Dekotora

I once spent a very enjoyable month in Japan. During the trip I became increasingly fascinated by the wonderfully modded vehicles you would see in pretty much any major metropolis - low slung, tricked out and with plenty of body parts that seemed to focus on changing the silouette of the original vehicle.


As such it was with utter joy that I stumbled upon this photographic ode to the art that is Dekotora (love the way every niche activity in japan has it's own name). These folks take it one step further with spectacular results.


Can't imagine what it does to the efficiency and aerodynamics but I suppose that sort of practical thinking is most definitaly not the point...
