This is going to be a long post with lots of pics..

It's about time you guys and gals met my crew, OTEC (Over the edge customs)

A very sound bunch of guys with some really nice cars, also for the first time I will present pics of TomOTEC's new install (which is frankly astoundingly pretty).

So I got over to what I call Disneyland' around 3:15. Tom wasnt done work yet but being the top dude he is he cut early and I had to move the cars in. I call the place Disneyland because it has every air tool, countless lines, a paint booth and the best pressure washer ever. Also masking tape, blowers, fans.. It is heaven for working on cars.

Anyways thismorning I went out and took off all of the stickers left on the car. They wont be going back, and I can finally reveal why they were there (I had forgotten lmao)




Here is where the stickers began. I forgot my cousin drove into a skate rail gauging the skirt.



So it was time to wash the car to begin work. The washer even has degreasing soap lol.





After this Tom asked me to bring his car in so he could wash it, so I did. And finally got some pics of the install he and I have been working on.

The dash and paint was done by us and the guys at OTEC (inc the screen fibreglass) and the rear install was done at a local place.




Check out his auto shifter, an ebrake thing. Im doing this soon, expect a how to smile.gif







And this is my paint booth I have had free roam in. Note the ceiling extractors and lots of lighting. It also has full drainage.



OK screw this, let's get down to business OTEC style.

Hood off.


Mark it and line it.]



Stop for a scooby snack.



More




And let Tom do the cutting smile.gif lmao




Hmm, that dremel will take all day, time for something with a bit more oomph.



Mmm, holes



In they go.





Hmm, something missing here surely???

T01: i have access to one, i just have no clue what to do in it?!?!

Great work pandy. You should tell the dude to get rid of that tuscani symbolic T and change it into something else. It's not a tuscani, it's a tiburon.

They actually did that at the install place, I dont think they knew the difference.. Anyways we cant argue because they only charged him $600 and that included all the labor and parts (all he had to do was put their logo on his amps and take it to NOPI)

first off, pandy it looks good. great choice..

second DTN: WTF?!!? just cuz its the tuscani T doesn't mean he should change it, who f***ing cares. it looks AMAZING, and not only a great idea, but awesome execution, and original. i cant believe you would even suggest to change it lol

PS: this is SOCKS, i cant f***ing log on my name.

damn.. is that the trunk I punched a hole through to the air below the car? Tom did an EXCELLANT job of it.

And pandy, don't forget where you got those smoked clear corners, the black painted headlights, the RS Escort vents and the Kspec smoked tails.
