D Car — July 2004

A car built for 2 Fast 2 Furious. To coincide with the release of “2 Fast 2 Furious,” West Japan built this EJ-7 for display at a movie theater. Its vinyl graphics make the movie-inspired styling unmistakable, with a lavish look as its defining feature. The striking body kit is a Wings West Avenger complete kit. The side design incorporates wing-like details and ducts that heighten the race-car feel, while the rear styling is also compelling. It is an ideal example for anyone thinking about a custom build.

The rear spoiler is matched by Wings West, with a 3D Design carbon GT wing. Euro tail lamps complete the rear section, giving it a distinctly race-inspired look.

The X-5 logo on the side really stands out!

A classic show-off look for the EJ-7

A subwoofer disguised as an NOS tank is installed behind the seats. Just having this tank changes the atmosphere, making it a good option even for people who think “NOS is a bit much.”

The front fenders were adapted from those for the Celica GT-Four. The homemade ducts add a sporty feel…
