This is a badass build thread! Idk how you guys afford to drift on 245s, i also work at toyota and all i can find is crappy 215/45/17 bridestones. Good luck with this years events though.

my mom broke the back window out of my drift car with a shop vac.

so i made an indestructible 1/4 polycarbonate window replacement & riveted it in!

used a heat gun, local glass store, jigsaw plexiglass blade, drill bits & rivets, also some self tapping screws for originally mocking it up
