not sure what to think of this... is this some sort of stamped foil, or a base pattern vinyl that was wrapped over with gold or silver?

he has a long build thread on the internet somewhere (i'm not able to search for you atm)... i remember the wheels were discussed.

That Mustang thing has me stumped. The only vehicle that has a similar rear window is like a '68 Firebird or something. It's a toughie. I'm gonna google. ha

I saw this gold GTR on instagram somewhere and read that the whole thing is actually hand engraved. Crazy amount of hours and craftsmanship gone into it, if that's true.

Well, we know it has a GTR motor and GTR dash and center console.
As for the car, the lines look like a Cuda.

Interesting. I had to google it. Very interesting.

Pretty sure that gold engraved GTR has made the rounds several times at TAS.

Also that Skyline with the VR38 is bomb :sweetjesus:

^ Thats candsperformance's car. Car import company based in cranbrook BC

Ringbrothers Turn a Brand-New Cadillac ATS-V Into a Gorgeous '48 Coupe

I'm probably biased in thinking how cool this is, I love anything to do with ring brothers. Some people praise singer, others praise Magnus Walker, or Icon. For me it's everything RingBrothers

2 pages' worth of posts and I still haven't seen a single pic / vid of any SEMA show girls.

Man this thread did not deliver... :worthless:

That R8 is amazing the fab work that Umbrella Auto did is top notch. Best thing it belongs in Vancouver

California people are hilarious. Why do I feel like the builder of the FRS is this guys dad?

Pretty wild amount of fab work. I'm also amazed at how tall that engine is, and the subframe is even dropped 3 inches!

Okay this thing is a huge trip.

The car is by Kuhl Racing. Most people remember this variation:

The Kuhl Kid // Kuhl Racing?s R35 GTR. | StanceNation? // Form > Function

The chrome one is the car that went to TAS multiple years, and also won Sema's best in show in 2015. However they didn't just paint that car gold now. The gold one is an entirely different car. So there is two of these hand etched GTR's now in existence.

the usability of that 911 turbo would suck...me thinks the exhaust design would melt the bumper .

Isn't the owner of the R8 Ravi? He's pretty famous... or infamous on the NSXprime boards. Didn't know he was a vancouverite.
