Thats the Tein display car they had out at SEMA, those wheels on it are Enkei RP01s, I really like them, theyre not too heavy for cast 18's and are only $200 from here http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?w...heelmodel=RP01

Question

Whats with the chicks w/ the umbrellas. Is it supposed to be sexy?

It may be some kind of japanese culture (or fetish) I don't understand -- someone please enlighten me.

I love to enlighten! Yes, the Japanese models at the SEMA show are a breed apart from the typical slutted-out booth hootchie. The umbrellas are because in Japan most of the girls modeling with cars are the same umbrella girls on the race tracks providing shade to the racers on the track while they sit on theyre bikes in full leathers in the sun. Many of these girls get their own fan followings and become mini celebrities. And though typically not the hottest chicks at the show, the Japanese girls are always the nicest and will put up with your **** forever and smile and giggle alot

...as stated, it's not a Paint Job, just a Decal scheme. This is the same Scheme that TEIN uses on all of their company cars (ie. their DC5 Type R, WRX, etc)...

that is so funny! also, it is an asian female cultural thing that being FAIR is better than being TAN. it may not be true with younger asian-americans in the U.S., but i just know that whitening products bring in a lot of $$ in asia. so everybody stays out of the sun, uses SPF, and lightens their age spots.

i think it has to do with the whole "only peasant workers work in the field and get brown" thing. plus it causes wrinkles earlier.

Thumbs up chick with umbrella

Is the "chick with umbrella" option available in the U.S. ? If so how much is it and can I order it through the Nissan dealership?

i think you're right bonz,
this poor peasant girl has a ring in HER belly button, and i don't think the aristocrats would stoop to having any sort of rings

hey, hyundai girl is pretty cute!

krinkov, how many pics from these shows do you have? you're always posting them! (i'm not complaining)
