RollingStock and PHAT WRAPS joined forces in late 2015 and decided to end the year with a bang with a Christmas giveaway! The giveaway was on a larger scale than RollingStock or PHAT WRAPS had ever embarked on and the hype was just amazing! The entries came flying in through the RollingStock Facebook page, and the competition was run and won! The winner was Kevin, with his immaculate R35 GTR that you see below. Already equipped with a super long list of modifications, this car was no stocker. A well know vehicle in the Sydney scene – this monster was about to be transformed from the Blue Jap tuner style you see below, into something more unique to the country and more familiar to the American crowd!
Below is an insight into the build with photos that show the behind the scenes work from start to finish. RollingStock, PHAT WRAPS and Kevin discussed the options in a huge amount of detail. Wheel renderings were created – colour changes were envisioned – the car was rendered with the wheels on it – and once the details had been locked in and decided upon, the build began.
The end result, as you will see is something we believe is truly breathtaking. A blend of show and go that comes together seamlessly. From the flipping of the vinyl colours to the subtle yet extraordinary colour combinations used throughout the gorgeous Strasse R10 FS wheels. This car has it all and everything seems to look ‘RIGHT’! We at RollingStock love it and would love to hear what you think!
