Why did you choose this car?
Anthony: "Honestly, I chose this car because 5 years ago it was something new in the market and I loved the lines that came with the car. I never really thought I'd get her to sit where she is now, but truthfully she'll never be complete as I'm always finding ways to challenge myself with the build. Nowadays, it's a car thats looked down upon for it's lack of power and other say lack of style, but I love it. I love hearing " Man that's a tC, dam it's done right" It's a build I appreciate, she's been my daily for 5 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way."
What was the main goal when the build started?
Anthony: "When this build started I was in the phase of, Just coils and plastic dipped wheels. But then I got the feeling that the car deserved more, it deserved to be styled and built as I always imagined. With the help from guys over at Slammered, Little by little, she's constantly changing and will continue to keep getting the envelope pushed!"
Do you have a unique story behind the car or build?
Anthony: "Of course, who doesn't! She was just meant to be go getter from point A to B. Even though she's my daily, she had to get stylized!"
What are your future plans for the car?
Anthony: "To continue to evolve the way it's built!"
Is there anything you would have done differently if you could go back?
Anthony: "Yes, Would go straight to air rather than Springs, smaller springs, coils then air. But it's all part of the game, you learn as you build."
