Default Crazy stuff I saw at Spring Nationals, D.B.... xB's and more

I've lived in Daytona for over 10 years now and this is the first Spring Nats show I've ever been to... Bill (ViolentB) was there with the Metra/Tsunami cars, they had like a third of the display area and the nicest and most extreme cars there...

Here's some of the cooler stuff I saw. First the Scions (no xA's or tC's on display remarkably...)









When I got back out to the parking lot a gaggle of xB's were around my car, Superfa's and some other Scion Dynasty boxes...


Some other shots-

Bill (tall guy) doing some last minute electrical on the Tsunami RX-8


Hot Golf


A4 from Hell


Interesting WRX interior


Nice rack


Wacky shizz in a HEARSE


But the most insane thing was the Metra Civic... Bill and his team were working on it for weeks. It's electric powered and all controls are on one joystick... Look at this thing!


Hope you all dig the pix

Yeah that one was nice and relatively subtle, cool webasto panoramic roof and two-tone,.. classy.
I have quite a few other pix but only so much room on Photobucket, so feel free to post what you got. I bet bill has some dope ones as well...

Donovan, that civic wasn't the one I helped do. the Circuit City Mazda6 ouside with the 12 12" MTX woofers was the one. the civic is bad a$$. Brian Boan painted the civic and the Mazda6 and he is a gifted person. I wish I could draw a striaght line let alone some crazy artwork like that.

it's actually 3-tone. there is a lighter silver stripe between the Thundercloud and the blue. it looks very nice and Bobbi, who is the owner, is a very sweet girl. now if I can just get her to get a headunit...

The hood was carbon with two giant bulges that went right around the turbos, with round inlets the same diameter as the intake... bonkers.

Here are some pics of violent b's, C.C. Mazda 6 that he created, and can you say hello wall of subs, i think there was 12 12's(correct me if im wrong Bill)





The Audiovox xB, with $125,000 worth of audio in the car and notice the amp's hanging from the roof, thats sick.






The Audiobahn xA, very nice rear cargo area or would be audio area now.



One of the coolest things i saw was the JL Audio car. There was no conventional steering wheel, a sub actuated out from the dash and you steer with the sub.
