That look's sweet,I think he should get some 15" willwood brakes on it to be safe.I heard a few horror stories about cars that don't upgrade the brakes w/ big wheels.

Sorry but that looks weird. The front and rear bumpers looks like he added 10" to the bottoms and looks ridiculous. Do the screens in the front seat headrest swivel to the back so the rear passenger can see them?. The interior is unique, Im sure there is alot of money in it, just looks ridiculous. Also the stock brakes look TINY, almost cant even see them

That is crazy. It reminds me of one of those Jada model cars with the overly huge wheels.

yea, the brakes are laughable, not to mention he was going for the two-tone paint scheme and ended up with at least three Yuk.

I didnt even pay attention to the brakes. How does someone spend that much money on a show car and then neglect something that is so obvious. That looks retarded with those small, little brakes....

Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed. Check out the difference between the front passenger door and the front fender.
