Surely social media has provided a platform of quantifying attention and cranked up all incentives to out-do one another (sometimes by what appears to be any means necessary), but is it really different than how the import scene used to be in the late 90's and early 2000's? Big wings, underglow, predator-esque front bumpers, etc. There seemed to be no limit to the ridiculousness that was built back then:


The ricer mods now have simply changed to bolt on flares the size of your front door and spoilers built with scaffolding

Anyway, as I was looking through car videos on YT, I came across this video which apparently is new(ish). Though it was pretty interesting and I though I'd share with you. Sorry for my video embedding noob skills

I can't imagine how much R34's will be when they are eligible for import into the US. If I can get a gig in Japan next year I definitely want to get one before they explode in value..I know they are already pretty expensive over there.
