I just got an email from cardomain and as I was scrolling down I saw a genesis all torn apart.

it's exactly constructed like the tiburon. i don't like what they've done though. it's too riced out for the amount of work and craft that's been done.

the interior work is good, but from the drawing they have of it the exterior is just plain odd. the paint scheme they're going for, it's just some white wave curving somewhere random. all i'm saying is they should stop making cars look like chinese take-out and make them look more Gemballa.

you can see what they're aiming for, notice the odd graphic:

Gemballa GT:

that's my kind of professional tuning, instead of slapping on dumb wings, they should be inventing new cool ones.

or not.. they are building the car for SEMA.. it has to be flashy and get peoples attention.. thats the whole point of it..

show cars, and SEMA cars don't have the paint jobs cuz they look AMAZING or have a clean look to em, its to grab peoples attention..

i suppose you're right about looking flashy, if you think those rims are flashy then you race tractors!

we'll have to wait and see. you are right about SEMA being all flashy, i guess i didn't realise that's what that show is all about. but that still doesn't contradict inventing something cool and outrageous like they did on the porsche because doing that would probably score more points and give it that signature look simultaneously, as they did the porsche.

those fart cans look damn good in person when that car is flying past you though wink1.gif

Based on the pic that's on their laptop, I'd say they're going for the Veyron look:
