but adding a touch of Bosozoku-inspired flair. Bosozoku evokes an emotion of ridiculousness which has some cohesion with what his setup already does. But stuff that sticks out like that don't flow; instead of letting it "grow" on you they tend to grow into an eyesore. Pure Bosozoku or even a little touch of it will look off regardless of hellaflush because Bosozoku inherently looks off.

What is the "TC" you're referring to? Scion tC?

For those who need a graphical example of Bosozoku:

My god man.
Don't think I could assemble as many haters in one place if I tried.
Not understanding why the pipe would be more of a hazard than side pipes.
And I thought the tow hook was bosozoku too? So that would be two bosozoku elements, not just one.
You planning on bolting/molding on fenders at any point SLICVIC?

haters, haters everywhere

thanks man , im not sure alot of people bought the rocket bunny so its getting kinda played, plus all of my set ups rub the fenders all around lol to me it just isnt aggressive if it doesnt rub - being that, fiberglass fenders would be no good.

Well, that escalated quickly.

[1] [2] [3]
Those are average people. What about the blind, service dogs, seniors, small children, etc.? D: Meh... who cares about them and the trolling hater (me).

I'm laying relevant facts for people to consider. No need to confuse it as hate/trolling and get offended. No need to escalate it quickly. Since when does keeping it real deserve to be hated on? Since when is it wrong to post relevant facts on a forum? Geez...




Oh, and free bump.
