I brought it over to the homies at Benzworks for LSD install, APR splitter/wing install, New lug stud install and final tuning and touch ups. I also Partnered with OE Tuning for my tune and Motorsport Hardware for my new lug studs and gunmetal lug nuts.

Man, im really feeling the Rocket Bunny Kit, cant even picture how much mula you have invested in it, even with the sponsors.

again, love the kit, but it sucks that it requires so much suspension work for it to sit like yours does.

OH, POST MORE PICS!!!!!!!! =]

Thank you. Yes the suspension was a big bump to get over. There was really nobody to turn to for advice either since its a new build. I was in contact with the owner of Sarto Racing in japan the whole time but it was hard to communicate due to the language barrier.

So it was Friday night and we had 1 more day till we had to drive the car to Vegas for Sema. Car was almost done. We just had to do a few more things. We took the car over to Mikey's garage. I partnered with a company called Nitrofill, they also make a product called Nitroshield. Its a permanent Tire shine and protectant. I installed this while MikeSSw203 installed the livery.

We picked the decals up late that night from partner Sticky Icons. We finally got started about 10pm

This was my first time ever having a car at sema. I'm so glad that it was in a booth inside a hall. When i got to the Las Vegas Convention Center I waited for 5 minutes and drove right in. I heard it took feature vehicles hours to get situated. My car was parked in the south hall with a company called Nitrofill. They install nitrogen in tires. This is the company that also own Nitroshield.

When i arrived at the booth I had to do one more mod. This was the final touch. I partnered with Tredwear Letters for the white Toyo Proxes tire writing. Pic to come.

parked inside:

need to pick your brain a bit on those tredwear letters, how are they holding up after putting some miles on those stretched tires?

They are holding up really well. The rears are in excellent condition. The front are getting a bit beat up due to the way our wheels when turning, the sidewall hits the ground.

Wow Roland... I've just now found out that this was your car. I've seen pics of it a few times online and didn't know it was yours.

Mad props to you bro. The build came out great. I can only guess how much money you spent on that thing. The wheels alone are money.

Are you planning to come out to the Cerritos meet on Saturday evening?
