To the op; I didn't realize you 'rep' team hybrid.

I don't think I, nor anyone took it personal, not sure why you decided to take it personal with the comments and what kind of parts others here have on their car (alot of the components on the parts that you've probably modified your car with; as well as some of us have come from factories/shops in china).

I commented on the car and the similar look of other members' cars. You shot the photos, we commented. This is a public forum and critcism will be given. I nor anyone else within the thread ever pointed a finger at you or stated untrue things. Take our comments with a grain of salt. They are your photos, his car, his money...

thumbs up.

Never said you said any untrue or negative things, nor did I take any thing personally. All I did was agree with the anti-haters and the haters agree with other haters... its all part of E-thugging LOL... Either way I am just glad to share some photos of another car from the Vegas Chapter of Team Hybrid.

He has major plans in the super soon future. So in the end the only similarities will be paint and possibly aero. I dont want to start a brand name vs other battle but we dont represent any NON Brand name parts. Doesnt matter where they are from. This is what seperates the men from the boys in the automotive industry.


So please enjoy the photos and my half arrsed video since I was sooo shaky from rock stars...

And thanks for looking guys~

All 3 of their rides are much sicker than mine. I'm jealous of all of them, lol!
I was thinking the same thing. There are plenty of black cars rockin ordens w similar setups but people aren't criticizing them like some of the posts on this thread.
The Hybrid car is being compared to Kam's bc the color is similar and there aren't many 2GS with that color. No need for the hatin and negative posts.

Thanks, come again.
then u should know he has a different body kit, the JP grill,different rims, and a different color. Kam's car is amazing...i know what it looked like in OEM form also....just from here

Dont let the comments here get to you. FYI: Half the guys here either own a over price TTE lip or a replica one and that is consider "cool" LOL. Enough said. Before anyone flame me, my GS is stock and I like it like that
hey ben, i love my TTE lip but im no hater... havent said anything negative about his ride at all.

regardless if there are similarities its a clean car... but i think the good photography makes it look better. if my gs started to look like another CL member's i'd hope they'd take it as a compliment...

I haven't seen a CL member's gs on here that isn't nice - IMO

Wow, so much negativity in this thread. I would like to give props to the owner of this awesome GS and to you, because the photography skills are just as good. I can say I've seen identical cars here. Hell, even I had somewhat of a twin at 1 time. Same color, same wheels, grill, etc. I had no idea he was even on the boards till later. ( I thought it was cool).
I agree with GS4_Fiend, the GS section is no longer what it used to be when I joined.

Once again, props on the pictures and on the car, I for one think its super sick!

As cars get older, the crowds get younger. It happens with every type of car forum. Thanks for the photo compliements and Ill shoot the compliments to Charleston. He is a super nice guy and I hope you guys all get a chance to meet him.
