Saw this the other day on the net. Thought it was extremely clean looking.

And extremely stock looking, besides the wheels. Ever wonder why every time something looks clean, it looks stock?

Well, the real answer was because bodykits are more often than not bad fitting and bad looking, but I guess your answer works just as good.Because the japanese &%#$@*% rock?

The only body kits or accessories I like are ones that seem to fit the car's design, are basic and simple, and are functional. If the manufacturer has a performance wong, like Mugen, the parts just look fantastic on a car. Because they were designed specifically for that car. Besides that, most cars look best with the standard body parts.
I think that's the best tag I've ever seen.

I've always had my own philosophy towards the exterior modification of vehicles - The only 'improved' upgrades are those that only accentuate the original design; thus not wrecking the lines or flow of the car.
For example, aftermarket companies that create over-the-top bodykits such as that of Veilside's are never going to look good on regular vehicles. Rarely, does a aftermarket company these days creates a new bodykit without destroying the original look of the car.
C-West - Perhaps the most sexy GTR kit ever.
Or, the Matchless Crowd Racing GTR
As opposed to something that certainly stands out, but will never look good.

Bomex is EVERyWHERE. Or at least Bomex knock-offs. Garunteed to be at every car show there is, someone has put this kit on their car, and it looks horrible.
I would love to know which car this kit was orig. made for...

His car looks remarkably better with the Enkei's, over those Foose's.
He still needs to lose that stupid fake hood scoop, though.

Agreed. I would like to see something with alittle lip though, the chrome is a bit much.
As for the hood scoop,his car is made to look in the style of a 200ZR. Hence the hood scoop, and tbo front lip and spoiler.
This is Mr.K's or his son's 200zr:
The hood scoop is in place for the VG turbo on the Nevada guys' instead of on the side where the 200zr(rb20det) would be like on Mr.K's.(I believe..or he placed it wrong)

The car is beautiful, but the paint looks a little too flashy for a car as such. Why the need for paint like that when it will be chipped and scratched up at the track? (unless it's purely for show, which sucks anyways)

Neither of you understood what Troux meant by HDR, do you? HDR (High Dynamic Range) pictures bring out the full range of color in a photo. Meaning, it'll make a black paint job, like that on the Supra, extremely reflective (thus the appearance of black chrome). I guarantee you, it's not that reflective in real life.
^Edit: he beat me to it!
No, no, the effects in the pictures are a complicated process, that's the HDR I was talking about. It involves taking the same picture multiple times with different shutter speeds to pick up several different reflections and shadows, then a lot of photoshop work to bring them together. If any photography/PS experts are in here, PM me and I'll shoot you the HDR tutorial link I got. It's actually just a normal black car, and believe me, it gets its share of playtime:
The guy is from Sweden. Almost all Supras I've seen from Sweden have pictures of drifting and track racing. Apparently there are several tracks in that country that it's totally acceptable to just drive your car around whatever way you please, and there are always plenty of spectators standing around, and many others in line to take a lap. In the US it's either auto-x or small drifting in parking lots, but using actual courses for road racing is a little more expensive and involved, and drifting is a no-no.

From another member at Zdriver.com:
Man, this fella should take an hour of his evening one night and read a basic online photography tutorial. Just some basic pointers with composition and lighting will turn some seriously sub-par pictures of a cool car in a cool environment into a decent set of photographs.
A couple from a meet last summer at Titan:
What's with the lexan? Foglight housing?
Ya know what, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what that car's deal was. It was a full Top Secret widebody, which is more functional than the more popular, cheaper TRD widebody kit, and those openings on the car are there to act as brake cooling ducts. The guy had a completely stripped interior, I think only 1 seat, so I'm thinking, this must be a purebred racecar, right? Then he covers up the brake ducts, I assume for more aerodynamics, but doesn't seem worth it, and he's only running 275s on the back, same size as me! The main functional point of a widebody is so you can run a wider tire. He should be running 345s or wider! I just don't know...

Yeah, I've edited a few photos using some HDR methods. I have yet to try the same techniques with my new camera, but I'm not all that interested in HDR photography anyway. I think it actually detracts from car photography. A properly lit, well laid out car photo is much more appealing to me. I've been using Photoshop for over 5 years now, as well, and I still think some stock photos just don't need it.
