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...

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

copy cat or not..i dont really care. the car looks beautiful. theres a reason why we joined this community and its to share our thoughts and ideas. if peeps gonna hate, then manufacturers shouldnt have mass produced bodykits, rims, tte lips, etc then.

Exactly... Its funny to see that people are even hating at all. I mean come on now, he isnt rocking Megan China Coils or other china stuff(Like some haters in this thread is LOL). He went out and sacrificed and saved for the real deal everything. He goes all out with everything he does. The admiration kit alone is 4k, the paint anothe 4k. He has new Weds on the way (another 4k), custom interior starting now and talk of twin turbo'ing the V8. Heck Im actually gonna purchase the wheels on his car right now. We all know what it takes to build an awesome car. Appreciate the sacrifices
This guy is Team Hybrid, and we strive to be the best and to also be different. Kam definately isnt the first guy to paint a GS green and put aero on it LOL. Heck the car is over 10 years old now. Kam, Im sorry bro that they dragged you into it. I bet your car is awesome and much props for building an awesome car too. We hope to see you around in the show circuit or SEMA this year. You'll see our cars all over Sema.

Again, no other opinion should matter aside from the builder. I know of other members here that have built SEMA booth cars year after year and it's not always everyone's "cup of tea". In the end of it all, it's the owner's build and he's the one that's going to be driving it and enjoying it (and SEMA is only 4 days out of the year).

I'm really not sure what the big deal is. This guys car is seriously hot as are the photos. It's funny because people are making comments about V8ridnlow this and Kam that, but do those guys (V8/Kam)even care if this guys cars looks similar? I mean there are tons of guys running the same suspension, same body kits, same exhausts.......who cares. I just can't see the big deal.

Wow, Id have to partially agree and say the cars do look so darn alike....
But still I vouche for him as he did not bite/copy or even seen that car previously in any way. Heck Ive never seen or heard of that car and I shoot cars/fashion models for a living. Thank god he gets new wheels in a few days.

Haha, if this car was black we wouldn't even be having this ridiculous discussion. The car is hot, the pics are hot, at least give credit where it's due. Similar to other members cars......yah. But at the same time, how many people on here are running the exact same coilovers as other members, the exact same lip as other members, the exact same wheels.......Seriously, aren't there bigger things in life to comment on other than somebody else's car? All 3 of their rides are much sicker than mine. I'm jealous of all of them, lol!
