As we cant be everywhere we are always looking to work with like minded companies around the world, having good outlets that can service and supply your brands locally is vital, as we have found out over the last 20 + years it can be risky, but when a company ticks all of the boxes, its a risk worth taking.

One company that has stood out to us for a while has been Auto Performance Aesthetics Centre (APAC) from Maryland, USA, some of the work we have been seeing coming out of their set up has been pretty spectacular, especially the GTR's that do the rounds across various social media feeds, OK so the installation of the Liberty Walk GTR wide body is nothing new but these boys have been hitting the scene from a very different angle, most companies just install the LB over fenders kits as they have been designed and intended, as a riveted over fender, but these boys have taken the over fender craze to a different dimension, which is the main reason they have stood out as they have been blending the kit to the body and if you know your bodywork, you'll understand how difficult that is to pull off, we aren't fans of the LB GTR over fender look for various reasons, but APAC made us take notice of the workmanship and skill its takes to blend a kit like this, they have done a sublime job, and its a kit that looks so much better as a true wide body over a fender add on.

The say quality attracts quality, so you will understand we were pretty thrilled when Derrick the owner reached out to us for possibilities of working together, after a couple of months of discussions Derrick has decided on the purchase and installation of the VAD GTR wide body aero kit for his own personal GTR, to say we are excited is an understatement, as we know what's coming, just looking at the craftsmanship of the LB cars they have already created just wets our whistle.

Derrick base car is a beauty and he is going to keep on enjoying the standard GTR look for the next few weeks whilst the kit is in production and we ship it out, then we can only imagine what they are going to create and we cant wait, the wheels he already has, which happen to be a crazy wide set of RSV forged 3 piece with a concave centre profile.

for all of your VAD needs for the areas of Washington, D.C., Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia, look these guys up, even further afield its worth getting in touch, if you love your car then you'll love what APAC offer and what they can do for you.

When we first got to know Bryce we knew straight away he was very serious about what he wanted, certainly didn't take us long to swept away with his vision, and the plan of his build for the GTR. With the delivery arrival it didn't take him long to start ripping apart his beautiful but stock GTR, within a couple of days the panels were all mocked up to check the fit, finish and what it was going to take to get that desired o.e.m look he desired, with that done and a very hectic army life, the GTR was shipped off to the boys at Auto Ink to assist with their skill set, along with the task of removing the GTR of its o.e.m rear quarter panels, an easy task if you know how.

There are lots of people that have wide body aero kits to various vehicles around the world that don’t see the process of what has to be done to get that wide body to fit, yes there are plenty of videos doing the rounds cutting fenders to fit over fenders, it’s a little different fitting a rear quarter wide body, but Auto Ink knew exactly what it would take, as most of the higher quality body shops would do, it’s a walk in the park for a quality outlet like these guys.

With all the standard panels removed, including the rear quarters, it was time to fit the kit and check out Bryce’s wheel build, and we are pleased to say its been a pleasure watching this beauty take shape, its now time for the car to head off to the guys at Sprayhouse.LLC for the next stage of the process, which is fettling all of the panels and applying the lashings of lush paint.

This is one build that has grabbed our attention from day one, and we can’t wait to see this beast hit the streets, next stop… getting this beauty painted.

 

We have been working hard over the last few months with our composite partners on a few new products, and we are super happy with what we will launch over the next few months, we are updating our Porsche programme, adding the wide body aero for the latest 991R as well as a new set of wide body clothing for the Porsche Cayman, both available in full carbon fibre, the Cayman will have a GRP option too, as we have a feeling the Cayman market will demand a cheaper material, so we can mix it up depending on customers’ requirements.

One product we launched recently was our all new wide body Nissan GTR ICHIBAN aero styling pack, with a hint of GT1, GT3, which is where our inspiration comes from as we love that styling, and yet again we have gone for a full rear quarter over the popular over fender that some seem to favor.

The first kit is heading to the states, Georgia to be exact, where our good friend Bryce Jenkins, who can’t wait to rip his Nissan GTR to pieces, so were pretty excited as this is going to be one spectacular build if his Nissan 350Z is anything to go by, as that was by far the best Rocket Bunny Z build we have seen to date, a bold statement, but a true one, we have yet to see one come remotely close to what Bryce put together, so we wait with anticipation on this up and coming build.
