Most of us were shocked when we heard the news of the tragic passing of Paul Walker. Paul Walker was best known for his role as “Brian O’Conner” in the Fast & Furious series. As car enthusiasts, these films defined and shaped the import automotive community. Some of the films may have had some corny elements to them, but seeing our passion on the silver screen over the last 10 years was something we all were excited about. The reaction and love given to Paul and his family has been unbelievable. It’s sad that only after his death did we realize his impact to us all. Paul wasn’t just an actor cast to be a “car guy,” he actually was a car guy. As the F&F series gained popularity and became more commercial, the type of cars changed. However, Paul was the one advocating for Japanese cars in the films. The Nissan Skyline in particular will always be synonymous with Paul Walker. If you search on youtube, you’ll even find several videos of Paul in Japan visiting obscure tuning shops. This is something only a true Japanese car enthusiast would do. Cars wasn’t the only thing that defined Paul. He was genuinely a good human being, father, and philanthropist. His legacy will not only continue through his films, but through his charity organization that was established in 2010- Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW). JDM Chicago has decided to design a sticker in honor of Paul Walker. These will go on sale on Monday. Price is $10 per sticker. Please note that EVERY cent of your $10 is going directly to Reach Out Worldwide. That’s right.. we are eating ALL costs ourselves. These are limited to only 300 total. Our friend & JDM Chicago collaborator Morris Jamalang (Equilibrium USG) helped to tweak our design and also donated the vinyl for this project. PLEASE SHARE once these go live and help us reach the goal of $3,000 to ROWW! Special thanks to: The above 4 dudes helped cover the paypal fees so we didn’t have to pass that onto the customer!

I met Miguel a few years ago and frankly, I wasn’t too impressed with this guy. He was sarcastic, too good looking, and a bit of a recluse. Some may say he’s the Mexican James Franco. Eventually Miguel warmed up to me; and despite his numerous character flaws, you cannot deny his sense of automotive style.
When news of the FRS/BRZ/86 was released several years ago, there was a huge buzz. The popularity of the car was almost overwhelming. Miguel liked the concept and the idea behind the FRS being the successor to the AE86 by Toyota. Being a WRX owner at the time, he was also intrigued with Subaru co-developing a new boxer engine. Miguel was following companies such as Varis, Kei Muira ( TRA Kyoto Rocket Bunny 86), INGS Japan, and several FB pages covering progress on the Toyota 86 aero kits. The attraction to the car was undeniable.
At the end of last year’s car season, Miguel debated if a new project such as the FRS was worthy of his attention. His WRX already looked good from an aesthetic standpoint, but more power meant more problems. Replacing the transmission along with other peripherals was only inevitable if he wanted to take the WRX to the next level.
Miguel finally said f*ck it, and walked into a Toyota dealership last January and picked up a Raven Black FRS. Hard to believe that the Varis kit he lusted over eventually became his own just months later. Although Miguel admits the FRS is a bit under-powered, but he plans going with FI in the near future. What doesn’t show up on paper is the pure joy of driving this car. Considering the modifications Miguel has made in less then 6 months, we look forward to what he has in store for us in the future. -jdmchicago Modifications List Exterior Varis Japan Manufacturing Arising II Aero kit
