You lived in Japan but you seem to ignore the existence of the bosozoku when you say that people don't deck their cars (motorcycles too) out with ridiculous body kits?
Serious drift racers don't do that. Yes, there is a subculture in Japan who loves to deck our their vehicles with body kits and LED lighting and heavy sounds systems. But mostly for show, not for racing.
I was comparing Tokyo Drift's idea of Japanese drift racing with reality. That film is just Hollywood trying to make drifting look sexy and sleek. In reality, it's just a bunch of nerds who find ways to shave every little ounce off their vehicles to improve results in their calculations and charts. Body kits, neon-colored lights, and beefy sound systems are just added weight.
I mean, throughout the course of the Fast & the Furious film franchise, the main characters go from illegal street racing punks to international spies, saving the world from global threats. So you really shouldn't be looking to those films for any sense of reality anyway.
