More ASI-AS TETSU GT-R







Standing by this car, you had to be very humble. Knowing it traveled very far in a tiny container that almost could not fit this widebody piece of art is truly amazing. ASI improves Bentley touring cars. They have other kits for the 2/4 door Cont. GTs. Infact, ASI was at SEMA last year with a 2 door, non-wide in white. The car you see here transformed several times. It was originally a flat gold color, turned flat white, then the grill was redesign to go all the way down into the bumper like VW and Audi. It had silver polish wheels before going black with the added art work.

Barely fitting:


The original front Grill:


It was too bad nobody saw the 800 hp twin-turbo engine. Check out the gold painted engine covers:


While being mesmorized by the sheer presence of the car, one may have missed the BBKs.. does anyone what to take a gander on who provided these..?


Also, the hood, trunk and wing is all dry carbon.

Enjoy, this is truly a legendary build.

ELEVEN International was in the North Hall displaying their latest in custom interior seat and steering wheel designs. They produce Clazzio seat covers.. maybe you have heard of it...

MACKIN INDUSTRIES were again on hand with the latest from RAYS, Project MU, etc. Check out new colors from Project MU..!!





Keep in mind, SESSIONS BBK are basically the same as PMU. So look closely if you are thinking of getting SESSIONS. In my opinion.. very nice.

From Sol's pics, I can see some are using adapters..... It will be a trend to see more manufacturers make wheels for the tiny cars.
