Rebel Rook 911

2015 butzi gear bill fikse 996 c4sRebel Rook 911 – 996 C4S RWD – #rebelrook911

Our West Coast partner, Bill, has one beautiful, black 996 C4s. Bill has done some amazing things with his car. His passion as a do-it-yourselfer is truly inspiring. From the custom vinyl stickers he designs, hand cuts and applies to his beloved 911, the rear wheel drive conversion he completed in his home garage, to the high level of detailing and maintenance that he performs on his own… Bill is a testament to the true Porsche 911 owner and enthusiast. Keep it up my friend, she looks perfect. Enjoy!

Nessie – B8 Audi S4 #executivestance

This project was built in conjunction with our friend Matthew and our partners at The Wheel Lab & Rotiform Wheels. The goal was “simple” (lol)… to build a performance driven car that was aggressively and more importantly “properly” fitted on 20s.

So, 20×10″ Rotiform wheels wrapped in 265s were placed on all 4 corners. Lowering was achieved with H&R Performance coilovers and it all came together with some serious, yet very delicate, fitment, fender rolling, liner modifications (which are reversible 😉 and fine ride height testing and tuning.

In the end we have a fully functional, aggressively fitted, enjoyable sport/luxury sedan, a style we call, “Executive Stance”.

Engine: 3.0T, AWE Tuning exhaust

Suspension: H&R Performance Coilovers

Brakes: OEM (excellent btw)

Wheels: 20×10 Rotiform Concave

Jettatwofive – VW Jetta 2.5 SE

Edwin came from the world of MK3s. He always rode low, but after selling his MK3 GTI VR6 he decided he wanted something a bit more practical. He found this MK6 Jetta 2.5 and gave it a go! While practical, he wanted some “low” back in his life, some style, but he did not want to risk damaging his new car by bottoming out everywhere. We sourced Edwin an Air Lift Performance suspension kit and installed it with an ultra clean hinged trunk set up allowing access to his spare well and tools. Edwin was more than pleased and is loving his new ride.

Mike contacted us regarding a killer set of wheels for his ultra-clean Lapis Blue 996TT. He dreamed about one day fitting a set of BBS E88’s on his car, but feared they would be a bit out of his budget. After discussing a few wheel options and color schemes I mentioned to Mike that I could spec and build him a set of his dream wheels for a bit more than the other options – he was sold! The custom built, gold BBS E88’s truly tie the car together and add that big something that it needed. With the addition of our Motorsport Stud Kit and new 235/315 Toyo R888s power is thrown down to the ground and things get exciting pretty quickly! =)
