G1GP - Ebisu - Style

This post is about syle and logos from the grassroots G1 GP held at ebisu circuit in Japan.

This is the level of drifting that puts good drivers in lesser cars, those who grew up with their cars, those without the super cash.

The paint on this one is awesome. masking is more like holding a sheet of paper.

Do-Ri-Ko. like a Japanese girls name .. KeiKO. YumiKO. Probably guess it's a girls car.

Skulls seem to be part of it and some flags to represent.


Some real stickers.


Some big ones. Cutting Sheets are the way to go.


Some applied with bubbles. But we all know drift cars don't require a refinement required of a luxury machine.


Some just for fun.

Some support their clubs.


Sometimes Japanese products have strange names that sound like insults.

BTW. Ponta is a rewards card. like a discount card.

Sometimes Japanese products are just funny.

Make a "C" shape with your left hand. And say the word's "Short Stroke"

Text reads "This new idea Produced a series of performance parts." "With COMRADE design."
?????

My brain says. If you don't know what it means. Don't write it on a sticker.

This one is straight forward. Even Japanese names are cool. Obihiro. What's that... It's cooler that some butchered english.

Home made.... no circuit made.

Yeah, What's Up!



Combination. Names Nationality perhaps Age?

Is this cool? Maybe just cut off the size and instructions first.




This reminds me of a conversation.

"We are thinking of colour matching the car to the Vinyl"... good idea.




Something pretty... flowers... ahhh.


5 Yen. Goen often means "good luck" in Japanese. This fender seems to be applied twice... was that bad luck.


Stolen or never replaced. now it's a feature. Gum residue stickers.

Bi-ri?  Beery? I don't know.

Hard to remove...

what does it take to make a badge like this... polish? neglect?

Cable Stiching.

Sometimes tape is just necessary.

Hmmm.

Painted tape. new style.

Where's the body?
