my thoughts exactly, car looks awesome

the first photos are done using the painting technique. they're just really high exposure and then slowly lit with a single light source.

i imported it from japan when i was living in aus. it's always been RHD. japanese imports ran rampant for a while until they tightened the rules around 4 years ago. now only certain low volume models can come in.

That's very cool, even cooler that you got to take it back to it's motherland. :thumbup:
