    It's all a matter of preference. If I had the money to ball, my car would be on the floor with a Rieger and some nice side skirts. But too many things are in the to do list beforehand.

    The shitty bodykits are self-explanatory... front bumper aside (which takes the most hits), everything else is usually fiberglass because it'll most likely remain in one piece... the front would usually be some sort of flexible plastic or something. Personally I liked the styling of most cars there... but again... preference.

    Remember, drifting is not a timed event... it's based on judging and how much of a show you put... and as much as people deny it... having a car that looks and follows a certain style matters (even if slightly)

        I'd think that a car that was styled differently would stand out. I mean, all those cars with the same polygon-styled skirts and gaudy front bumper barely hanging on... it gets old. Your car stands out because it's clean and looks buisness, not like it got lost on the way to walmart.

        Hell, throw a roofrack and some mudflaps on that bitch, at least it won't look like the dozen kitted preludes I see sputtering around town everyday.

                Thanks for the props guys. Shooting drifting is fun, especially with guys as good as these! Erick was rocking out, and the damage to his car is not nearly as bad as it looks. Fix the crack in the bumper, replace the fender and grill and it'll be good again.

                    By the way guys, there was a competition hosted on that event and I crashed on my first of two qualifying runs. Since I only had one run (and the accident was past the judging section of the course), I placed 4th overall.

                    That podium finish is getting closer!!

                                I love the dirt you kicked up at the 1:04 mark. Nice!

                                Those guys standing at the tire wall are just begging for a Darwin award.
