STORY
I bought my car in 2004 and used it as my daily driver. Having modified a few cars in the past, it was only a matter of time for the modding bug to rear its head and some minor mods where performed. That satiated me for a little while until I started showing at more NCCA events like Hot Import Nights.

Mid-2005 I started with my first major mod, a GReddy turbo kit I had imported from Japan via Fizz Motorsports. I was one of the first on the East to have one and the first to translate the instruction manual from Japanese to English. Shortly after that, Airlift Performance provided me with a full digital air suspension. Airlift used my car to redesign the rear bags for the xB kit.

In 2006 I decided I wanted to bring the car to elite levels, so I contacted Powerbass USA and they provided me with four subs and several component sets for a grand total of 32 speakers. The interior modifications feature a 27-inch HD monitor installed in the dash and an amp rack containing four Powerbass amps fitted to the roof. The majority of the cabin has been covered in black suede with silver stitching; there are few bits that are painted silver as well.

Even with all that, I knew that my next mod had to be big, so a one off wide-body was fabricated based on a Kenstyle lip kit. Some of the exterior features include, Lexus ISF exhaust tips molded in to the rear bumper and an S-Max intercooler molded to the front bumper. This project has been a labor of love and I still have more to give In the future.
