A sure-fire trick that boosts visual impact by 500 percent: if you want to stand out today, go with gullwing doors. The body color is not especially flashy, and it is not graphics that catch your eye. Apart from the gullwing doors, the styling is genuinely simple—yet the car still grabs attention. The spread of 'birds' in the sport-compact scene can no longer be stopped!
Captions and page details
A shining Lexus emblem! This JDM-style MR-S even has NOS installed. The Lexus emblem makes it look 'American' even though that exact combination did not exist. Whether or not they know it, the owner has given this MR-S a distinctively JDM touch with a Lexus badge!

…yes!
A carbon hood and carbon canards emphasize the car's sporty look. The canards are by APR.

A show-stopping combination: a flashy interior and NOS! The cockpit is painted yellow to tie it in with the body. An NOS bottle sits up front at the dashboard!

With the owner absent, the reason for the opening in the spoiler is a mystery. Is it just for visual impact?

Smoked taillights also give it a JDM look. Is the owner Japanese?

A pearl finish dresses up the wide, race-inspired body! The gullwing doors show their power when they open. While driving or parked, the key is a nearly stock-looking appearance.
Honda
A super-quick hatch with dramatic graphics, putting out 220 PS! The rear wing is by APR. Compact mirrors and a pair of canards are also from APR, giving it a sharp, aggressive feel.
This Altezza's wide body is painted in a vivid pearl shade, making it impossible to miss. The grille and emblems are all JDM-spec parts. Toyota Altezza.

The engine is a Japan-spec imported B16A! The trunk is packed with the hydraulic unit and related equipment, making it lively inside. The subwoofer is covered—perhaps practicality matters after all?
The front bumper, fenders, side skirts, and rear bumper are custom pieces based on TCS parts. The wheels are König.
Equipped with a T3/T4 turbo and NOS, it reliably puts out 220 PS. It is said to have appeared in a video from Rayboy magazine.
A dramatic flare hides the Altezza's rear!
But the car model is unknown.
The overfenders make a huge impact!
The busy trunk holds the hydraulic unit and related equipment. Covering the subwoofer may be a nod to practicality.
Pearl-and-yellow flares transform this round-headlight Integra. The front spoiler is designed for efficient cooling, and the naturally aspirated engine has been lightly modified.

Vehicle unidentified. It has an impressive list of modifications—hydraulics, audio, overfenders, and more—but we cannot identify the car itself! It looks a little like a Toyota, perhaps even a Korean model…
You can barely see it, but the taillights are actually Altezza units. The trunk space still fits together nicely, too!
