Beautiful FD3S

Pushing over 430HP thanks to the Aspec 500R Turbo Kit and many other things, this FD will definitely put a smile on your face. What’s even better is that the car belongs to Karissa, who happens to be an awesome photographer as well. That’s right, this girls car will give many of you guys run for your money. Fitment seems to be there as well thanks to the fresh set of kicks, Do-Luck Double Sixes in 18×10.5 +19 all around. It’s safe to say that this is one awesome rotary. Great job Karissa!

Much love & respect to this hot ride & 400+ HP=WIN. She knows what she's doing. ;)

I'm guessing she had leaves near the exhaust/rear end, and revved the car hard and snapped the pic at the right moment. Love FD's, they have such a timeless/classic look.

@Chris: ricey? you must be smoking crack. Awesome looking car. Pictures are great!

That front number is hot. The rear shot is money.

To say she revved the car and took the pic would be ridiculous, lol although im sure thats what the look is emulating. She probably took a pic with no leaves, and then dropped leaves infront of the camera and then made a composite picture.

@Danny I don't think Chris is off. The front bumper is ricey and the rims are less than appealing on an FD. I'm too much of a purist when it comes to rotaries so mine stays light and devoid of sound systems and things like that. Despite that, I'd say she's off to a good start. I like that she focused on the performance and kept the body mostly stock. I'm sure the car will get nicer as she goes along.

I don't think it's because of the exhaust that caused the leaves since the exhaust is angled to the other way. It could be composite or she used timer and fast shutter speed, cuz leaves don't fall down quickly, thus gave her the time to throw the leaves in the air and the camere to take picture right before the nearest leaves to the car touches the ground. Surely something that need to be done more than once to get a nice result as this one :)

Love everything but the wing, if your pullin off the clean street look better to keep it simple, btw du-luck wheels look damn good (although i woulda shoved some race wheels under those fenders)

Thanks everyone for all the comments! I took this photo to see how the do-lucks looked on my FD, I'm just trying them out at the moment and knew some changed would be done. Ordering a shine lip spoiler and changing the front bumper once I decide on one that I like. I've been an audio installer for several years so having the system was great to display new product. I love a good sounding system for long drives, and on a sunny day a loud turbo like the aspec 500r :) for the 3rd shot: AB800's were fired on each side of the car, several shots were taken of leaves falling, then merged and post processing was done via cs5. <<<
