@Erik Wilson:

Unfortunately I have to disagree with you. At SEMA older platform are always on display. Last year I spotted few Miata's.....and Honda Element and even a Matrix.

The Nissan S platforms for instance (S13, RPS13, S14, S15) have made such a BIG impact in the tuning scene with the drifting landing on our shores......it's not even funny.....boring I may say. People can't drift anything else? Or is it the lack of think-outside-the-box attitude?

How many people drift (competitively) a Mercedes ? None ! It's a FR layout.....what's wrong with that? Than there are big corporate dumping $$$ into GT-R's where there are many other choices out there.

I hate to stereotype, but most of time I see a Nissan S13 (beat up of course), it's always a Takumi-wanna-be that drives it.

What I'm trying to say is, it would be awesome if people stop following the trend and think with their own head instead, and bring something FRESHESS to this scene, which is much needed. SEMA, drifting.....whatever; just think with your own head.

It was great to see all of these cars in person! What's up with the extremely poorly done graphic installation done on both bulletproof automotive cars? I'm sure the owners paid a grip for the design - which im not too fond of. The vinyl was a mess -- bubbles, swirl marks and scratches! Definitely not up to par for the car and to be at prime locations @ SEMA. I even brought it up to the owners that the vinyl was taking away from the awesomeness of the cars. But up close it looked like a hot mess. The owners said “it was last minute” – I can recommend you to a handful of installers who could have gotten the job done right the night before. Just during my time standing there every comment I heard was about the graphics about either how they didn’t like the design or how shitty of an install it was. Both Bulletproof cars were dope and once all the vinyl comes off I’m sure those 2 cars will be at the top of everyones list!

Notice on the Vivid R35 there are BMW, Ferrari, and Porsche logos with slashes through them what a nice touch =] I do love that Mine's Skyline! And who ever let Dub get ahold of a R35 should be immediately kicked in the nuts...

That DUB GTR.... makes me sick... what a waste... the one above that is gawd awful too.....

Mine's in my fav GTR here .... (much to the consensus of everyone elese).

However Im not a fan of black wheels on white... I think some white TE37's would look much better.

Thanks guys. By the way the car with the Signal sticker is another car I was involved with. It's John's car and it was on display at the iForged wheels booth. FYI, I had nothing to do with the 22" rims....I did however supply the Amuse suspension, Amuse front diffuser, full Titan Amuse exhaust and the Amuse dry carbon wing for that car. The 22"s are just for show, the owner actually tracks his car heavily and he has 3 sets of OEM rims/tires for track days.

Sorry many of you guys arent feeling Mana-Ps graphics on my main two demo cars. I still love Mana-P's designs, but if you're judging it as a discreet understated street car then I understand that a stickered up show/race car wouldnt be the right look for your tastes. Our "street" image car is the car that we did with Jonathan (installation of parts by Z-Car garage). (actually Bulletproof is the official title sponsor of that car but Z-Car Garage does indeed get major props for the install under tough time pressure!).

I think most of those are pretty distasteful, the mines one though was very nice and the axis car would look awsome if it was black

Alex:

SEMA is always full of the "new" car. Usually it is to show off a new car and the newest of parts available for it. Older platforms usually aren't being developed or if they are it is at a much slower pace so companies don't bring them out. As an MR-S owner I would love to see one at SEMA but now that it has been out of production for 4 years I don't think we will ever see it.

I'm a little disappointed at what they did with the GT-R. First of all, who ever thought it was a good idea for a GT-R rolling on DUBS? It looks seriously awkward and out of place. Vivid Racing also made mess out of the GT-R and is just done distastefully. Both of the Bulletproof Automotive do look nice, but I have to go for the Axis Wheels GT-R. They look the most striking and looks what it made for, to be driven.

Of course, none of these will ever come close as their Japanese counterparts.....

As far as the less tastefully cars are concerned, understand that the GTR now belongs to an echelon of cars that appeal to those who aspire to have an expensive car period, performance capabilities be damned. If the name had a little more "panache" to it, I'm sure we'd be hearing about it in a hip-hop song or two. I will however add, that the GTR equipped with the Wald kit does a fair job of appealing to both "Show" and "GO!" camps.

What the heck were they thinking at vivd racing...that thing just looks awful.

I thought the Mines, Mightnight purple Bulletproof (minus the graphics of course, haha), Zele and Z Car Garage cars were pretty amazing.

I would say the midnight purple one without a doubt. What isn't to love about the sexiest limited edition color for R34's on an R35!!!

re: USER RANKING>> SEMA R35'S

Alex — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 09:16:05 GMT

Does SEMA (or any other tuning show) revolve around the new GT-R? How about ALL the other sports sports cars? No I'm not talking about the new EVO or the new STi......how about the Toyota MR-S? Lotus Exige? Golf R32?.....350Z?......S2000?.....Civic Type R?.....I can go on and on....
