Osir B8 A4/S4 Aero Pieces
OSIR Design is the premier manufacturer of carbon fiber accessories and body kits for the Audi and VW market. Establishing themselves from day one as the leader in high end aftermarket parts for the true Audi and VW enthusiast, there isn't an Audi they miss. Using a vacuum infused carbon fiber with a high gloss finish, OSIR designed a complete Audi overhaul with their A4/S4 upgrades. With a front bumper, grill, side skirts, trunk hood, trunk spoiler, and two rear valance styles to choose from, you can create an Audi with as much carbon presence as you wish.
The SQ5 takes the sport utility vehicle to a new place. Engineering an exhaust that embraces the spirit of performance as much as one of practicality is no easy feat. Thanks to AWE Tuning's sound cancelling 180 Technology™ and countless hours of R&D, we were able to craft a system for the SQ5 that enables perfect part throttle cruising when you want it, and a disobedient soundtrack when you're feeling a bit more... aggressive. In other words, the AWE Tuning SQ5 Touring Edition Exhaust is the best of both worlds.  
   More than 29 years of continuous exhaust development and expertise are drawn upon to develop the ultimate Milltek Sport range of performance products, offering an ever-expanding comprehensive selection of performance exhausts which now happily include the A3! Produced in high quality type-304 aircraft grade stainless steel, this material is anti-magnetic and less susceptible to discolouration. Choose between a resonated or non resonated sound, 3 awesome tip options, and proudly let your A3 flex its exhaust muscle.

Brembo Big Brake Kits for the 2015 X5/X6
BMW's bigger beauties need some love too and what could be a better way to express it with some intense braking power?

H&R Sport Sway Bars are designed for drivers who desire improved handling without lowering or affecting ride quality.

BuildsWhat's New: Recent Builds
Audi S4 
This 2015 Sepang Blue S4 came to us shortly after delivery.  Immediatly we put on the Bilstein suspension and SPC control arms.  Under the hood we did a RocEuro intake and Eurocode BoostTap for the supercharger.  Poking out the back are optional blue tips from the wicked loud Armytrix exhaust.  Inside we did a P3 gauge, and last but not least, a set of Avant Garde wheels.  A unique color combination throughout. Details
BMW M5
The 2013 M5 is an outstanding sports sedan for BMW but we couldn't leave a good thing alone. We first set off to find an amazing set of wheels. Going with HRE S101 wheels & Michelin Pilot Sport tires, things started looking up. To bring the car back to earth a set of H&R springs were installed for a moderate drop right above the tires.  Finally, to get the "un-leaded" out we installed a full Eisenmann Exhaust and AMS Downpipes that sounds absolutely incredible. Jaw dropper 101. Details
Mercedes CL63 AMG
The CL63 AMG is capable of 0-60 in 4.3 seconds from the factory.  With 518 horsepower, there is plenty of power to keep a smile on your face. Since this car goes through Mercedes Benz's AMG tuning shop, it comes with goodies like a burly dual exhaust and full on body kit.  Everyone knows how important wheels are. So we put on a set of ADV 10 wheels with hidden hardware, wrapped in Michelin pilot super sport tires. Details
Porsche Turbo S

We took this brand new 991 Turbo straight from the dealership and our client had us install a set of 21" HRE P101 Monoblock wheels in a gorgeous satin charcoal and matched them with a set of Pirelli PZero tires, a tire developed for performance sports cars and high performance luxury sedans. Once the wheels were installed, we hardwired a V1 radar and set off for a photoshoot to do this car justice. Details 

Range Rover Evoque
This Range Rover Evoque was shipped to GMP for some serious upgrades. Looking to Hamann for the style revamp, we installed a complete Hamann Widebody Kit, along with a set of 22" Hamann Anniversary EVO Wheels. Not content to do this big of a visual upgrade and leave performance to fend for itself, we added an ETG Performance software upgrade to give this Evoque some extra power. Details
Volkswagen GTI
When this GTI came to us, it was looking for a little bit of help in each department; A little show, a little go, a little comfort, and a little growl. The goal wasn't to make it scream but just enough to elicit some envy as it rolled down the street or mastered the track. With some help from APR, D2, Carbonio, and BBS, it does just that.  Also be sure to check out the awesome shots of this GTI, courtesy of Clint Davis Photography! Details
