We may earn a commission from links on this page.

It's not hard to wax hyperbolic about Japan's custom van scene. Between the giant, fiberglass cockscombs, plate-lip ground effects, and airbrushed portraits of Japanese starlets — not to mention the Venutian bachelor-pad interiors — there's more than enough material for most adjective jockeys to work with. Trouble is, words fail to capture the cartoonish extravagance of these cosmic shag-pads. Go and look.
