Default Chris LS430

So I was taking my first road trip to California a few years back, and met this awesome guy named Chris Pine at a local car show. He showed me his Lexus LS430 he had been working on modifying for quite some time. He told me his whole story about all the time and work he put into making this beauty the way it is now. Its crazy how you can meet such cool people wherever your travels lead you!



Do you have a cool story about someone you met while traveling that has an unique car?
(crazy road trip stories are welcome)

We also have a new feature on our App, where you can find other cool cars in your area, or even at a car show. download our app and try it out!

Whoa...it sounds like this might be a daily or close to it? Not really something I'd do, but I damn sure respect the wrench time in it...'nuff respect.

Heres a facebook link to his shop. He does great work! https://www.facebook.com/CentralPine
I think he also does custom body work for wide wheel fitments.
