Congrats on the cover Andy! The photos are amazing. Sometimes it is hard to tell your car from Alex's. Both of which are sick as f**k!

Still, the body kit, BBK, wheels, and overall black and red color scheme are not bad.
I get what you are saying, but you seem to point out everything that is "rice" or not, so stfu. Where is your car featured?! I'm suprised though as nice as your car is Andy that they featured you without having a turbo or sp. Congrats none the less, I love your setup

Thanks for the love man! I was shocked as well when they told me they wanted to have it as a main cover car. You will never see a black car let alone a stock colored black car on the cover of a magazine. I guess there was something about it that compelled them to do it. That's the reason why I went with all the graphics, just to brighten it up as well as to show my sponsors my appreciation for all that they've done.

Andy,
I don't know you but your comments on this forum lead me to believe you are a levelheaded person. I appreciate that. Anyway, I can't believe how good of a job they did with photoshopping the camera rig out. Also, I love your car and with the new setup, it looks insanely hott.

I hear you on this Andy. I'm usually very sensitive to the "rice" factor, but this car screams tasteful, purposeful modification. Even the decals, IMHO, are done well and accentuate the cars features and stock paint nicely.

Intimidation without overstatement. Well done!!

Yep, it is a Sparco Harness bar color matched to Takata green by www.dtmautobody.com. We sell the harness bar too, PM me if you want a quote.

It's a custom rig that was made by Mike Maez. These types of shots are usually called "rig" shot. Most great photographers will have this. Basically you can see that the bar was attached to the hood of my car with suction cups and the camera was mounted at the end of the bar to obtain this shot. After that, photoshop!

^ and good luck trying to get help putting together your "rig." Most photographers are very secretive about it, especially if it's home made.
