Honestly I wouldn't want my dream car built for me, I would LOVE to just build it on my own and go through and make the mistakes, get dirty, and have fun while doing it.

    That car looks awesome. Well done and seemingly well deserved. On a side note... I had the same exact car. The before version that is. And i can't say how happy I was to see the seat torn at the seam. That happened to mine one day when I was vacuuming. I must have knelt on the seam as I was cleaning the passenger side. When i showed it to the guy at the dealership he laughed at me and said that doesn't happen from what I said. He accused me of standing on the seat with my head out of the sunroof! He insisted I was lying. Ever since I've been nervous Nelly while kneeling in the seat and reaching four anything thinking maybe it was my fault. This is just proof that these cars had this issue. Vindicated.

    Some real artists right here! I imagine that this is what WCC and Pimp my Ride would be like if they were any good...
    Side note, this wrap is so smooth, my eyes keep slipping off the car!

    Here watching from Philippines. You guys really did a great job,you literally transformed it into like another car. The owner facial expression looks like he can't believe that it was his car. Great job and keep doing what you're doing. You're making people inspired. I also have Mazda Astina Project but now still sitting in front of my yard but soon I'll finish it even if it takes me years.
