| Additional comments |
I'd like to thank JSAutostudio for doing all the custom bodywork and paint investing well over 600 hours into the job. Mike Wong for helping on the design aspect of the car. HRE wheels for providing the rims. Also a big thanks for the Pics courtesy of Lewis Fan and Hong Chan. Finally, 8 months of hard work has come to a temporary end! The body was completely redisigned to enable the 19" wheels front and back. The fenders were all hand made from all metal to ensure maximum strength. All front and rear bumpers were also custom made to encorporate the wider fenders and designed from scratch. Hope you all enjoy the car. Stay tuned for more mods to come!

I bought this car back in 2002 and I'm the second owner. My car had only 136 KM on it and it was very simple. Later, I changed my mind and searched for the parts I needed. I saw AutoRice on eBay so I visited their site. He had some of the stuff I wanted. I changed my headlights, grill, and clear corners (all bought from AutoRice). I installed 17" aluminum rims with red brake calipers. My car has 190E Revolution on the rear doors and Brabus emblems on the front side fender. I also installed a Pioneer MP3 player with Clarion 10" subs, 6 speakers and 2 tutors. The interior is really impressive because everything is in wood farmica--even the gear lever and Brabus emblem on the garnish. My car is in very wicked condition and shines like new! All the records are from Benz Canada.

I'll be 19 years old in September. I recently finished my 1st year at UBC. Thanks to my parents for giving me the car (bone stock) for university. Even though I've spent a lot of time, effort, and money on my car I'm still far from being done. I'd also like to thank the people who gave me advice and hooked me up with sweet deals for parts: SR, R1 Collision, Quality Plus, and most of all my car club BCDSM. All the people on that board are great and very helpful.
PS: Jaime, call me about the damn Supra! =þ LOL
Thanks,
Howard
