Hi Guys,

I'd like to know your opinions and feelings about drifter stitching.
I have a small crack on my front bumper on the drivers side, just below the headlight, where the bumper wraps around to the fender (in the corner).

I'm considering the JDM way (drifter stitching) to "repair" it but want to no opinions before commiting to this radical and extreme measure the alternative is a fibreglass and paint job which is, let face it a lot more expensive then a pack of cable ties.

For those of you that don't know what drifter stitching is:

Might as well do it. If you don't like it, you can fibreglass it up. My mates skyline was pretty much held together by cable ties...

It looks terrible on a Lexus. It looks terrible anywhere but a drift track tbh, even proper drift cars look rubbish with cable tie stitching when on the street. It's a quick fix for carrying on during a drift day.
