    No kidding. I just threw up. That must be the DLCJ (******bag Lambo Club Japan). They really know how to compensate for their little hot dogs.

    The Japanese have long had an affinity for "over the top" styling. While it's not my cup of tea (I'm not into SoCal lowriders either), I can appreciate their passion for the car hobby. The cars belong to them, no harm done.

    What a glorious display of a total lack of taste! What is amazing that they all found each other. Perhaps on reflection it wasn't too difficult!

    I can't believe I watched that whole video, just waiting to see some hot, half dressed chicks that ricers usually have.

    They say that they are driving the Lambos on racetracks and want the cars to look like racecars, but i have never seen a racecar loaded with all that **** inside or outside of the car. I dont know, maybe in some computer game Lambos look like this?

    No real engine shots, apart from maybe one... I half expected to see a 2JZ. I don't even think a Diablo could do 210mph

    Not defending this but other cultures see things differently, Would you eat a dog? some cultures would. Would you paint yourself with coloured mud? some cultures think this is very tastefull.
    Just saying differences do occur from culture to culture and we should not put people down if it is not "our thing"

    The thing I find interesting is how old the owners are who are driving a car like that. Given their desire to personalize their cars I the older guy at 4:00 did his with a degree of class.

    Its Japanese style ...having lived there I understand it ...

    These cars are over the top so the styling goes along with it ...

    For centuries Japanese culture was marked by the suppression of the individual. So with the economic transformation that occurred after 1945, cultural liberalization has been sure to follow. The over the top self expression is beginning to show in China. Again a country with the strong repression of the individual. As for the Lamborghini's shown, I did not see one addition that could not be removed by the next owner.

    I really enjoy this video,

    I enjoy people with passion and curage to do something differrent.
    They enjoy their cars, let them do so without someone else judging them

    As a comparsion, when I see the different "US homestyling" treads I think "oboy.... the americans still live in the 50:ties and 60:ties, tasteless, old and completelly out of style according to mine european eyes, but thats what it is, no problems with that., To write, "i feel sick" is shameless with no respect for other cultures, typical american behavior, so..... am I banned ?

    ....................................................Although i have not yet attempted to do a top speed run, it feels like my Diablo could easily do 200 mph , so they are sincere with thier statements , I like the Blue one .

    As one who has lived in that part of the world, and being kinda crazy myself, I think those guys did a super job with their cars. Like one person said, nothing they did could not be undone. I do see the typical American thinking in a lot of the posts. That is an American problem. For the most part, maybe 80 ++ percent of the people here have never been to another part of the world, and most never will. They have the idea that Americans are the center of the world, BIG MISTAKE. Another thing, a lot of them that post here have no clue how to work on their own car, and could not even begin to do what those guys did. They have money but no creativity, they can buy, but that is about it.
    The people here will just die when the see what I am doing to my Countach. Then again it IS MY car.
