Congratulations!! I entered the Toyo Tire contest too Happy for you man. Keep the car as it is, look after it - it's bound to become a great investment if you look after it.

Incorrect. This is not a car used in filming. First off, those cars were all JDM imports with RHD, meaning they are not legal to drive on the street here. Second, the car in the movie had a wide body kit on it with an Evo VIII nose (why I dont know) and that car does not have the Evo VIII 'beak'.

Its a promo car they stickered up to look like the movie vehicles. Id keep it as is though, as many others have mentioned this might be worth money some day. Just be glad its not a promo vehicle from F&F2, that Evo was an awful yellow/green color, . I also must say you seem like a humble person and sound very deserving of your winning.

thanks guys i do plan on some mods but for the most part i think it will be garaged more than anything else. i've never owned a new car for myself before and this is like my third child . i like to keep it clean with more than enough muscle to impress when needed.
