It's the exception that proves the rule in my mind. I wouldn't change it; it looks nicely done - if you're into that sort of thing. So long as it's got the 'go' to match; and with a 24v V6 it would have I guess, it's more than a chavved up special.

I would not change it either. It's obviously been done by someone with good taste, a perfectionist. And the ride height hasn't been modified either, a thing you so often see with tuned models: lowered suspension.
And another little detail: it's a non smoking vehicle, no one has ever smoked in it :D

Really? I guess I'm basing my view on dealing with cars imported form Japan in the early to mid-nineties...

I stand corrected.
