Hey guys, I just wanted to shamelessly show off some pics of my 2012 GT which was featured in Whiteline Suspension's booth at the SEMA Show this year.
We completely redid the car inside and out, painting the body in Lexus Starfire Pearl white with Alien Green accent stripes. The stripes feature some really neat airbrushing by my good buddy Jason Russell. TruFiber helped me out with all of the carbon fiber trimmings, which Jason smoked slightly which tones down the tuner-ish look of the carbon but makes it pop when the light hits it. The roof is also finished in real carbon fiber which was smoked as well.
The interior was completely redone, getting fully leather-wrapped with black and white Nappa leather along with green suede accents and green contrast stitching. We even pulled the dash to have it covered. Our goal was to eliminate the feel of the heavily-textured plastic panels and go for a more upscale Euro feel. We added custom upholstered Boss Recaros, a custom rear seat delete, and a custom half-cage to give it a high-performance look and feel too.
On the performance side of things, the car runs a ProCharger P-1SC which is still on ProCharger's break-in tune (putting down 525rwhp) but will be getting tuned shortly. We also installed a Snow Performance water/methanol injection system, which we hope to try out on the dyno soon too! Out back we're running a Magnaflow competition exhaust system, which we'll be pairing with an X-Pipe soon.
Whiteline set us up with their new Watts link kit along with their adjustable front and rear sway bars and adjustable upper and lower control arms. Voss Performance in Fullerton, CA did all of the installation and everything came out beautiful. Hopefully we get a chance to really test the limits of the new suspension soon. The car is also lowered on a set of KW Suspensions V3 coilovers, which make the ride and stance awesome.
Anyway, enough rambling. I know I'm forgetting a handful of parts, but here are the pics! I'll start with pics of it at the show and below you'll find some in-progress pics!
Hope you guys dig it!
