At least I think that's the same car? It looks like the owner changed out the wheels and put in some fancy stereo system. Sad to see it get tossed around like this

It's not that bad. The interior is a little overboard though.

When did Ben sell his car? I doubt this is the same car. I know the owner of this car, he owns eastcoastclothing and bought this car for his gf I know him because he beat me at a car show a few months back (I got 2nd place). I was pissed cuz his car was not supposed to be judged because he is a sponsor so he entered it under his gf's name. Anyways, I like the black/red suede interior but not the system. He said his rims were custom made by Rays engineering (aka Volk).

Ben sold his car a while ago and got himself a G35 with some mods.

Some pictures of his old car. I don't think these are the same two cars. At least I hope not

He sold it last year, for a g35, just like what ricky said, other than the interior redo, and the rims, which are Lexions, made by rays engineering, who also makes Volks, everything else is the same or looks the same, esp the red color and kleeman combo, and the expressions body kit, and the dual exhaust, if its not ben's old car, its a pretty good wannabe...like I said, other than the interior and wheels, its exactly the same, look at the link ricky posted, and look at the last few pics which were pics of the car completed with body kit and all.
