Interesting... He has new wheels on the way and some other stuff. Highly doubt he went out of his way to copy someone as he isnt on the forums that often. He has also built two magazine featured cars. He pretty much builds for Sema then sells them... But thanks for the photocompliments....

Um. I know Kam personally and I've seen his car personally -- before the kits/air etc. I actually bought parts off of his car. So I know what the car looked like in 'OEM' form with the same Desert Sage Metallic paint job. Kam's is a 98-00 as well, but again; he's modded his to be unique.

Thanks, come again.

The guys from autofashion said that his car is different. You guys do realize that this car is not mine and its not a 98. Charlestons GS is a gs400. Also Team Hybrid has never seen Kams car at any shows, Nisei, Auto Motion ect...

Either way this car will be at Sema, will Kams? Knocking off is only if you cared to look up a car, and then build it like it. Charleston is way to busy of a guy to even come on the boards, then to waste like 20k+ on a build to look just like some one else(Makes no sense at all). He is a father of 3 kids and really is just too busy to be posting up on forums. I know the guy personally and he is honestly hurt buy your guy's statements. Once you've built a featured, sponsored out show stopper and are at his level I guess, maybe, your opinion would matter more. There will always be haters and crap talkers, but very few deliver something worth talking about, photographing ect....

But what do I know, im just the photographer trying to stick up for the poor guy. Maybe he will join the board and actually put his 2 cents in.

Thank you, come again...
