Three beauties waiting to be picked up


Serious that a beautiful picture, IF they told me to pick one to drive, I would pass out or panic. All three of them are sexy.

Yes, very highly anticipated kit. They added some livery today too so more pics coming up.

**Hey guys, we've got a busy Thursday for you here today!!**

We were able to shoot a few random builds as we made our way through the convention center at SEMA. In no particular order, I present to you some randomness at SEMA 2014

I wanted to start this post off with something special. This year we were introduced to a monster of a production car. Nissan unveiled the Nismo Edition R35 GTR. This this is an all out assault on all the senses. It looks great, handle superbly, sounds beastly, and has enough power to put most production cars to shame. With a limited quantity of these made, this Nismo GTR is totally on another level.




We couldn't leave out the GTR's little brother. Nissan is also in the process of unveiling the new 2015 Nismo Edition 370Z!! For all you Z heads out there, this is going to be quite the little surprise and will hopefully live up to the hype. It's looking good so far.


Here we have one of the handful of awesome Liberty Walk BMW's. These always turn out clean.


While we're on the topic of Liberty Walk, lets just show some more from them in these next few entries. Here is another gorgeous Liberty Walk BMW. This one was one of my personal faves.


We couldn't talk about Liberty Walk this year withouth saying something about the new Lamborghini Aventador Liberty Walk Wide Body. Another new addition to the LB lineup.


Remember that new Liberty Walk 911 997 Wide Body we showed you earlier? Well here it is in the new orange color that they chose for SEMA. Definitely an amazing kit... enough to rival RWB?... Well we'll leave that up to you guys








How about this Liberty Walk GTR? This is one of our local guys that we know. This Liberty Walk GTR is something special. With AirRex air ride suspension and some super deep dish custom BBS wheels, this GTR is clean, slammed GTR.


Buddy Club brought out there sick FRS fitted with the AIMGAIN wide body kit. This is probably one of the most underrated yet gorgeous wide body kits out there.


Being the exclusive Varis importer and distributor in North America, we're always happy to see Varis products on some of the cars in the U.S. Here we have a nicely built GRB Impreza with the Varis wide body kit. Very nicely done...




I know we had our own Varis wide body FRS last year, but we can never get enough of this kit. Here's a nicely built FRS sporting the Varis wide body kit. Brings back good memories


Mackin Industries and wheel made products brought out their ever evolving Varis wide body Evo X. With limitless amount of wheels at their ready, the can change the look of their Evo for every mood of the day.


We were on the Rocket Bunny kick in our previous post so why not just keep going. Here is the highly anticipated, high controversial Rocket Bunny wide body NSX. It's a wonderful looking kit but if you had a mint NSX would you cut up the fenders for this kit?...








We've got more photos and content to show you coming up so make sure to come back and check it out!!

**Hey guys, we've got a busy Friday for you here today!!**

Today we're going to do something a little bit different. We're still on the topic of SEMA so we'd like to share with you guys some photos from our friend's over at SpeedHunters.

They're in full force over at SEMA and they shot some additional awesome photos of some of the builds going on there.

You can see their full story here http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/11/...ma-show-is-go/.

Here's part two of their SEMA content http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/11/...nting-at-sema/.

The SpeedHunters camp is a little better at taking photos than some of us are with our handy dandy iPhone 5's and 6's. Check out these amazing builds and amazing photos brought to you by the guys over at SpeedHunters. Enjoy!

Here we have yet another Rocket Bunny FD3S RX-7. This one was rolling on some dope Volk ZE40 wheels. Definitely one of the cleaner, meaner looking Rocket Bunny FD's.


From the Pre-SEMA Scion Tuner Challenge, here once again is the SpeedHunters' Maximum Attack FRS. This retro styled track prepped FRS was a part of the Pre-SEMA Scion Tuner Challenge where it took top prize in the event. Sporting the new SpeedHunters KM4SH wide body kit designed and created by SpeedHunters themselves, and topped off with a Cosworth Supercharger, this FRS isn't playing around. This car gets down to even the most minute details including shaved door handles and fender mounted side mirrors. This FRS embodies what a good build can and should be. Congrats to SpeedHunters for creating one bad*** looking FRS.


Earlier in this thread we had posted up a photo of this awesome Rocket Bunny wide body S15 Silvia. Well... it looks like it caught the attention of the SpeedHunters guys too. Yamanaka-San actually added the livery right there at the show which gathered quite a crowd. Whether it was planned or if he just plain ran out of time we don't know. Regardless, the car and the live performance definitely turned some heads. We'll have more photos of this car with finished livery later on so stay tuned.




We were happy to see some JDM Volk ZE40's on some nice Euro cars. This new BMW M4 was sporting the new Ray's Volk ZE40 wheels in bronze. White and bronze is and always will be a match made in heaven.


Okay, I know this isn't JDM but we had to share this one. Many of you might have already seen this but who cares... we're going to share it anyways. This is Ken Block's new 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR which he will be using as his next Gymkhana car. With 845 bhp and a custom setup All Wheel Drive system, this next car is sure to tear up any and all roads in his next Gymkhana 7 video. We'll be sure to keep an eye out for that one.


Remember that orange Liberty Walk 997 Porsche we showed you again? Well here it is in full garb with the final livery on and ready for the media. It definitely adds another level to the appearance but we're not sure if we like the livery on or off better. What do you think?


Does that say RAUH-Welt? Yup! This RAUH-Welt, VW mashup is one of Jon Sibal's latest creations. The combination of super wide fenders plus the aggressive fitment of the wheels just looks natural on this VW. Great job once again Jon!


Greddy also came out in full force bringing with them a brand new Lexus RS-F fitted with a slew of Greddy performance parts. This is going to be one of the next big tuning platforms so watch out for this car as we're sure it's going to make a big statement in the tuner scene.


Lexus was a big player at SEMA this year. Along side the RS-F, the RC-F is another platform that dominated the year. Check out this one posted up at the Vossen booth. The rear end of this thing is just incredible. Its bold, aggressive styling really put this car over the top in the best way possible.




SpeedHunters graciously took some great photos of our own full dry carbon Bulletproof GTR SPL. Check out the amazing shot of the motor. The Overtake Titanium Intake Plenum just steals the show under the hood with it's carefully placed titanium burns. It's a thing of beauty and it almost makes us want to cry tears of joy every time we see it. Along with the plenum we added titanium hardware all throughout the engine bay to really give it some detail. This is most likely one of the lightest production street driven GTR's in the world. Just for kics, below that we also added a photo of our Bulletproof Automotive Frozen Carbon Edition Advan GT's wrapped around the massive carbon ceramic Overtake brakes.

**More SEMA Goodness Coming Your Way!!**

Hey guys, SEMA was last week but we've got tons more to show you. This year seemed to be the year of wide body projects and GT cars. We've compiled a list of more awesome builds so just sit back and enjoy as we dish out some more SEMA content!

We told you in one of our earlier posts that this Sarto Racing x Rocket Bunny wide body CLK kits was one of our favorites.... well, here is another rendition of this kit in only in orange. We love this kit and it looks so good in this color too.




Check out this full carbon Z4 creation. Just look at the incredible full carbon fender flares. It's a thing of beauty. We thought we had the only full carbon car but I guess we were wrong. This all carbon BMW Z4 made its appearance at SEMA this year. We just wish it had a carbon hardtop to boot!


Moving right along, we really liked this finish on this Liberty Walk BMW. This brushed metal look works wonderfully on this LB wide body.


Let's just say Liberty Walk had quite the showing this year at SEMA. This new body LB kit is one of the best ones yet. The overall concept was the same but the lines have become more aggressive and the fenders flow a bit better on this kit. We love the new look.





Don't worry, we have a lot more to come so don't go anywhere.

Of course! We're happy to share these awesome photos of these amazing builds. That blue NSX is crazy. We also really liked that one.

Hey guys, we hope you all are having a great week so far!

We have even more SEMA stuff still left so we're happy to share more photos and content.

We'll most likely keep posting 2014 SEMA content until we run out so stay with us if you want to see some incredible cars.

Since this year at SEMA seemed to be the year of the wide body, we couldn't talk about wide body cars without talking about some GT3 cars.

Check out some of these sweet GT3 cars at SEMA this year.


This BMW Z4 from H&R Springs brought out their timeless GT3 wide body Z4. Just look at the rear fenders and the HUGE front racing diffuser... they're MASSIVE!


AE (Always Evolving), one of the late/great Paul Walker and Roger Rodas' endeavors, brought out an insane NISMO GT3 GTR. This thing looks like it can produce some massive amounts of downforce... I mean, just look at those canards and that massive GT3 GT wing! The crazy Mint Green with Black color scheme just works.




Lexus had a huge hand in the success of this years SEMA show. With the rise in popularity of the Lexus RC models, Lexus has brought out a very futuristic version of a Lexus RC-F GT3 Concept car. It's absolutely stunning from every angle you look at it. You can obviously see the added curves and lines to this newer style GT3 car as opposed to the older angular style that GT cars used to have. The rear center diffuser fins are the biggest we've ever seen and the large GT wing looks like it's from a futuristic space ship. This is one car we'd love to have in our stable.




Here is the Bentley GT3 car which made a grand appearance at this years SEMA show. We love the enormous front racing diffuser and the traditional GT3 side skirts with the side exit exhaust... hhmmm, sound a lot like our GTR .


Finally, Porsche has always been the quintessential embodiment of what a race car should be. This Porsche 997 GT3 inspired cup car by Vollkommen Design was no exception. Just look at those gorgeous fender arches in the front and the massive swells in the rear quarter panel. The lines are perfect in every way. You can't think of GT racing without thinking of Porsche.


We've got a lot more to come so stay in your seats as we bring you more content from this year's SEMA show!!

Hey guys, it’s Friday and it looks like we've got some more SEMA content and photos to share with you.

I'm sure you guys already know or have at least seen some photos from stickydiljoe.com. He posted up some awesome SEMA photos on his blog titled "The Chronicles" which you can see here http://stickydiljoe.com/.

We want to share with you some photos he captured while at SEMA 2014. He definitely got some awesome close-up shots with some details that many other people skipped out on.

Photo credit goes out to Sticky Diljoe. Check it out!!


Let's start with this. Here's that awesome red Liberty Walk M3 that was there. Just something about the way they shoot this car, it just makes it look that much better.


While we're on the topic of BMW's, take a look at this new M5 from IND. They posted up in the Falken Tire's booth sitting on some gorgeous HRE wheels. They always have a knack for building clean Bimmers.


For the last BMW entry on this list, here's another Liberty Walk BMW, only this one is the new M4. The M4 is going to be the next huge Euro tuning platform so expect to see more builds with this chassis. We think Liberty Walk definitely brought their A game with this kit.


Moving on, remember Yamanaka-San's Rocket Bunny S15? Well the guys over at Stickydiljoe.com took some more detailed photos in and around the car.






Who knew the car had a square/oval/rectangle/awesome center exit exhaust?


Check out the stripped out interior of this S15. We love the stacked gauge cluster and the bare bones interior.
G][/URL]

Here’s a shot of that Rocket Bunny FD with the Volk ZE40’s now with livery!! Like most cars at SEMA, the livery was completed there at the show.


Here we have a dope shot of this S2000 wide body with some Bronze ZE40’s.




We’ve seen ZE40’s on FD’s, Evo’s, S2000’s, Subaru’s, and even some BMW’s… well now, how about an Audi?


We love seeing our customer’s/friend’s cars at SEMA. Check out our customer’s awesome Evo X with some sweet SSR wheels, Chargespeed wide fenders, and an M Sport front bumper.


Wide bodies aren’t just limited to the JDM cars, check out this crazy wide body GT40! It’s pretty much insane…




I know we showed this earlier, but our customer David’s “Over-Bunny” GTR looked incredible in this photo. Utilizing Rocket Bunny wide fenders and rear with an Overtake International front bumper and hood all tied in with authentic Nismo GT3 side skirts and side pipes, this GTR was a show stopper for sure.




Check out this crazy wide body GVB Impreza STi fitted with Aero Flow wide body from Vollkommen Design, these are some of the most massive fenders out for this car. The crazy hot pink paint job makes this car really stand out. Something about it just draws us in...


Here’s another one of Kei-Miura’s creations. This Hyundai Genesis wide body is sitting on some new Work Emotion CR 2 piece wheels. We love these new wheels from Work!!


How about some new SSR Professor TF1’s? Definitely a great looking wheel!


Stay tuned for even more SEMA photos and content next week! Have a great weekend guys!!!

I guess having a widebody is a must to get into SEMA. Nice pictures.

Haha, although this year was the year for wide body builds, it's most definitely not a requirement.

We had our own Bulletproof Automotive GTR SPL (Street Premium Lightweight) which was a non-wide body GTR that we brought out. Granted it was full dry carbon, it still had factory sized fenders .

For some reason, the wide body kits were in this year so it just looked like everybody had wide bodies.

Thank you for the compliment though!!

We do have a handful of awesome Evo 8/9 customers. I'll have to do a little digging though. If you'd like me to shoot you over a few photos I can. Just send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you over some photos. If you need any mods for your Evo, let me know and I'll get you taken care of.
