The one thing that RUINS the car is the crappy cut out for the crooked switches. My guess is it has to be a temp solution while something like a metal template is being cut.

I agree. Taking customizing to another level. I have never seen doors like that. My wildest dream would be lambo doors opening the other way. This blows my idea away. That show car is show casing the talent of the fabricator.

The switch plate has to go.

As ridiculous as the doors are, it definitely is thinking outside of the box.

I wonder why there isn't more to the car than just funky door hinges?


I was also hoping the car would continue the transformation into a robot. He should put
a fake robot head turned upside down in the trunk or something or maybe some fists with
holes in them to hold a rocket launcher.

Very classy statement. What does this car have to do with terrorists?

yo guys, totally ridiculous to start with stereotyping middle eastern--terrorists... your stereotyping is the same kind of ignorance that actual terrorists employ to solidify support in their home countries. so congrats on the same behavior.


anyway, it's funny that as soon as i saw the car, i thought that it had to be in Saudi Arabia. The color combo (white/gold/sand) is some of the color combo i remember inside their embassy in DC. sure enough, the website says "jeddahboys.com."

AJ sent me a bunch of pics of cars similar to this one. Very wierd and interesting stuff they have over there. They are carving out their own niche.

Aside from minor flaws like the switch panel and rear seats I like it for what it is, a show car. The guy didnt mod his car to blend in with the rest of the scene. He wants the attention. Funny how since they are arabian they automaticley get steroetyped as terrorists. Not all arabs are bad. Its just a few of them give the rest bad names. When we see those ugly lifted cars with 24"+ nobody uses racial sterotypes because a mod will say its racist but when it comes to arabs its ok to call them names If I saw that car here I would give him props for it being different. Not the same body kit with rice wheels and ugly coffee can exhaust.
