Not trying to sound conceited about the car, but it does get a lot of attention, sometimes too much when im driving in the not so good parts of LA/OC.

Thanks man, I will definitely be keeping it for awhile. I want to do performance mods. The real performance mod i want to do is engine swap to a built M113K, but no budget for that right now.

Sick! I like it´s new colors. You would never see a car like this on the streert in my country (Holland) I'm pretty sure almost everyone would stare and point at the car. It is like seeing a full DTM-racecar out on the street.

I think someone should do a high quality video of it!

Rolln, what rear tires do you use for brand? I see your tire depicts Toyo. I have Toyo Poxes at the rear and they seem pretty decent from the previous Continental I had.

At first it sat up a little high, we had to do some trimming on the sides. But now its great. I don't think it was made for the m113 though. The 2 intake scoop things come down a little too low and hit the front engine cover. I just drive without the cover for now. I'm sure i can do some trimming and make it work though... Otherwise i love it.

I've taken this thing on the car show circuit over the last few months. It's been surprisingly able to win a couple awards.

This was a show by Advanti Wheels out in Corona, CA. 1st place Euro.
