So I was watching some ancient DVDs last night. Grip Video, anyone remember them?

One segment caught my eye in particular. The crew was in Nippon-land and met with the infamous Sexy Knights team. Checked out their shop, body kits and did some midnight street drifting.

That's when it dawned on me. All these Japanese groups, race teams, street crews, tuning shops and big-part slingers all designed and ran their own body work.

Sure, not all of them are good (cough: veilside) but they all brought something to make their group stand out.

In the U.S. we don't have that. Sure, we have lots of body shops popping out reps, lots of cool teams/crews running said rep body kits but there really is nothing unique.

There is no Falken V3 Kit, no Dorki-Style, Heavy Throttle GT or whatever.

Am I wrong? What do you guys think.
