I can't believe this Ernie guy lied to SpeedHunters about the authenticity of the Vertex kit when any true SC enthusiast can see that it's a cheap knock off. Look at the front grill openening placement. The side skirts don't even come close to lining up with the body. I understand authentic products may cost more then knockoffs and not everyone has the resources to purchase those products but don't go around lying claiming that your products are Authentic when there not. It's like rocking 4 stripe shell toes and claiming that there legit Adidas or better yet like buying Rota Grids and slapping some Volk stickers on them and claiming that there authentic TE37's! Ain't gotta lie to kick it. On the upside... the wheels look pretty sick and you can't go wrong with the 1jz 5spd.

I don't think that is Ummagawds car. If it is, it's gone downhill. Ummagawds car was *nice*, not just furious. Everything polished, everything lined up, everything the way it should be. This car not so much so if it is his, it's been through some thangs. Not that this car isn't fine, but it's not up to the standards it is being compared to as I remember umma's car.

Plus as far as I know he runs a rear lip and this car has a full rear bumper kit. Finally, Ummagawd had air ride so he wouldn't lowered anything for a shoot, he was already in the pavement.

The article states this car has:

This fantasic stance has been brought to you buy Stance Coilovers and a set of Volks GTV custom painted flat black and gloss black lips.

i think i know who's car that is. Not ummagawds car. That engine bay looks really familiar. From what i remember he had the vertex kit along with some chrome wheels beforehand. He also is a member on here and his sig has a blue supra as well as a white sc4 in it. If it is who i think it is Steve at SR motorcars did the motorwork.

I think we need to verify the owner of the car and everything before jumping to assumptions.

I was thinking the same thing....
