Gday readers, modifying my Rukus for a new startup business. Thought I'd document the transformation here. I was after a quirky Japanese mini truck which I could wrap and lower. Initially I was looking at a Nissan Cube, but steadily my preference swung to the Rukus. These cars haven't had much joy here in Australia, but with a Camry engine and heaps of room, I reckon they're an underrated ride. They also haven't had a facelift, so the earlier models still look current.
The plan:
1. Full graphic wrap in green
2. Black Rims
3. Air suspension (obviously to turn heads but I need to be able to adjust the ride height to accommodate a full payload of glass bottles. Coilovers wouldn't handle this).
Here she is stock... 2012 model
And a Photoshop roughup of the desired look
