Why do you say that? The only questionable for me is the headlights and I even think the mirrors are ok despite not being true. The car is pretty much on par with what most japanese car fans would enjoy IMO. I'll also note that the ATL jap import/drift scene is HUGE and even so I dont know a single person in the surrounding jap car culture whom I'd call a 'purist' as so many bimmer guys are. Long store short, from my own experience and the general consensus of 240sx world, OE+bimmers=thewayitshouldbe... OE+japcars=doodoobrowninterior. IMHO.

Possibly the fixed gear with no brakes that appears to have no clips/clipless pedals and the wink mirror and the steelies...that said I still think it looks pretty badass played-out or not (besides the damn bike).

First of all, the fixie on the roof rack. While I love bikes and fixed gears, the whole trend of your fixie being an accessory on your car at a show needs to die in a fire. Especially one with no brakes and/or foot retention.

Second, the wheel fitment on that thing is SHIT. He's poking about an inch further out in the front than in the rear, along with negative camber in the front and almost none in the rear, and it's really not even that low. The only reason he's tucking tire is because he's got HUGE sidewalls, they're just stretched because it's on a narrow contact patch.

And the car doesn't even have any cool features to it. The fender mirrors are kinda cool, but beyond that, I don't see anything but a bone-stock Corolla wagon with wide steelies and a lowering.
