Mini Countryman S JCW in the Wild Photoshoot

Our new Mini Countryman S JCW is a super fun project car.  When you see these in stock form, you usually think and say, “ehhhhhh”.  But with a little bit of mods in the looks and power department, these become little rockets that can haul the family around.  Equipped with our VR Tuned ECU flash, Quicksilver Exhaust, and ESM Wheels, the Project Car is just starting out!  We have so much more coming down the pipe for this guy.  Dyno tests, more handling parts, more power parts, and style that will make you go blink and scream WANT!  So check out this photoshoot we recently did in the wild with our Mini and let us know what you think!  Comment away :)

Porsche 991 Turbo Roll Bar, Carbon Fiber Bits, and Photoshoot

Our Porsche 991 Turbo is coming along nicely with many new modifications and accent work.  With the new Niche Wheels, Pirelli Tires, and H&R lowering springs, we got our prototype 991 Turbo roll bar completed, powdercoated, and installed.  The bolt in roll bar is designed to allow you to run racing harnesses for track days and help stiffen up the chassis.  The bar is built in 6 pieces to allow for easy installation.  It consists of the roof hoop, B pillar legs, rear seat legs, and harness bar.  These are available on our site here for ordering in a variety of colors.

In addition to the above mods, we also got our tail in gear working on some aesthetic pieces with our in-house carbon fiber shop.  Working with our Project Car and developing new products on it is time consuming.  Using foam to sculpt our designs, we then made several changes to come up with our carbon fiber diffuser.  The rear diffuser is very aggressive but still flows with the vehicles lines.  As a add-on rear piece, it fits nicely over the gray plastic with simple 3M tape.  All carbon fiber, it has a 1×1 weave with a glossy clear coat.  These are in production right now.  Ready for sale however is our carbon fiber OEM intercooler ducts and mirror caps.  These help tie in the rest of the carbon fiber in and out on the 991 Turbo.  The mirror caps are a nice add on that wraps around the mirror exposing some paint color for a subtle contrast.  You can find these here on our site.  The ducts are OEM that have been overlayed with carbon fiber.  We take the stock black ABS plastic ones and use 1×1 carbon weave with a glossy clear coat to make these rear fender pieces pop nicely.

We have more coming including a rear wing that works with the factory hydraulic speed function, front air dam, and some super crazy power parts!  Enjoy this photoshoot taken at Arizona State University!  View all our Porsche 991 Turbo parts here.

Novitec Redefines the Ferrari F458 Speciale

If you’ve been a fan of Italian supercars for any number of years, the name Novitec or Wolfgan Hagedorn will be familiar. For those, less familiar with the company and its creator, Novitec was started in 1989 with the mission to redefine Italian Sports cars. Hagerdorn is based in the heart of car-making country. Stuggart is known for producing revolutionary automotive products, so it makes sense that to revolutionize and icon, you go to the mecca for inspiration.

The Ferrari F430 was an amazing car when it was first released, but the longer it was on the market, the more enthusiasts found things they would add to make it better or more unique. With that Ferrari designed and released the F458 Spider. This was a compilation on technological progress accompanied by design creativity. The F458 is still one of the most popular Ferrari’s on the road and now with the F458 Speciale edition, Ferrari is really trying to capitalize on the popularity. Similar to the F430, a car loses it’s glamour after a while and the owner longs to resurrect it’s awe effect. That’s where Novitec comes in. They take the awesome F458 chassis and morph it into a supercar fantasy.

We’ve recently added the entire Novitec product line for the F458 Ferrari. We will be adding more products in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. If you’re looking to enhance the look and aerodynamics of your F458, Novitec is the perfect company to go with. SHOP Novitec HERE. SHOP Novitec F458 HERE.
