Just got back from SEMA. What a week! Met with some wonderful sponsors of the vehicle and had an absolute blast!!! What an incredible time meeting with superstar vendors, manufacturers, celebrities, and VIPs of the scene.
2011 Updates :
Has been a crazy year with the vehicle. It spent almost as much time in other's hands as it did in mine as it was shipped across the east coast by its latest sponsor (Sony Mobile). Destinations included the Carolinas, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, and more.
Full Sony Sponsorship. Custom trunk work performed by In Car Electronics (Gaithersburg, MD). Amps, subs, speakers, latest in dash nav unit, suede, LEDs, etc. Used on the East Coast as the Sony Mobile Electronics Show/Demo Vehicle.
Sponsorship from STATUS Racing. Custom Alcantara/Leather with BMW Tan Stitching & Carbon Backs (weigh 12 pounds). Featured on various automotive websites
