  Thoroughly customized in and out for show purposes and driveable for the street. Almost nothing left uncustomized. This car turns heads wherever I go, even now although it was built in 2005, at a time when full interior customization was rare and even now, most enthusiasts don"t fully strip the interior for customization. It was built with the utmost detail in mind in the SoCal showcar tradition. This project took home Best In Class Audi in its first show (represented by all the major car crews and a stiffer competition) and was featured in Car Audio and Electronics when it was in circulation. The cars featured in the magazine have the best audio system builds out there but since most cars are either built for audio-competition purposes or show-aesthetic purposes, it"s rare to see one featured having won in aesthetic car competition as well.  This one had both. In short, this is the real deal, not a wannabe.  Any mod-enthusiast knows that trial and error goes into a build like this and painstaking attention to detail was exercised to get everything to fit together, resulting in this one of a kind project/customized car. After the Car Audio and Electronics photoshoot, it"s been garaged with minimal driving since. It truly was rarely driven evidenced by the shine and gloss of the paint job. The shine is the same as you see in the photos taken in 2006. In fact, it wasn"t driven from 2006-2008 except for oil changes and smogging. I"m selling because I"m moving out of state and after much thought, did not have the heart to turn it into a daily driver. As any customizer knows, you can"t enjoy it when it"s garaged and can"t help worry about damage and vandalism when it"s out. I don"t have the time to put it in more shows either. Thus the best option is to sell.
