Ok, so I had to start somewhere right?? Besides the tag is authentic-- It was on a 1995 Daihatsu van I drove around Osaka and registered to my job in Kobe (thats what the kanji says BTW) because I didn't have a parking space in my name at home (that's right-- if you own a car in Japan, a cop has to inspect the off-street space you'll park it before giving you a tag! there is no on-street parking in most places...)

I did hand make the license bracket for about $5 from parts I got at home depot, and pep boyz... so it counts as a true mod!
I'll have more mods (real ones!) coming soon! :P

Happy Birthday!

looks good
happy birthday as well!

jdm - yes.
vip - no.

looks good though.

i never knew JDM was in a scion

jdm=yes, VIP =no
I know. Its not VIP. But I am going VIP on the inside and getting a custom lexan table made from a fellow club member named Baine... he wants to perfect it though. I saw the prototype and it is T-Y-T-E!! I 'll add LEDs to mine and some custom etching. He said something about selling some on SL so stay tuned!
Really my whole feel for my box will be Tuner on the outside and VIP inside. I want the best of both worlds!

look at your doorjam on the driver's side door. Final assembly was Toyota City, Aichi, Japan. Thats JDM, except the fact that:
* we have our steering on the other side (left hand) of the car
* we have our shifter on the floor instead of steering column
* we have the option of a 5-speed (JDM only gets the slushbox)
* we get front buckets, Japan gets a bench seat up front
Those are major things. I showed my pix to my friends in Japan, they really thought I ordered one from Netz Toyota and shipped it here until I showed them the pix od the interior. Would be cool though if I had enough $ to get an open deck shipped here, dontcha think? :ponder: :wink:
