So seeing a JDM GT86 converted to a FR-S doesn't surprise me one bit.

This has to be the funniest thing I've ever heard of. I demand more!

Reminds me of how Japanese were wishing they had the Civic coupe in the Japan while posters in the US were lamenting why we didn't get the JDM front end. Grass is greener.

Oh and for the lowrider fashion lols, here's some hardcore dudes. Probably the only Japanese guy with the tattoo "loco" emblazoned across his chest =)

With all these wild crazy badging ideas I might as well re-badge mine to the Intel logo!

Some people want to watch the world burn

I remember a local Japanese importer bringing back Subaru 2.5RS badges and even a few LS series engines because they were all the rage in Japan LOL. I imagine he paid quite a bit for them in Japan, and I bet he had to take a loss to sell them here. I guess we always want what we can't get right? haha.

Thanks,
Rick

I think I'm the only one that finds the fact both cars have font plates (CA ones at that) in the ad funny. I don't think I've ever seen a front plate for a car ad over here, even in CA where it's required.

They're emphasizing the American-ness of the car.
