Big Pimpin Borat Style: Kazakhstani DIY Phantom Conversion
Pimpin’ ain’t easy, even in the U.S. But what about in Kazakhstan? Unless you’re a mobster, a chauffeur, or a car thief, odds are, you’ll never get to drive a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Most people outside of major cities have never even seen one. That fact may work to mechanic Ruslan Mukanov’s advantage, as he’s simply…

GTHaus Makes Widebody M3 Kit Available To The Public
Oh boy – it looks like the gauntlet has been thrown down and G-Power now has a true challenger. We first showed off GTHaus’ Meisterschaft Widebody E92 BMW M3 and then G-Power’s Pair of Clubsport M3s available to the public. Probably given the hype that G-Power’s parts produced, GTHaus didn’t sit around to be overtaken….

But given their highly successful Porsche packages, Oakley Design has decided to broaden their conversions and touching on Italy’s most famous stallion. Putting their hands on the all new Ferrari 458 Italia, Oakley Design…
Project Kahn Expands Land Rover Line with Freelander RS200 Package
Afzal Kahn, CEO of Project Kahn, markets himself with a bold claim: the king of aesthetic conversions. While it might be a little overboard, Project Kahn does do a fantastic job with their RS-series packages for various Land Rover vehicles. Their RS600 for the Range Rover Sport was widely successful and their RS300 partnership with…
Next-Gen Mercedes CLS Previewed in Lorinser Sketch?
Lorinser just sent us a “first glance” at what the German tuner’s program for the next-generation Mercedes CLS might look like. This immediately stuck us as strange, as it’s rather hard to design an aero it for a car when you don’t even know what it looks like in the first place. That got us…
Mansory Porsche Panamera Turbo Will Shatter Your Retinas
No one has ever accused the Porsche Panamera Turbo of being a beauty queen, but German tuner Mansory has just given the car a makeover that will have you running to the nearest eye wash station. Still, Mansory has your attention and that’s just what they want, because the German exotic car tuner isn’t looking…
Emotion Wheels BMW M3 Makes 700-hp from Twin-Turbo 4.4-Liter V8
Yes, yes, yes – finally! While the entire world is focusing on building hybrids that save gas, aftermarket tuners are focusing on hybrids that are well, our definition of a hybrid. That is, a vehicle sporting a motor from a bigger brother that hardly saves gas, but gives a whole new foundation for even more…
Merdad Introduces Porsche Cayenne Coupe
While Xenatec is dreaming up a Porsche Cayenne pick-up truck, Merdad is doing the opposite offering a true two-door coupe conversion for the Porsche Cayenne. Yes, you can rub those eyes again because they’re not deceiving you, this is no dream concept car. We don’t know much about Merdad, but the company is owned by…
ARKYM AeroRace Kit Shows BMW M3’s Wild Side
Showing that the economy is truly turning around, the aftermarket industry (fueled by disposable income) continues to pick up steam. Recently ARKYM announced its AeroRace Kit for the BMW E92 M3. With yet another entry to the BMW E92 M3 segment for body styling options, we groaned when we saw that ARKYM’s slogan is “The…
Matte-Black Veilside Lamborghini Murcielago Debuts at Japan’s Special Import Car Show
For those not in the know, Premier 4509 Limited is Veilside’s luxury brand. And the drastically different name is with good reason in our opinion, given Veilside’s reputation with Japanese vehicles that are borderline “ricey”. That image probably wasn’t helped by branding through the Fast & Furious movies, but marketing is marketing. Nonetheless, Premier 4509…
Prior Design Offers Mercedes-Benz SL Facelift Options
The newly facelifted Mercedes-Benz SL offers a much more aggressive design. What it also leaves are R230 chassis owners wishing they could revamp their front end to the new generation without forking over the cash for a whole new car. There have been several aftermarket manufacturers that are catering to that market, offering all new…
Paul Walker of ‘Fast & Furious’ fame competes in Redline Time Attack series
The Redline Time Attack series — where man and machine compete against the clock to post the fastest lap time in Street, Modified, and Unlimited classes — attracts many of the biggest name tuner shops in the country, but it has also attracted Paul Walker, star of the film ‘Fast & Furious’. Walker has…
G-Power Announces A Pair Of BMW M3 Clubsport Models
Just in case a standard run-of-the-mill BMW E92 M3 wasn’t good enough for you, G-Power has announced a pair of BMW E92 M3 Clubsport Models available to the general public. And by general we mean those with plenty of expendable income. Both vehicles have the same performance modifications, netting 600-hp and 430 ft-lbs of torque…
Brabus Goes Topless with E-Class Cabriolet
We’ll say it since everyone’s thinking it. Mercedes-Benz is really milking this generation E-Class for all it’s worth. First the sedan was released to much praise; then the coupe comes out and everyone rejoices, and now the cabriolet. But who benefits more from Mercedes-Benz’s continual segmentation from their E-Class? Brabus of course! After releasing tuning…
Xenatec Dream Car Renderings Include Bentley SUV, Aston Martin Hatch
We’ll give German Tuner Xenatec this much: their Maybach 57S Coupe is pretty sweet. But they’ve now released five Photoshop rendering of what they consider their “dream cars.” Thankfully these are just concepts, because quite frankly we’re not too sure about the styling. Let’s start with their Aston Martin hatchback/crossover. The rear end looks like…
DMC Lamborghini Murcielago Quattro Veloce Gets White Carbon Fiber Wheels
Ever heard of DMC? Neither have we, but the tuner of high-priced exotics has just released a styling kit for the ever-popular Lamborghini Murciélago and has named it, Quattro Veloce. Starting with the aesthetics, the body is refitted with lightweight carbon fiber which includes a carbon fiber spoiler, hood, side vents and rear diffuser. Then…
Alpina B3 S Boosts BMW 335i Horsepower By 33%
Alpina is an interesting BMW tuner, taking run-of-the-mill BMWs and transforming them directly on the BMW assembly line. In some markets, like here in Southern California, you can walk into your local BMW dealership and see a (grossly inflated) Alpina vehicle on the showroom floor. The company’s resume extends from 3-Series E21 to E90, 5-Series E12…
Novitec Rosso Offers Select Upgrades for Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
Sure Ferrari claims that a sedan won’t ever be in the works from them, but their 612 Scaglietti is a 2+2-seater. Debuting in 2003, it has never carried the fame of its counterparts, but Ferrari tuner Novitec Rosso hopes to change that, dressing the 612 to impress with some nice aftermarket goodies. Because a Ferrari…
Ferrari 458 Italia Challenge Spotted
The Ferrari 458 Italia has been spied in what appears to be full “Challenge” getup. For years, Ferrari has run the 355, 360 and 430 Challenge, a race series for wealthy playboys enthusiasts who want to arrive at the track, drive a fully prepped Ferrari race car, and let others take care of the oily…
