*sigh*
it's not a "JDM heart" and it's not any sort of "mad tyte JDM" or "JDM as ***k" type thing that ignorant masses out there promote

however, your ignorance has accidentally worked in favour for you... this symbol is a butterfly, the JDM equivalent of a P plater... it's called a Shoshinsha mark

there is another kind of symbol reserved for old people in Japan... I doubt anyone here is old enough to need it

Alright time to get back to doing my build thread!

I bought Hammo's autoexe grille replica with CF wrap on it at THE-LOWDOWN Showcased. Looks better than the stock grille i think, thanks Hammo!

thanks man!
yeah im looking into XXR 530's, but wanting offset so I need to chuck in some coil overs first.
My mates brother did it for me for $10, if you give me a fuel cap some how he can print it off and put it on, or I can see if he can just print one off?

looks like in about two weeks Benny will be doing my calipers red for me, because the original owner painted them like a browny yellow colour and half of that has peeled off.

Also purchasing rear speakers and an amp of Benny too!

He sure does like to make me broke

Bit of an update, seeing as not much happens on my build thread.

Should be getting BC RC coilovers with a camber kit soon. Then once they are in I'll hopefully get my new rims asap! REALLY keen on getting XXR 530's, with about +35mm offset to hopefully make her flush :3

Wanting to also paint the rims, I'm really set on the colour light blue, because before I bought my SP20, I was looking for Mazda 3's and found a photo of one in Europe that had light blue rims and the car was white, and when I bought my SP20 eventually I thought that would look mad on mine, so yeah!

Any suggestions?

Yeah I have but I have XXR 530's coming soon from another AGT member, need his coil overs first though because the back is too low on my springs.

The grill will only go if i get a real one lol, when i do come to sell in years to come i'll see if you still need it lol
