I was walking around the Tokyo Auto Salon today (press day) with Roland from Pi UK and I kind of got bored of the cars. There was definitely some cool shit, but I think I am jaded overall. There just aren’t enough hardcore engine parts, dope looking big turbo engines, and buff ass BNR32/BCNR33/BNR34 GT-Rs anymore. I guess that was the TAS of about 10 years ago. Anyhow, I saw a near stock R35 GT-R and I was thinking to myself, “Jeez, I am so fucking bored of seeing stock R35s at shows, in mags, at meets and everywhere else, that I should do the R35 owning public a small favor and post up some R35 aero parts so I can stop looking at stock R35s.” So, here’s a quick and dirty aero parts buyer’s guide. Don’t be like an EVO owner at Mitsubishi Owner’s Day and bring a stock EVO. I have absolutely no idea why there are so many stock EVOs at MOD. I saw a stock EVO back in 2002. Why are you still showing me your stock EVO in 2009? If it’s stock, there’s no need to show your car: WE KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ALREADY!!! This includes you R35 owners: go ahead and show some smokin hot chick your stock R35, but don’t show us car guys because we don’t give a shit. If you want to show your R35, do yourself a favor and give Ben a call at Bespoke.

Kei car R35 conversion. This one is the best.

It looks like to me with some careful mixing and matching, you can build a pretty good looking R35. I hope people start doing it soon though. We’re bored.
