Kid Kustoms : The Roddler for Lebron James |
| DESIGN: |
Kid Kustoms and Lebron James have some similar traits. They are superstars, global icons and both have their name on the Roddler. Having been touted as the next best thing to being pushed, and decked out with all of the finest appointments, it was impossible for King James to pass up the chance to get this one of a kind piece for the heir to his throne. Adored in the Cavaliers Colors, he opted for butter soft leather with custom embroideries, Harman/Kardon's Drive and Play II, custom paint and billet parts galore. Imagine the possibilities in building your ideal model and check out our catalog of kustom features and accessories. With you at the helm, junior should get used to being the envy of the pack.

Robbie Azevedo :: Pacific Coast Customs |
| DESIGN: |
Joe Iacono Joined Project Impression with Robbie Azevedo of Pacific Coast Customs This was Robbies first ever ground up build. It took two years to the week to complete it and everything was completed in house with the exception of paint and upholstery. The all steel car was handcrafted in house where every sheet metal panel was precision shaped or altered to give the vehicle a futuristic, trend setting look. There is over 5,000 hours of total labor in the car to make it become what it is today. Project Impression has picked up numerous nationwide awards. Many of you have seen this amazing truck ...I have a great friendship with Robbie and Pacific Coast Customs, this guy is the REAL deal.

The hit television show RIDES will join with GM to unveil the HHR. It's a new car that will first show itself at The Detroit Auto Show. They'll be rebuilt by four separate top designers, each using four different build teams, all giving their own different take on this mysterious ride that is just now arriving. Why such a variation on a theme? Well, that's the beauty of a concept car; until it's actually in production, it's still something of a workable clay subject, and RIDES will see what a quartet of talent can do, each putting their own spin into a four-of-a-kind reveal, the likes of which the car world has never seen. GM displayed all 4 projects at the 2005 SEMA show in the GM Booth.
