This is the reason why the cars are currently undergoing the body work. They will look completely different when they are done.

I look at the cars and dread that i ever put those kits on in the first place.

Of course living out in Albuquerque we don't see most of the cool stuff you guys get in Cali.

Thanks For updating us Modified.

We will keep on drifting too as long as we are having Fun.
Heres a clip of our fun at our track

youre on the internet now arent you? thats no excuse. who do you guys have do your body work? cuz they look like a half a$$ shop to me. in that one pic where theyre sanding the body they got paint and stuff all over that rim and then on the other side they cover it up? anyway hope you use the the net and find a better kit. sorry if this wasnt positive... just my 2 cents

Ya I am on the internet but knowing what to look for is another thing.
The people at Modified are not half a$$ so in that I am confident all will be well.

Yo guys, stoked that your gonna be out here for a great Land Ho event.

and to this guy -

"who do you guys have do your body work? cuz they look like a half a$$ shop to me. in that one pic where theyre sanding the body they got paint and stuff all over that rim and then on the other side they cover it up? "

Just because your sig says your from okinawa doesn't mean you have ever worked in a body shop. BTW thats not paint on the wheels, it is the water drips from the fender when you are wet sanding it. All that stuff comes off with a towel. AND YOU ARE LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT CARS (one is red, one is white!!!) Since I have worked at a body shop I hope my 2 cents are worth more than yours.

You know what, I kind of blame magazines like super street/import tuner for always having ads for crappy kits like erebuni crapola. I've been looking at mags for years and you ALWAYS see a big 2 page ad for crappy kits. I think if you aren't scouring the internet for information thats where you will probably look for places to buy kits. I almost feel like magazines have a duty to have ads from good product companies, not just anyone that will put up money.

You pick up Japanese tuner mags and they have nothing but sick kits/rims. Of course that not fair cause all the really sick stuff is in Japan but what can you do. Maybe its more the manufacturer's fault for not trying to advertise in the US more.

Anyways it looks like you guys are moving in the right direction aero wise so keep it up. No more kissing walls on the first date.

hey bro i wasnt knocking his kit i was just saying that being in NM wasnt an excuse for having a crap kit. but since you brought it up... those garbage kits they advertise in mags why would you want to put crap on your car? id leave it stock than put some kit on my car just cuz it was the only thing i could get. i blame the consumer not the manufacturers... because if people didnt actually buy that stuff they wouldnt make it. as for stuff in japan being better...yea it is

I personally hate those kits which is why I stated my dislike for them. I suppose can see people who have fender benders wanting to do an "upgrade" installing a kit instead of oem. Or hell maybe people play too much nfsu too much haha.

I think people buy what they know about and can reasonably afford.

Most of the kits made, when I was looking into kits, were designed for hatchback 240's. I saw the veilside car with the kit on it and thought it would be good. Of course, I take all the blame for not looking deeper into it and it is a consumer problem for buying a cheap kit.

It did'nt look to bad before drifting got ahold of it.
