pretty sick. i too, wonder if he was the one that chose all the parts. most of the time athletes/celebrities just drop it off at the shop and tell them to put w/e on there.

I've always wanted to see the cars that Latrell Spreewell owned and worked on for customers. I know he was into the drag racing scene in the 90s

I can understand a 20K kit when you are a multimillionaire and you bought a car that is much cheaper than an exotic.
I'd do the same cause I wouldn't spend a dime under the hood.

I always liked the Radenergie wheels. I called WheelPower once and they told me these wheels were only for German cars....which didn't make sense to me since they are custom wheels. If they had a polished or chromew lip this car would be perfect for me. I like the wild kit.

I want to do the ECU retune and the titanium exhaust . I will probably not mess with the wheels until the performance mods are done and I will be sticking to the stock size

Hopefully the end of this year or beginning of next year. Depends on business and what kind of deal I can get. I am at a crossroads where I can buy the GTR or dump 30k into my practice ( new equipment) and get another sedan in 2 years. Not sure but I want that GTR. Even my wife is on board for the GTR.

That's a nicely done GT-R. Though, he could probably go a little wider on the rear wheels.

Saw this car on Super Street, I think it's a bit too busy for my taste.

I am a hardcore Fakers hater!

I love it considering the oem bumper is sooooooooooooooooo damn plain

Retailing at nearly $20,000 the Wald kit is an engineering wonder
errrr, it's just a body kit. What's so engineering wonderful about it?
we're not talking about no electrical or mechanical breakthrough.

He had a general idea of what his wants were and the "types" of parts he wanted.
