A few weeks ago, I got word from Hitachi USA/ Tokico Shocks that they wanted to use my car at the Tokico booth for SEMA 2008 in Las Vegas. It will run from Tuesday, November 4th to Friday November 7th. They will be taking the car on Monday the 3rd for setup. I will be flying in on Thursday night in time to party and attend the show on Friday. The car will also be joined by Stephen Papadakis' S2000 drift car. Stop by and say hello at the Tokico booth! Anyone else going?

A very big thank you to my sponsors: Tokico Shocks, Pioneer Electronics, Evo-R, TC Customs, Motul, Vertex USA, Turn 3 Creative, FiveAD Wheels, Quality Stereo, Performance Nissan, Mynismo.com, Yokohama Tires, Sparco, Stop Tech, In Style Graphics, LA Project Design, M1 Autobody


The car's graphics are inspired by Japan's best known artist- Katsushika Hokusai's "The Great Wave" woodblock painting.


Here are some pics from today... finally got the stereo installed and now it's ready for the show.

free car **** for using graphics=FTW

 

Congrats on SEMA man! Wish I was there!!!

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Yeah, it will be my first time there. I'm looking forward to what the aftermarket has in store for us next year.

The graphics scheme isn't for everyone, which is very understandable. But at the same time you can't go into an event like SEMA where manufacturers have their best of the best and get noticed with common elements. The most important thing is that I like it and my sponsors like it. Decals are the best way for me to thank my sponsors for helping me build the car.

 

Sums it up quite nicely!

 

Congrats! Take a bunch of pics while you are there!

 

hot car. but not diggin the eye lids.

Damm awsome graphic, love how it started it from bumper. But feel too much empty on rear and roof, humm maybe it's just me. But nice!
