FAVORITE MODIFICATION

"My favorite modification would be the paint matched Pandem widebody kit. It completely transforms my cars look from a day to day sporty luxury car into a vicious looking track car. I also enjoy the fact that I took the time to paint match the stock matte paint on to the widebody because it is always a conversation starter with anyone who looks at it and assumes I went the easy way with a wrap. The details are what make the build unique."
