I'll take the black front end but only if it comes with a little red light going back and forth like KITT. It has to make the sound too.

pretty dope...I don't like the pinstriping either, but its sorta a popular thing in japan to incorperate "american" stuff. Its weird if you think about it. People in the states want JDM. While companys like MotoRex export old mustangs and stuff like that to Japan...

Thats it in a nut shell, they want what we have, and we want what they have. Nothing says Americana like hot dogs, apple pie, and pin striping.

Default Too Much

There is such a thing as TOO Much pinstriping. The Boyds are very 90's BayWatch Hot Rod (remember, Baywatch is Number One in Japan). Dig the right hand drive. They should order a lefty if they want that real American Style.

i am taking this as it is owned and showed in japan, so IMO this is what japan thinks everyone does to their car,(overdoing it) if you go to the japanese car enthusiast sites most of the cars are suttle, not to much as far as looks, or everything flows well with the car. japan focuses mostly on performance and areodynamics(i mean REAL areodynamics, in japan they build bodykits and test them in a wind tunnel, if the body kit is not functional they usually do not sell it)

i think they were just showing off the fact that americans hit every aspect of the car for shows.
