Show car with low-rider technique

“Yu” pursues a new style based on the Daihatsu Mira e:S. The pinstripes casually placed on the hood, silver foil leaves on the fenders, and tribal graphics leading from the pinstripes to the rear of the car are all lowrider touches. The customization was innovative and cool in a different way from the royal dress-up and was full of originality.

Completing the powerful Obafen style

The overall form of “Yu”‘s Daihatsu Mira e:S was transformed into a sturdy style by installing over fenders. The fenders, which protrude 5cm from the front and 10cm from the rear, are shaped with enlarged fender arches for a more compact and powerful appearance. In addition, the added eye lines on the headlights give the gentle front face of the Mira e:S a fiercer appearance.

As for the exterior parts, the front bumper is based on a CS-made bumper with modified ducts and lip. The side steps and rear bumper are both selected from CS.

The body is produced in a combination of candy red and white at points. The wheels are SUPER STAR Chevron Racing wheels with a white mesh design for a crisp look. The lowered style, so that the wheel rims are covered, was created by the air suspension made by BOLD WORLD. When driving the car, the driver has the car set back to a ride height that does not hit the underbelly.

Audio car full of fascinating elements

This Mira e:S was also built as an attractive custom audio car. While recent custom audio cars tend to reduce the seating capacity and go in the direction of aggressive glamour, “Yu” left the rear seats in place and set up the audio system without changing the seating capacity.

The audio system is his pride and joy.

The audio system, which is his pride and joy, is mounted in a dedicated box in the trunk. A tank for the air suspension system is set above the audio board, which also has a pinstripe painted on it as an “attractive” element.

Elegant diamond stitching is applied throughout

The interior has been completely reupholstered, and LED hall lights and other light fixtures have been installed inside the doors. The steering wheel is coordinated in the same color as the interior and has his name embroidered on it.

The seats and upholstery have been reupholstered.

The seats and upholstery are two-tone brown. The floor and mats are black, aiming for a tightening effect. Yu, who likes diamond patterns, applied camel-colored diamond stitches on the seats, roof, door panels, and part of the console.

Yu” has boldly customized his Mira e:S as a show car, but we especially note the customization that emphasizes practicality, leaving the rear seats in place. He kept the good points of the factory unit and added the missing parts to make it look more practical. Yoo” was enjoying this kind of customization.
