    known as drift charms i think, started in japan with the handle hangers off subways being nicked on hung on the back as far as i know, think there was a thread on DW about them too.

    People call it drift charms, but in reality its just harmless decoration. Anyone can have them - you don't need permission

    But yes, it started as a Bosozoku thing. Subway handles on the towhook as a sign of badassness

    How much BHP does a drift charm add? Doesnt it reduce the Aerodynamics of the car??

    I thought it originally started in Japan with the bozo guys because they saw the cement trucks with little buckets hanging from the back to catch any cement that would drip off. So they put it on their tow hooks and if they could make it scrape the ground then they were cool.
