Default Pics from BOSTON HIN: Project BENTLEY GT

Hey guys, I just wanted to share a few pics that I snapped at BOSTON HIN last week, we had 4 cars on display (BENTLEY, 7series, LS430, LS400) and we had a great, although extremely tiring time! With 2 displays on either side of the stage and the premium luxury as well as VIP luxury categories covered D2-AUTOSPORT truly "showed up" for this HIN event. There are some long hours and hard work that go into these vehicles, and sometimes just hearing a kind word from a fellow enthusiast makes it all worthwhile. I'd like to thank the coordinators for working with us and getting our cars in ahead of the long lines and such.

It has been a while since the car was posted, and we have added a few things:

OEM Chromed Lower Grilles (all 4)
CARGRAPHIC Exhaust
GIAC Performance SOFTWARE (approx 100extra hp)
NEW FRONT WHEELS (larger front lip)


After driving in this car before the show (needed to waste gas ), and then doing the show, I can honestly that this is a excellent all around vehicle. With the lowering module tweaked just right the ride is solid and secure but not jarring, the acceleration is damn near brutal and the exhaust sounds SOO EXOTIC!! And then the damn interior!!

One of the things that realy helps you gauge the effectiveness of the modifications performed is to see a stock example. I swear that a stock Conti GT is a dull looking car (same with the frumpy stock 7series).

I got a new camera so these pics show more of the depth in this color (which a OEM and called Neptune Blue), than the previous ones. Hope you guys enjoy.

If there are any questions, feel free to email sales@d2autosport.com

WOW man, that is great. Its beautiful. I like the color. Seems to be a rare. And all the chrome trimmings really set it off.

Is that spoiler stock?? I never ever noticed that.

Yo D! I didn't catch you at this year's show. I saw you expanded your show a bit. The LS400 and and LS430. Than these two. I have some pics but not that great. I'll try to post them later for you.

Derrick the GT looks hot. The rims and upgrades to the car really helps the car overall. The color is aweome, really shows off the lines of the car. Great job with the set up too.

Sweet display Derrick! Love the tuck of the front wheels on the Bentley. The color is very interesting, it looks light blue in the pics with no flash, but then looks darker and metallic in the pics with a flash…

Yes, the spoiler is stock. I asked the same question on another of Derrick's Bentley project threads.
