Pimp my Ride: Japan style

This is  one of the funniest things to me about their strict adhere-to-the-norm culture.

Cars and their modifications very likely started with the yakuza and somewhere along the way some more degenerates picked it up, and now it is not entirely uncommon to see a car or two all kinds of crazy looking. The primary format of disrupting the norm are the humongous decals that take up the entire body of the car. I know when I walk to work, there lives somewhere around here a giant purple dragon that come zooming right along with extra loud and noisy diesel engines. But another popular offender is that large anime character prints on the sides of cars. With these two it pretty much makes the tops of mini coopers seem normal. 

not my brothers room...

Getting to second base is like seeing the cars with the low lights, or for that matter, lights of any kind adorning their car. These are less common, but where you find one, you might just find another, it is like they travel in packs. You know those party lights that you always get for your dorm and think will be 'OMG so cool' and then kind of come to regret later and thing now what do I do with these; well the Japanese have answered your question. I feel like that is the exact kind of light they use, but then again I am no pro, or even mildly interested in the matter of adorning things with lights. More than likely they are some LED variety. 

And finally if those things just are not good enough for you, you can always go and get a foreign car (like a Chevy) and make sure its an older version, and proceed to pimp the loving exhaust functions out of that piece. I am talking rims, wheels, hydraulics and it all. And then, even then, it may not just be enough, you might not just be there yet, just you know, almost...but not. And therefore, you have no other choice, but a full body modification. I am talking about colors, and spoilers, and demon hoods with holes and horns in them, piping leading to nowhere with no function. And then, only then, might you feel some sort of small complete satisfaction that you have in fact pimped your car all that you can. 

You are now driving the oldest gold Oldsmobile your money could possibly find, it had tiger stripes down the side and the weirdest lightening spoiler that was custom made just for this piece and it is sporting some yellow lighting in strategic places along the sides of the car and the top of the spoiler or more like giant antennae, and upon you hood, you hood is on giant decal with the very face of Japans symbol, a much larger than life Pikacchu. Congratulations. You have in fact caught them all. 

That purple beast over there, she's a beaut right?

awwwa yeah nothing will score you some ladies quicker.
