So you think your local car club has some bizarre creations, do you? Wait until you take a gander at the parade of modded cars in two videos that follow after the break.
If the findings of our basic research on the subject are right (if not, leave a comment and we’ll make a correction), these strangely modified vehicles filmed on the occasion of last weekend’s 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon are named “bōsōzoku style” and belong to a Japanese subculture with roots to motorcycle clubs and gangs.
Typical styling traits include over-sized spoilers, exhaust pipes and fenders along with vivid paint jobs, with the cars kind of looking like they popped straight out of a manga cartoon.
