Fast and Furious Wall Art: The Paul Walker Tribute Collection
The Fast and the Furious franchise changed what a generation of car enthusiasts wanted. The orange Supra introduced millions of Americans to the idea of a tuned JDM car. The silver Skyline made an import-banned machine into a legend. The Evo VII became the car every teenager with a poster on their wall actually wanted. The Eclipse GSX started it all. This is the Deckorate tribute to the cars Brian O'Conner drove across the first two films.
The Fast and the Furious (2001): First Ride
The first film introduced two cars that defined its entire world. The Toyota Supra MK4 is the one everyone remembers: orange, rebuilt from a junkyard shell, carrying a 2JZ engine on a pallet when Brian first sees it. Jesse's line on seeing the stripped engine has been quoted in car culture ever since. The car arrives halfway through the film as a wreck and leaves it as the fastest thing on Toretto's street. The orange paint job became the most reproduced colour choice in JDM car culture for a decade.
Less discussed but equally significant is the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. It is Brian's car from the film's opening sequences: the car he drives to infiltrate the street racing scene, the car he loses to Toretto in the first race, the car that sets up everything that follows. A turbocharged all-wheel drive hot hatch from 1995 with a 2.0-litre engine and a visual presence that defined the aesthetic of early 2000s tuning culture. Without the Eclipse, there is no Supra.
The Deckorate First Ride 2-pack covers both cars from the first film together: the Supra and the Eclipse, the two machines that launched the franchise.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003): Miami Streets
The second film moved to Miami and introduced the two cars that defined it. Brian O'Conner's Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 wore Platinum Metallic paint — silver with a blue iridescent quality — with blue racing stripes. Despite the official colour it became known and remembered universally as the blue Skyline. The bridge jump, the street race, the federal agent pursuit: the R34 was the visual centrepiece of 2 Fast 2 Furious and it introduced the Skyline to an American audience that could not legally buy one.
Running alongside it was the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII driven by Roman Pearce. Mystic Blue, turbocharged all-wheel drive, and a character completely different from the R34 despite sharing its basic specification. The Evo VII represented the everyday performance car that someone with Roman's background would actually have: attainable, fast, and capable of keeping up with a Skyline when it needed to.
The Deckorate Miami Streets 2-pack covers both cars from the second film: the silver and blue R34 alongside the Evo VII, exactly as they appeared in the sequences that gave an entire generation their first real look at what a Skyline was.

The complete tribute: all four cars
The Paul Walker 4-pack brings together all four cars from the first two films: the Supra MK4, the Eclipse GSX, the R34 Skyline, and the Evo VII. Displayed as a set of four decks, it covers the complete arc of Brian O'Conner's car history across the films that defined the franchise. Four machines, four different characters, one wall display that tells the whole story.
For anyone who grew up watching these films, this is the definitive tribute. Not one car from one film but all four from the two films that established everything the franchise became.

Why these cars matter beyond the films
The Fast and Furious franchise did something that no automotive publication could have done: it made JDM cars aspirational for an American audience with no prior connection to Japanese car culture. The 25-year import ban meant the R34 and the Skyline were genuinely unavailable to most American buyers when the films were released. The franchise created desire for cars that could not be owned, which is the most powerful form of desire that exists in any market.
The values today reflect this. The original orange Supra sold at auction for $185,000. Clean R34 Skylines regularly exceed $150,000. The Eclipse GSX, once an affordable used car, has appreciated steadily as the generation that grew up watching the films develops the means to own what they wanted at fifteen.
These are not just movie props. The Supra MK4 is a genuine engineering achievement with a 2JZ engine that handles 1,000 horsepower on the stock block. The R34 GT-R is one of the most technically sophisticated production cars of its era. The Evo VII was a world rally-derived road car available to anyone with the right budget. The films chose these cars because they were already exceptional. The cultural significance came after, and it came fast.
