BuildsWhat's New: Featured Builds
Audi RS5
The RS5 has always been a bit of one of our favorite cars so each time we get one of this rocking Audis in our doors, it's cause for excitement. This particular RS5 was an awesome project as the owner was looking for a simple upgrade but one that could add a truly more aggressive look. We went straight to ADV1 and picked out a never before done wheel/color/hardware combination, resulting in what we call the "Black Widows". Details
BMW 328i
This 3-Series came to us with factory everything and black paint. We sent the car and its new Prior Design Aero Kit over for a complete respray in Alpine White.  Once the car was returned to us, we installed an axle back Supersprint exhaust, lowered the car with H&R Sport Springs, and picked out a set of HRE Wheels. From stock and black to wild and white, the owner now has one clean 3 series. Details
Tesla Model S P85D 
Teslas are amazing, from their sleek looks to the conscious way of powering them. But while we're speaking of power, the P85D is no joke on the street. 0-60 in 3.1 and nearly instantaneous  torque will make you crave putting your foot down and make the most of all the Tesla has to offer. To curb the urge to do that at the wrong time, we are installing a 9500ci Passport Radar and LIDAR detector. Details
Porsche 997 Turbo

This 997 Turbo came to us looking for a good mix of upgrades. For the visual aspect, this Porsche was fitted with a front spoiler and side skirts from TechArt, along with a super set of HRE P101 wheels mated with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. For the almost mandatory power increase, we hooked it up with a COBB Tuning ECU tune. To achieve a sound worthy of its new looks and power, a Europipe exhaust system met the challenge and then some. Details

McLaren MP4-12C
With a sports car as stunning as the MP4-12C is on its own, then add an eye popping color like this volcano red, you don't have to go far to bring it to the next level. But first, protection from all those gazes, positive or otherwise: an Escort 9500ci radar system. With the addition of Larini sports catalysts to enhance the McLaren's tone, an EVOMSit power module to boost its already impressive power numbers, and HRE RS103 wheels to add some extra style, this 12C is a killer! Details
BMW M3
What to do when greeted with a car as gorgeous as this 2015 M3? This car came to us already carbon fibered out and with a fantastic factory color so there wasn't much left to improve except the obvious: power!  We immediately went to work with a tune courtesy of ESS to let out that hidden horsepower and just for an additional punch of awesomeness, we added an Akrapovic exhaust to make it sound as incredible as it looks.
