Sweet ride!
I like it a lot... that kit really works for the looks of the car.
really nice engine mods too.

Looks absolutely amazing. Probably the first s12 that I can whole heartedly say that it looks fucking dope. IRS rear camber that isn't stupid negative, full suspension bits, cage, FJ, good looking exterior mods(and that says a lot for s13 stuff on an s12), and good paint. The only thing that makes me a little sad inside are the high offset wheels but at least they're spaced. Huge thumbs up to you man, it takes a lot for me to like a coupe this much. I'm sure this will make many owners look into attempting s13 aero themselves, I'll be waiting for pics of it with the front bumper on

You're car is the first s12 i've seen with an s13 kit and actually looks good. That's one nice ride.

*lol I just noticed. You can run 2 license plates in the rear now.

There is something about baller ass chrome wheels on a beat up, zip tied drift car that appeals to me. Not sure why

S12 look awesome! I want a pic with front end on and in good quality - for the desktop.

I think it might be because they make bling ass wheels become functional

oh shit that poor seven, I do like those wheels though... lol When it comes to a drift car I like the look of big offsets and stretched tires. That body kit and color gotta go though. Rear bumpers should never look like they could cut off your leg if your too close....
