Carlos Reyes has always been a fan of "Go Big or Go Home". After previously owning a Volkswagen Beetle, Reyes acquired the 2008 Honda Accord from his older brother. Originally, Reyes had no intentions of modifying the Accord, but a year after owning it he found himself adding and changing parts to where it is now. "I'm still not done," smirks Reyes.
The exterior of the Accord is from different types of wide body cars that Reyes customized to fit. "Everything I do, I do it myself," the 20-year old mentions, "this is what makes me happy." Reyes also mentions that he doesn't lack inspiration, "nobody has really inspired me; I just do everything myself. There are times I dream about ideas, and when I wake up I write them down." And on the creativity-side of his build, "I have a creativity that not many people have. I have (too) many ideas but not enough money, " laughs Reyes.
Reyes has always worked hard since he was 15. He purchased his very 1st car and continues to throw all his passion, and hard earnings, into his builds.
"My dream is to be at SEMA, but I don't have the financial backing like some people have. I'm still young, I have a lot to learn, and will continue to work as hard as I can!"
