WTF ???...Does this look right to you guys, or is it a Stuff up??

Just been working on the new project and i've just seen this that i never picked up on when looking at the decals the first time....is this a cock-up or are they meant to be like this ??
Seems stupid to me if they go on one side of the kit the "wrong-way" around

Exclamation No mistake!

Sometimes the graphics on Japanese tuned cars are reversed like like that on the real car. They do that on purpose sometimes but don't ask me why. I've noticed that alot when seeing JDM-tuned cars in SuperStreet magazine. HTH!

What part of the car does it go on? Sometimes cars have reversed graphic so people can read it when they see it in their rear view mirrors

Lots of Jap tuners do that...



Dunno why... One of your door logo columns is backwards, too.

Maybe they put a mirror on the opposite side of the speedway?

BTW, I like how they give you all the numbers to make your own Japanese license plates!

Also, anyone know what the wheels in that kit are? :sun:

Hmm...maybe when the car is sideways in the corner drifting behind you, you know who to go to for your next tuner upgrade!

I'd rather get tuned by the guy who tuned the car ahead of me...

They have the graphics reverse because they want the logo design to always face one direction.

Like the C-West car that Jay posted. If for the right side, the C-West logo was not reverse, the black slash running up from the fender would look weird.
