No, that is not Samson's girls car. George's JP 2nd gen GS is right next to it. The Revison/PJ cars were really on top of it this show. If you haven't seen those two GS (I believe they won 1st and 2nd in the Lexus class) you have to see it in person. Traditional Revision Audio style (Samson's style), meaning attention to detail and ultra clean.

The curtains are a show car piece. Kind of need that when you compete in the VIP class which I think most thought these cars were going to be in. Ended up just in the Lexus Class. The Airrunner obviously in dumped like that just for the show. What made these two cars show winners is the extra clean installation. These cars are as clean as can be. I believe both used the Digital Air Controller. THe 2nd Gen GS also had Airrunners remote controller installed.

Anyway, I thought the 3GS was Chris' car? Or is Chris the boyfriend of your friend at work and they both own it?

I know. Samson and the PJ cars, under the Revsion Audio ubmrella took home 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the VIP class. In Lexus class they took hom 1st and 2nd with Brian from X/K taking 3rd. Jojo (Joanna) from PJ with her Mugen Accord took home 1st for girl competitor. I'm not sure who else won or placed but those are the ones I heard of so far.

Not sure what's her BF(Fiance) name is. I just know they bought the car shortly after mine and they tricked it out for the car shows. Damn sweet. I want the side mirrors but I heard it was alot of work from where they got theirs from. you had to even send your old mirrors to the japan store for swap.I think thats what she said.

d2- I see you have:FINISH: SILVER, BRUSHED ALUMINUM, MATTE BLACK, BLACK CHROME, GOLD for that rim. What do you think would look ok for a finish for my color(see sig)? Is the gold to similar?

personally i dont like it. way too low for my blood and god forbid you hit a small pot hole and you will bend that rim. In NYC those wheels would be more crooked than a politician. Just my opinion!!!!!!

frankny- as they stated in a post above the car being lowered that low was for the show. With air suspensions you can adjust the ride height. so if they wanted to they could even raise the car higher off the ground than stock to clear obsticles. :0

2thfixr- My PDA has gps. But its a 3.5in screen and not built into the car so I have to sit it someplace. Same as that unit you showed. My friend has that one. Good stuff.

Yea, I remember when they brought the car in to the shop with dealer paper plates on it. Brand new car and it was stripped for the Aimgain kit, Air suspension. The mirrors I heard from Samson was expensive mostly because of time. It had to be air mailed to Japan both ways to make it to paint in time.

The old saying pictures don't do this car justice. It is so clean and brand new like it came off the showroom floor. The car smells brand new.

DVD on the factory screen, lcds in the headrest. Its the perfect family car
