New ESM 007 Wheels for Vintage Tuners

ESM, like most independent shops, started out small and tried to cover any and every aftermarket product. In fact when they started they were called EUROSTOP and sold everything from aftermarket body kits to lowering springs. It wasn’t until 2006 when they moved buildings that they really found their niche in the aftermarket industry. They saw a need for more vintage or as they say, “old skool” wheels for European model cars. These wheels are for those OG tuners out there that want to keep the classic look of their car from the wheels up. With that, we just added some new stock to our site. Check out all the gold, matte black and silver wheels you can handle. They have fitments from 15″- 18″. They started out trying to please everyone and learned what they did well, and that’s vintage wheels.

Check all their wheels out HERE!

Candy Coated GramLight 57DR"s

FRS’s, BRZ’s, and GT86′s were basically made for the aftermarket world. With the millions of wheels options there are out there today, some owners are still finding themselves with a similar look as another tuner. For example, you see a lot FRS with the GramLight 57DR wheels. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but even the color variations seem to becoming redundant. We see a lot of the Gun Blue and Matte Black. Again, we aren’t saying it’s a bad thing. People are just having to go even further, out of the aftermarket box, to be unique.

That’s exactly what our sales guy Sean’s (sean@vividracing.com ext. 226) customer did with his GramLight’s. He ordered them with a silver base and powder coated them with a Candy Translucent Teal. Now this FRS is a neck breaking assassin. Whether you like the car or not, your head will whip to get a double take of the candy coated goodness. 

What do you think of the Candy Teal? Let us know in the comment section below or on Facebook or Instagram.

Even when you love what you do, Monday’s are rough. What better way to start off the week than with a little car porn, courtesy of ADV.1.

Their wheels are made by enthusiast’s, for enthusiast’s.

We’ve been featuring some of their product pictures over the past couple months. Not only do they have sexy wheels, but their photoshoots are ridiculous.

But in this particular instance, you’re not only getting great pictures to drool over, you’re getting a video to set on repeat for the rest of the day. Other wheel brands can take notes on how to market wheels from ADV.1.

If you were to dream up a luxury hybrid, chances are, the features would be similar to those of the Lexus CT200-H. This hybrid crossover is the hybrid dreams are made of. Now the stock version looks alright, but the aftermarket industry has been good to this particular model. This CT owner has been upgrading he ride for a while now. If you’re on the East coast you may have seen his whip out and about, or cleaning up at shows out there.

Here’s a list of mods that our sales guy Arsha (arsha@vividracing.com) has been working with him on. The next upgrade will be some Lexus OEM Illuminated Door Sills and Wheel Spacers. If you’re at Wekfest East 2013 you can see this ride in person.

First GramLight 57Xtreme SP-Spec for FRS/BRZ in US

These are the first FR/ BRZ/ GT86 fitment to hit the US. This customer worked with our sales guy Sean (sean@vividracing.com ext. 226) to make his GT86,  a thing of history. Although the wait period of these Gram Light 57Xtreme SP-Spec’s  was seven months, the owner says, “They were worth the wait!” We posted pictures of these 19×8.5 and 19×9.5 wheels, last week, on our Facebook and Instagram feed. They got a huge response, due to the fact that most people were wondering if we knew, there were pieces cut out of the wheels? The wheels are rare because of the extra machining, that aids in weight reduction. We think it just makes them look bad ass!

Tell us what you think of these rare wheels, in the comment section below or on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

V3 Cobb Accessport - What You Need to Know

Cobb has been  a trailblazer in the tuning industry for years, but this new V3 Accessport is the cream of the crop. Here are the features you need to know about the latest Cobb Accessport.

1. Larger, Full Color, Higher Resolution Screen

They took the feedback from users and made the screen larger and easier on the eyes and more space for monitoring. They added full text help menus, multi-gauge layouts, full map descriptions and more. With this new port there will be no need to run back to the laptop to monitor the progress. 

2. Customizable Multi-Gauge Display

Want gauges? No problem. The V3 now supports up to six, fully customizable, gauges with 1/1000 resolution. Monitor all the parameters you want and customize each layout for street, strip or track.

3.In Vehicle Mount, with On/Off Switch

There is nothing we like more to see than an AP peeking over the dash. With the on/off button, universal mount and vehicle specific options, there is no reason not to run your AP in-vehicle.

4.Faster and Easier to Use with a Familiar Face

Once again they tapped into the voices of the customers and came up with this next feature. This statement from Cobb, “Use your same maps, monitor your same parameters, and troubleshoot your same codes, but now with more. More speed, more memory, more map storage, more live gauges, and more troubleshooting help.”

5.  Interchangeable Faceplates

What’s an aftermarket car without customization. You are now able to aestetically make your V3 match the color of your style.  The new V3 comes with 2 interchangeable bezels, blue and grey, or put your own touches on one.

We want to give a shout out to Cobb for the updated feature info.

Saabaru with Rare Status Racing Seats

This has been a big year for Status Racing. Since the new year they have discontinued the carbon kevlar seats to make room for the new honeycomb, red and blue colored carbon seats. Status hasn’t released any other details, but we are fairly certain they won’t stop with those three. The other big announcement from Status was the FIA approval of their Status Ring GT-X seat. As they put it, now “medium-husky” weekend racers can race in style and be FIA approved.

Like most, when we’re bored we waste time on Instagram looking at the latest from vendors, fans and enthusiasts. Last night we came across this Saabaru 9-2X with a rare set of our carbon kevlar Status Seats. As you might have guessed the Saabaru is a badge engineered version of the second generation Subaru Impreza. 2005 and 2006 were the only two years it was retailed here in the states. With that this sleek brainchild has been outfitted for shows from head to toe, and the interior is no exception.

See more pictures of this Saabaru and other customer cars in out Customer Submitted Gallery.
