Well, the car is not nearly in as good condition as the photograph would imply. That one was taken some years prior to its current state. As you can see in the To-Do lists, the car has been damaged, and is still in need of repair work. This has given me the time and opportunity to try something new. I wanted to do something a bit different against the Drift-Spec this or Bosozoku that. I had seen a few attempts at a police car before, but never to this level. As for the wheels and suspension. The suspension will be staying but will be raised back up a bit. The wheels will change if I find something more appropriate. |

Trust the guy on this one, seriously  |

Cant you just fix it with zip ties and paint the wheels orange?
Thats what people do right?
Fill half the screen with stickers?
Would look AWSOME.
Or, do something different, something you want to do, to your car. Post about it on the most open minded car forum ever and not get grief about your choices in life.

I look forward to being pulled over by this so we can chat cars and I can get out of the ticket.
