This is a sweet car, so I figured that since I have not seen a post on it I would let you have a look for your self. Daunt, What would it take in funds to get that Hp out of an SR20? what would be your cost? To produce for us ppl with nothing else to spend cash on than Big hp numbers?

I like the "bronze rims" actually. The only thing I dont like is the Jun graphic (oh well....its Jun's car),front splitter, and excessive hood pins. Why would you chrome-dip racing rims? BTW....where are you gonna get your S15.

It's a project car by JUN, they have more funds and resources than any regular consumer.

I'm willing to bet the 'excessive' hood pins are there to keep the hood from buckling at high speeds. My friend was having this problem with his RX7.

Those wheels are beautiful...and if that ain't race style, then I don't know what is.

Chrome plate... Bling.. Blah blah blah....

It's jun's signature color though. Every tuner's got their own color scheme which they use on most of their cars, Jun/yellow, Signal/orange pearl, Blitz/silver, Apexi/white&red, Veilside/ white, and so forth. There is not a damn thing wrong with that S15.

Gold rims caught on for a good reason, they're hot, surely a hell of a lot hotter than chrome. As for the stickers and the wing, if you were a tuner who built a kickass car which used a plethora of parts you manufactured, I'm sure you'd want people to know it. And that car is fast enough to make that wing functional.

It just got played out. There was a period when I'd go to a car show and every other car was yellow, and the other cars had that stupid "chameleon" paint scheme, pure rice I tell ya......

don't forget siganl's midnight purple adn maziora andromedia. i still think that that particular s15 should've had the sr22 instead of the orginal sr20 not too mench'n that lemon and green head...yeah jun makes some strong *** cars but their colour scheme is uck

Dude if I had a car with cojones like that I wouldn't care if it was hot pink ( Yashio Factory actually used that on a sweet s15 they built).

The only yellow car that I saw in the Fast & Furious was the yellow Skyline. I didn't see any other yellow car. There are a lot of black and white cars also.....doesn't mean its played out.

I don't think they had a special name for it, when I read the article about that S15 they just referred to it as candy orange. I personally wouldn't put it on my car, but I do think it's beautiful.

i like the orange too. and i know the skyline was the only yellow car. also in that mix of "great" colours was the orange supra and green eclipse. its the mixed reviews people been calling it: lambo orange, ferrari yellow, and god knows what green. ( i know that there are green colour cars but just keep wit me)

im sorry if i offended any1 with my OPINION?!? instead of weighin my car down with chrome rims then i would get the lighter racin rims dipped in chrome(what can i say, girls love chrome wheels), i personally dont like gold rims on any car, and i dont like really bright colors on a car so i wold paint it black cuz i think almost any car looks good in black(i said almost)...i guess i was thinkin alongs the lines of me ownin the car so i wouldnt be high speed racin so i wouldnt need the spoiler. like i said sorry for soundin offensive, i wasnt sayin wut the car should be, i was sayin how i would like the car(opinion), oh yeah and sorry bout the late resonse ive been busy the last 2 days.

Dude, I don't think anyone was offended, thats your opionion and its cool, just everyone else was stating their opinions. I gotta agree with you , black goes with everything. Unfortunately, I don't think chrome does though.......
