The veteren drifters running around my area of Japan usually go for a more mild look. Body kits are subdued if at all, except for a vent in the headlight usually used for cold induction, and a pretty good sized CF wing on the trunk. Wheels are usually mesh or 5 stars measuring from 13"-18" depending on the car. Truenos on the low side and Silvias/GTS-t on the higher end. Some of the guys will run with stickers, not a lot of flash, just the basics, but most try to keep the subdued look.
For the true "new to drifting" Japanese look, you'll need different wheels front to back. The lower priced (ie:stock)wheels are normally bolted on the back. Along with that, put some scrapes on the front and back bumpers and maybe have one held on with zipties then covered with duct tape. Probably won't do that with a FD3S as the beginning drifters start with S-13s or 14s or another of the low priced RWD cars. |

Re: "drift style" FD, suggestions
Sandrunner is right one the money with what he posted. But its also depends if you are going for a D1 style car, or a street drifter style.
