very issue is loaded with some of the hottest rides around, but we pack even more heat for our end-of-year issue. So read on to get your automotive fill… First up is the beautiful Arianny Celeste, who you may know as the co-host of Overhaulin’, international cover model, and of course the UFC. We recently teamed up with Arianny and Rugged Ridge and helped design a special Jeep JK, which will be auctioned off for SEMA Cares. The proceeds of the auction will be going to Childhelp, which is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child abuse. We also teamed up with NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez to transform his stock Jeep into his perfect So Cal beach-ready ride. Speaking of teams, we caught up to the dynamic duo of Ice-T and Coco, who are no strangers to the pages of DUB, and got to check out their updated and modified fleet of rides in New York. The same, but different are a pair of Nissan GT-Rs that we were lucky to have the chance at featuring. One belongs to a proud member of the U.S. Air Force who built his own unique version exactly how he imagined. The second was put together by Miami-based Exclusive Motoring who
FINANCIAL CONTROLLER Kiani Tran-Boutros | kiani@dubmagazine.com
were given free reign to build their own vision of a beastly GT-R by the owner. Restoring a classic ride and being able to gift it to your father is a great feeling and LPZ INC did just that with the restoration of their familyowned 1971 Chevy Chevelle. It’s a mixture of old and new which resulted in a perfect build to commemorate the shop owner’s dad. Keg Media is known for their elaborate vehicle renderings that are the basis for many magazine features, but when it came to owner Robbie Bryant’s own ride, he went a different route and dressed up an Audi A5 with one of the most amazing custom trunks we’ve ever seen. Oregon’s 503 Motoring has been making noise in the Pacific Northwest for the past several years. We recently spoke to the driving force behind them and he gave us the lowdown on what he was up to, the future of the aftermarket scene and some advice on how to make it in the business. And there you have it…another issue loaded with all your favorite things – hot rides and mods! Happy Holidays and enjoy Issue 96!

THE HULK
FLIP MODE Von Miller is a beast on the Gridiorn and I’m lucky to have him on my Fantasy Football league. I’m all about his A-Mode if it gets me the necessary points to win that week. But in terms of his rides, I prefer his B-Mode better because that BMW i8 is seriously killing the game right now in terms of looks and efficiency. It’s currently my dream ride and I’ve also been a fan of it since it was just a concept car. But that dude is lucky to have the i8 and a sick Camaro. James P. Via email
I can’t get enough of everything that Liberty Walk creates, but I’m really feeling the green Challenger with the Liberty Walk widebody kit. That Challenger is just mean! But if it were my ride, I’d murder it out to make it even more aggressive. Hopefully one day I can have a ride that’s worthy of a Liberty Walk kit!
Miller’s A-Mode is about focus and aggressiveness, while his B-Mode is more laidback, which is what his two rides are. The Camaro flaunts all sorts of powerful modes, while his sleek i8 is his ride of choice when he’s ready to relax and just chill. But one thing is for sure – we wouldn’t want to meet A-Mode on the field come Sundays!
Raul S. Via email The green exterior for #ProjectHulk is what makes it so unique (in addition to its Liberty Walk widebody kit). If it were any other color, it wouldn’t be nicknamed Hulk. And a Challenger like this needs to grab your attention and there’s no better way than a bright and bold hue. But we’re with you Raul, it would have looked pretty badass murdered-out, too!
FUR-RARI
LOVE AND CARS
Not sure I agree with Marcell Dareus’ choice to do up his Ferrari like he did, but I give the guy credit for being original. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a velvet wrap, but I’d be intrigued to see and feel it up close. Those Savini Wheels are aight, though, and they don’t match the flashy style of his ride. Guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Dwayne A. Via email
My girl is a huge fan of VH1’s “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” and when my Issue 95 came in the mail, she stole it from me to see what Hazel-E was rolling in. She’s always ranting how Hazel-E is her favorite on the series and really enjoyed reading the feature. I, on the other hand, feasted my eyes on that Maserati! She’s crazy to think that a Panamera looks better than a Maserati and I think she made the wrong mistake on her chosen ride. JR24365 Via email Hazel-E is definitely an up-and-coming star and is creating her empire as we speak, with the finale of Season 2 of her show revealing more about her growing brand. As for her ride, we have pictures of her with her Porsche Panamera Sport and have to say that it does give the Maserati a run for its money. Check it out online at www.dubmagazine.com! 18 | DUB MAGAZINE 2015
The great thing about car culture is that there’s something out there for everyone! Marcell Dareus just so happens to like the more flashy things in life and isn’t afraid to dress up an exotic like a Ferrari in over-the-top mods. And like he said in the feature, he wanted something different, but didn’t want to buy a new ride and that’s exactly what he got with his “Fur-rari!”

AUTOMOTIVE AUTONEWSWIRENEWS
JAY LENO PRANKS UBER PASSENGERS As a promotional campaign for “Jay Leno’s Garage” web series, Jay disguised himself as an Uber driver to give a few passengers the best ride they’ve ever had! Altough it started as a web series, it’s now on CNBC. The primetime show will have eight, hour-long episodes and Jay Leno will host them all. Just like the web series, the show will feature an array of cars, including supercars, classic cars, restoration projects, road tests, investments and more – further demonstrating Leno’s passion for all things automotive.

PORSCHE MISSION E Porsche introduced its first all-electrically powered four-seat sports car at September’s Frankfurt show, The concept car features the first 800-volt drive system and unmistakable design that only Porsche can create. It boasts more than 600 hp, all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering and a 0-62 mph acceleration time of just under 3.5 seconds. Porsche claims that it will take about 15 minutes to reach an 80 percent charge and be able to go 310 miles on its all-electric range. So far it’s only a concept, but it is most likely a good indicator of what a next-generation Porsche Panamera could look like.
RANGE ROVER EVOQUE CONVERTIBLE Land Rover will debut its Range Rover Evoque Convertible in November, but they’re already putting a few examples on the streets of London. But instead of the actual production version, they’ve decided to park six, life-size wireframe replicas right outside of luxury stores like Harrods, Bulgari and Burberry – basically places where you’d expect to see production versions parked outside. The sculptures were created by Land Rover’s design team out of aluminum and painted in various bold hues to grab the attention of all that pass by. Land Rover actually did similar campaigns for its hardtop Evoque version in places like Paris and at the Geneva Motor Show. 22 | DUB MAGAZINE 2015

The Invo is an ultra-high performance street tire that provides a blend of performance, ride comfort and quality. The Invo tire line-up was specifically developed for staggered sized applications commonly found on luxury and high-performance vehicles. State-of-the-art computer engineering and specialized digital testing equipment were used to produce a tire that reduces perceived road noise and provides a comfortable ride, so you can hear what really matters – conversations, music, or the exhaust note of your car.

obbie Bryant is known for his detailed vehicle renderings that mock up exactly what a finished custom ride will look like, but he’s also an avid car enthusiast. Although many of his renderings are of lifted trucks and Jeeps, he still uses his creativity and applies them to a variety of vehicles, including his own Audi A5. “I’ve always loved the look of a laid out Audi. I live in a small town and we don’t have Audi dealers near us so I had no idea they made an A5 coupe until I kept seeing them roll around when my family and I were on a Christmas vacation in Florida. I then told my wife that I wanted to get

one and fix it up for my daily driver and take it to SEMA,” Bryant details. When he finally got it, he quickly looked to the internet for inspiration. “I did tons of research online and looked at Google images for Euro-styled cars. I usually always build lifted SEMA trucks and this Euro scene was really new to me,” he reveals. With a sleek and stylish Euro look for his Audi in mind, Bryant knew right off the bat that he wanted to order a Rieger Tuning RS5 body kit and exhaust from Germany. He also started out his renderings with a black and bronze theme, and stuck with it until the end. Another must-have product for his build was Accuair’s new air suspension kit made just for the Audi B8 platform. “The suspension is a work for art. It’s the Accuair full air suspension with the iLevel that can be controlled from my iPhone. We used
46 | DUB MAGAZINE 2015

Seamless air tanks from Specialty Suspension and Viair Stealth black air compressors, with all of the air suspension done up in copper hard line. It was installed by Drew from Dorbritz Designs and the audio and custom trunk install was done by Jake at Garage Werks - both in Plano, TX.” Nicknamed DISTILD, the Audi boasts a slew of mods, including an elaborate trunk set up that looks like a distillery. “Since when something is distilled, it changes its composition, and that was exactly my plan,” he adds. To do some of the work, Bryant enlisted the help of his buds over at Complete Customs in Texas, to help create a Keg Media-worthy ride that would make its grand debut at the 2014 SEMA Show, including painting the body kit, installing it and the grille.
TECH SPECS: AUDI A5 SUSPENSION • Accuair Suspension B8 eLevel full air ride kit w/ iLevel • 2 Viair Stealth series black compressors • Specialty Suspension seamless air tanks powdercoated w/ Prismatic Powders US Golden Bronze to match wheels • Copper hardlines WHEELS & TIRES • 20x10.5 Niche Forged 3-piece Misano wheels powder coated w/ Prismatic Powders US Golden Bronze and matte metallic black • Nitto Motivo 255/35R20 tires
A set of three-piece 20” Niche Forged Misano wheels accentuate its European style and are wrapped in Nitto Motivo tires. Bryant also opted to install R1 Concepts brake rotors with carbon pads to complete the look behind the wheels and provide increased stopping power. The Audi’s performance was improved thanks to an Injen cold air intake and a custom tune by APR. “When we took it to the SoWo (Southern Worthersee) show in Helen, GA we took it up into the curvy mountain roads and it handled great. It took corners like it was on rails and
had plenty of power!” Inside, a P3 Cars digital gauge was integrated into the dash vent and the audio system was upgraded to include a 10” Alpine Type - R sub with an Alpine PDX amplifier powered by a Kinetik battery. “The public loves the car and it’s probably the most shared Audi on Instagram. Profiles with more than 2 million followers have shared it multiple times. As my first Euro build, I wasn’t sure how people would accept it, but at SoWo it got Top 50 out of a couple thousand cars. Not too bad for my daily driver!”

t’s been a minute since we’ve checked in with rapper-turned-actor Ice-T and his voluptuous wifey Coco (Issue 34 back in May 2006, to be exact). Last time we featured them, he was rolling in a 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL 55 equipped with a staggered set of 20” Lorinser LM6 255/30R20 front and 305/25R20 rear Continental ContiSportContact 2 tires - courtesy of F-1 Motoring in New Jersey. When riding in their SL, people took notice of the dynamic duo thanks to its carbon fiber SLR-style hood and GT Factory Diablo vertical door kit. A Renntech chip lets the SL 55 handle anything the volatile streets of NYC dishes out. The interior was dressed in a custom red and black suede, with “Ice-T” and “Coco” stitched in the headrests and featured a few luxury mods like chrome accents, carbon fiber dash, doors, steering wheel and a stick shift knob. To complete his ride, Ice enlisted the help of Signature Audio of Scottsdale, AZ to enhance the system with Boston Acoustics speaker components and two Boston Acoustics GT-24 amps, in addition to a single JL Audio 8W3 sub under the passenger’s side kick panel. The shop also converted the SL’s navigation screen to display video from a six-disc Clarion VCZ625 DVD changer.

The SL 55 takes on New York with 20” Lorinser LM6 wheels, 20x9 up front and 20x11 in the rear, and Continental ContiSportContact 2 255/30R20 front and 305/25R20 rear tires.

hanks to the UFC, model and TV show host Arianny Celeste has the career of her dreams. As one of the first UFC Octagon girls, she’s been with the sport since 2006 and has seen it grow over the years into the wildly popular combat sport it is today. “It’s the fastest growing sport in the world,” she says. ”It’s been such a roller coaster ride traveling with the company and growing with the company. There are fights all over the world and it’s amazing to be a part of it.” Celeste has been featured on countless magazine covers, had numerous sponsorships, commercials and “memories to last a lifetime.” It’s also allowed her to become a model, something the 5’6” Celeste never thought was in her cards. “The UFC has just really opened a lot of opportunities for me,” the exotic brunette bombshell admits. One of those opportunities is partnering with DUB and Rugged Ridge for a special SEMA Cares Jeep build that will be auctioned off at BarrettJackson for charity. “I wanted a fun and creative way to give back and I heard about SEMA Cares. I envisioned the Jeep to look like a beast and I was very hands-on with everything, from the vinyl wrap, wheels and tires and even down to the stitching on the leather seats, which were all picked by me.”
“As one of the more popular figures in both the world of mixed martial arts and in the automotive industry through her involvement with the "Overhaulin'" TV series, Arianny's great personality, strong resonating persona and style was a perfect match for both our parent brand Omix-ADA, and our Rugged Ridge product lines!” says Henk Van Dongen, Director of Marketing for Rugged Ridge. “She delivered what we anticipated and then some! We weren’t surprised that the design captured her own unique style offering a tough and intriguing look, just-right stance and captivating presence!” Celeste particularly likes its lift and red details throughout the interior and exterior. She wanted “monstrous tires,” opting for 37x12.50R20 Nitto Mud Grapplers, Dropstars wheels and a Baer big brake kit. She also made sure to help choose mods that were eye catching and went with the Rugged Ridge body armor and Avery Dennison

Brushed Steel vinyl wrap. “I was so happy with the way it came out,” she mentions. “It’s my dream Jeep! Driving in it was so amazing, and sounded badass!" The custom Rockford Fosgate system featured their 8" Wakeboard Tower Speakers, 10" Slim Power T1 Subwoofer and their amplifiers and component speakers. And thanks to the UFC, she’s also now the co-host of the automotive reality TV show “Overhaulin’” and she’s loving every second of it. “I was excited to be on TV as a host. That was one of my career goals.” She also hopes to expand her acting career in the near future, but is more than happy that she’s still one of the main UFC Octagon ring girls. But in the beginning, she was a little apprehensive of the sport because she didn’t know much about it. “I wasn’t fully educated with the sport, so I was a bit scared of it at first,” she goes on. “But after working with the company for a few months, I saw the dedication 66 | DUB MAGAZINE 2015
DUB MAGAZINE 2015 | 67
and skills that were needed to be a fighter and I became a huge fan.” Now, she’s acquainted with the many facets of the UFC and admits that her favorite fighter is BJ Penn. “I love the old school fighters,” Celeste reveals. “I miss the early years!” Expect to see more of Arianny Celeste as she continues to be a part of the UFC and her career as a television personality takes off!

I COMPARE MY BENTLEY GT TO SITTING IN YOUR LIVING ROOM
GOING 200 MPH ON YOUR COUCH.” – ICE-T
82 | DUB MAGAZINE 2015
I
ce-T and his wife Coco have been known to push some of the most luxurious rides around NYC streets, and his current car game is on point. Boasting a motorized six-car garage that houses three rides on the first level and then hides three others right below, the avid car enthusiast has learned over the years that it’s not about a car’s model year, but rather its modifications. “Once you start customizing cars, they don’t have a year to them,” the rapper/rocker/actor explains. “They start to turn into something
different. Doing so much aftermarket stuff to it makes them like a new car.” This is exactly the case with the prized possession in his garage – a 2005 Bentley Continental GT, but now boasts a few changes like an Onyx Concept body kit with lowering module, one-off Candy Apple paint scheme, Fondmetal wheels and Toyo Proxes tires, bespoke interior and a Hamann rear carbon fiber wing. “That’s actually one of the first Bentley GTs that came out,” Ice relays, adding that he got on the waiting list when it was first announced. “I get more compliments on the car than any
others and people actually think it’s a 2016 or something. It’s one of the best cars ever made. I compare my Bentley GT to sitting in your living room going 200 mph on your couch. It’s a big, heavy ride unlike a sports car and it’s so solid.” The other treasure in his fleet is the Mercedes-Benz SL55, that we featured back in Issue 34, with a widebody Prior-Design Black Series kit, Forgiato wheels wrapped in Nitto tires (which he drove in the the 2011 Bullrun Rally). Coco’s favorite ride is their Range Rover Sport Autobiography. According to Ice, it’s super fast

and holds up on The Big Apple’s streets, which are filled with potholes. “That thing takes the ‘F’ off; it’s an amazing little car.” Other rides sitting in his futuristic garage include a Fisker Karma, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce Ghost. Being the car guy that he is, Ice usually lowers his cars because he wants them sitting just right and always throws on a set of custom wheels. Living in New York, which is notorious for its gigantic potholes, he has a few sets of spare wheels stashed away for all of his rides, just in 84 | DUB MAGAZINE 2015
case he blows a tire and damages the wheel. “Customized wheels take a long time to fix and I don’t have that much time,” he says. “Plus, I can switch them out to give my cars a totally different, new look.” To aid in his car needs, Ice has been working with Joe Salafia of Action Tire since he first landed in New York City 15 years ago for a part on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” “I looked far and wide for somebody who could really do my cars correctly and thankfully, I ran into Joe,” he admits,
mentioning that at the time, he had a Ferrari and a custom Benz that kept getting blown out tires. “He was fixing up cars for guys from the NY Giants and other athletes and stood behind his work. When you have a custom car, you’re like a slave to the customizer, but Joe and I have been in a solid, good relationship for a while now.” Content with his current lineup, Ice does admit that he’s always looking at new cars, but won’t be in the market for something new for a while. As far as his dream ride, he’d love to

one day get behind the wheel of a supercar, but isn’t ready to drop a million dollars on such a purchase. “If you’re going to spend that much money, you want to be able to do it easily,” he says. “As a car person, there’s always some sh*t that’s unattainable. Although I’d like to be able to easily buy a Koenigsegg or Porsche 918, there’s something to be said about working hard to getting the things you want in life.” And working hard is something Ice is no stranger to. Starting out in West Coast rap, he transitioned into an actor at a point when hiphop was moving away from gangster rap and has had a leading role on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” in addition to a popular reality TV series with his wife Coco and now a talk show with her. If that wasn’t enough, he’ll also be welcoming a new addition to his family by the end of the year. “I’m excited for our daughter,” he proclaims. “At this point in my life, there’s not much you can do to excite me. Everybody’s happy. We even have custom-made baby car seats to match each of our cars.”
Their Onyx Concept fitted Bentley sits tough on 22” Fondmetal STC-10 wheels with Toyo Proxes tires.

ark Sanchez may play football on the East Coast, but he’s a Southern California boy at heart. Currently residing in Philadelphia, PA, for the season as the backup quarterback for the Eagles, the fan favorite Sanchez loves to soak up Cali rays during the off-season in his Jeep Wrangler JK. We spent the day with USC’s former quarterback before the current NFL season and learned that despite all the fame, he’s a humble, laid-back guy who loves the beach, his dog and his Jeep. “The Jeep is great; It’s a cross between a convertible and a pickup for me,” Sanchez explains. “It’s a great ride for living at the beach in California because the weather is always nice and I can keep the top down. I have a chocolate English Labrador, Oso, that rides with me and he loves it. I’m usually driving around with a bag of footballs and other training equipment and the Jeep makes it easy to throw my gear in the back and take off.”

He linked up with us here at DUB Magazine, via a mutual friend, to help him add a few things to the Jeep and give it a little more swag. Although he left most of the mods up to DUB, he did choose the Arctic digital camo pattern for the wrap. “It’s unique and looks great. My nephew, Nico, thinks it looks like something out of Minecraft.” He also requested new rims and tires, and went with set of TIS 535B wheels and Nitto Trail Grappler tires. Another highlight for Sanchez is the Smittybilt front winch, which he mentions can pull him or someone else out “of a jam on the beach.” Completely blown away when he first saw his upgraded Jeep, it’s become his daily driver when he’s in Cali, especially when he’s heading to offseason training and workouts or to have a chill day at the beach. “It really went from a basic Jeep to a California beach machine,” he admits. “The audio was completely upgraded and it looked much better lifted with the upgraded tires and rims.”

downs, completions and completion percentage. I’d like to improve on those achievements and do whatever it takes to get to the playoffs. I’ve been one win away from a Super Bowl two times now. It’s been right there in front of me. I really want an opportunity to play in and win a Super Bowl. That’s what drives me every day. What do you do in the off-season to get away from the pressures of playing in the NFL? Best case scenario, the off-season doesn’t start until mid February – that means we are playing in the Super Bowl. But generally speaking, I try to take some time off right at the beginning of the off-season to get away and decompress a little bit. The season is all focus and grind, so when you get a chance for a break, it feels good to blow off a little steam and relax. How’s playing college football different from the NFL? College is different because all of the guys on the team are pretty much the same age and are going through very similar experiences. In the NFL, guys are at various stages of life and in their careers. Take a look at any NFL locker room and you have young rookies that are single, wideeyed and in their early 20s. At the same time, you have 10 year veteran players, who are married with kids and playing for their third team. Not everyone is at the same stage in their lives and, as a quarterback, it is your job to bring everyone together and create a unified group that can succeed together. Then there is the speed and overall ability of the players themselves. When you think about it, the guys on the field in the NFL were the absolute
98 | DUB MAGAZINE 2015
best players on their college team. That means, there are no soft spots out there; everyone you face was an all-star or All-American player. You have to step up your game and preparation becomes critical to your success because the talent level and speed are so elevated. What can fans expect from you this season? I’m going to compete to be the quarterback for this team and help us win as many games as possible. It was a new offense for me last year, but I feel that I was able to grow in the system and now I’m ready to succeed in Coach Kelly’s uptempo offense. The goal is simple, win. We have to stack up enough wins to get into the playoffs. For me personally, it will be to build off of last year. We set franchise records on offense last year, including points scored, passing yards, first

I really like the ocean and I try to get down to the beach as much as possible during the offseason. My dad has always taken us fishing and I try to get out on the water with him during the off-season. I love to fish, both with rod and reel and spear fishing. This summer we traveled to Cabo San Lucas with my dad and won a marlin tournament, which was a lot of fun. I also go hunting with my dad and my brothers when we can all get some time off.
I’m not sure if I’d consider myself a foodie, but I love eating at great restaurants. I’ve been around some great restaurants while playing in New York/New Jersey and Philadelphia. I have an appreciation for the way a chef puts together a restaurant concept and then delivers a great meal and an experience for the customer. I’ve had a chance to meet and eat with some great chefs like Jose Garces, Mario Batali, Bruno Serato, Michael Mina and my friend from Nobu that recently passed away, Shin Tsujimura. Then I get back home and get started with my training. I think most folks would be surprised at how much work goes into the off-season. I do a lot of preventative maintenance work on my body to help avoid injury and I build strength that can be lost over the course of a season. I also work a lot on my core, using specialized workouts and yoga. At the same time, I watch all of the tape from the previous season to evaluate the good and the bad. It makes for pretty long days that sometimes run about 12 hours.

I also try to train with teammates for about a week during the off-season; usually a few weeks before training camp. We get together to watch film and work on the field to gain some continuity on the more technical pieces of the offense. Before you know it, it’s time to report to camp and chase that Lombardi trophy one more time.
they were great people who loved the Trojans and had embraced me as the USC quarterback. There were a couple of Jets fans that took on the same look while I was in New York. They wore luchador masks and held the “Viva Sanchez” signs as well. I know my mom met them at a few of the games and had a blast.
What’s the craziest/weirdest fan story? There have been lots of interesting encounters with fans. I remember back at USC that there was a strong contingent of Hispanic fans that would come to games in luchador gear with “Viva Sanchez” signs. They would wear luchador masks and cheer like mad men at the Coliseum. I had a chance to meet them after one of our games and
Then there was a time on vacation that I came across some Jets fans on a remote beach in Mexico. I was on vacation, but still throwing and training on the beach. I was going through my workout on an out-of-the-way beach that you could only reach by boat. There were very few tourists there and even fewer American tourists. Then, out of nowhere as I was going through

my workout, a young boy and his father walked up and said, “Hey, aren’t you Mark Sanchez?” I looked up and laughed because I didn’t think anyone would ever spot me working out at such a remote location. Turns out they were big Jets fans from New York also on vacation. We took a couple of pictures and I threw a few passes to the young guy. They were great people. We heard that you do a lot of charity work, which foundations do you support and can you detail why they’re so important to you? I enjoy working in the community, especially with young people. In Philadelphia I’m part of Community Monday, and each week we collaborate with a local organization to support young people. I’ve had an opportunity to meet some great kids through Children’s Hospital Philadelphia, Ronald McDonald House, Habitat for Humanity, Philadelphia Horticultural Society and Eagles Youth Partnerships. In California, I’ve had a longstanding relationship with Danny Hernandez and the Hollenbeck Youth Center in East Los Angeles. I connected with the HYC during my USC days. Danny and the kids have always been so supportive of me and I’m proud to have been part of organization over the years. I also have worked with a number of charitable groups in Orange County, including Orangewood, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), Caterina’s Club, Children’s Hospital Orange County and Food for Kids in Long Beach. I think it’s important to use any platform I’ve been blessed with to help others around me. Every time I’m in the community I’m inspired by the kids and it reminds me to keep a perspective on life and to truly value what is most important.

503 Motoring’s new showroom
WORDS: KRISTIE BERTUCCI PHOTOS: COURTESY OF 503 MOTORING
T
im Walbridge, owner of 503 Motoring in Beaverton, OR, has always had a passion for cars. At 14, he saved up enough money and bought his first car (a VW bug), rolled it into his parents driveway and has been hooked ever since. Over the years, he’s worked in all facets of the automotive industry, from sales to manufacturing to auto body, but decided to finally take the plunge and open his own shop in 2001, after he grew tired of how customers were being treated and taken advantage of at his current job. Almost 15 years later, Tim has grown 503 Motoring into one of the most respected shops because of their stellar customer service and quality work. Read on to find out what makes 503 Motoring a premier shop for all your custom needs.
110 | DUB MAGAZINE 2015
What were the early years of 503 Motoring like? I was already doing mods and upgrades behind the scenes at various jobs and then I found out that I was going to be a dad. Well, I figured that if I didn’t do this now, I’d never get another chance. I couldn’t make any more money at my current job because I was already the highest paid nonmanager employee there, so I started doing window tinting on the side out of my garage. That year I went to SEMA and found out about paint protection film. I was intrigued, so I started learning how to do that as well. After I returned from the show I figured now it was time, so in the span of 45 days, I bought a house, quit my job and started doing 503 Motoring full-time. In the beginning I would hustle my services at local

dealers in Portland until they gave me a shot and for the first few years that was my main income. Now, almost 15 years later, we have a total of 13,000-square-feet including a new dealership business. One of the biggest questions I get asked is, “When did you know you were ready to take the leap and quit your job?” To which I answer, “I didn’t, I just did it.” Speaking of which, tell us about 503 Motoring’s new facility. We just opened up 503 Motoring Sales, which we started out of necessity. We were brokering client cars behind the scenes for a number of years, but would end up having to pass the deal to someone with a license to finalize the deals. We always babysat it and made sure our clients received the best customer service, so when that started to fade we realized it was time to start our own gig. So as of March 2015 we have a new 5,000-squarefoot indoor showroom and event space that is about a three-minute walk from the main shop. We do private showings by appointment only and luckily since we’ve built so many cars and relationships through the years we have a built-in book of business that already trusts us. It’s nice to know the full history on the cars that we inventory. What kind of vehicles do you specialize in? We do it all, If you are looking for quality service and workmanship then we’ll take the project, but the shop gets predominately high-end European cars. We do a lot of Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Bentley, and the occasional Ferrari and Lamborghini. Sometimes we have domestics like Chargers and Escalades and even some Asian imports on the floor as well. Our sales department does all high-end, unique and rare cars.

Other than providing great customer service and bringing smiles to the faces of your customers, what has been the most gratifying thing with 503 Motoring? For me, it’s knowing that we can do it. As a team. Everybody in this industry really got snapped hard in 2008 through 2011; it was tough for a lot of people and a lot of shops closed. It’s satisfying to know that we have staying power. This isn’t a hobby for us and we truly have a passion for what we do and have fought to keep our quality and reputation. It shows in our customer base. Most are very close friends now and we all are family. That is what matters and is the most gratifying. What’s the word on your events? As a shop, we host a number of events throughout the year like small private events, we’ll co-host car meets or drives and we plan to start more specialized events in our new showroom. But every other year, we do our big 503 Motoring Block Party, where we invite some of our major vendors and friends down to show off their stuff and local car enthusiasts to bring out their rides. Since its inception in 2011 we had never charged for space at Block Party, but we did for this year’s event, as well as auction off donated items and add to the fund ourselves and we were able to donate just over $5,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of Portland Metropolitan Area. We take community very seriously especially when there is youth involved so we always try to give back where we can while providing a unique experience.
The 2015 503 Blockparty is always a packed house.

2015 Corvette Z06 getting some new HRE wheels.
What new trends are you starting to see go through your shop, and what do you see happening in the future in terms of vehicle customization? Bigger builds, our customers are feeling comfortable spending again and now they want it all. Wheels, tires, aero, interiors, wraps and audio - all at the same time. These used to be multiple little builds. Now it’s the whole enchilada at once. Wraps are still a huge thing and so we are seeing guys do a color change every year or every other year. Wheels have always been our main focus and the game just keeps getting stronger and stronger and there really is no clear front runner anymore. There are some really great brands out there bringing some real heat. As far as the future, the whole EV (Electric Vehicle) thing is going to turn the game on its head. There will be a whole new niche market popping up and shops better be ready for it. These cars are getting faster, more stylish and more mainstream. What’s the future hold for the shop? We are constantly focused on being one of the highest quality shops around and will continue to push ourselves and the industry to innovate along the way. Customer service will always be our number one priority and keeping ourselves relevant. We hope to open our own Collision Repair Facility in the next 24 months to better serve our existing clients as well as offer our recipe of service and quality to an industry that needs it. We also see our Vehicle Sales division being another win for the 503 brand.

Tim talks to the team at the Shift S3ctor Oregon Airstrip Attack
Do you have any words of advice for up and coming shop owners/ businessmen? Just don’t give up; it’s not easy. A lot of people look at the things that shops like us do and they think we get to play with cool cars and deal with celebrities. Yeah, that’s neat, but not what it’s about. It takes a lot of work to put these
cars together properly, to deal with making aftermarket parts fit correctly and to deal with employees and customers alike. But at the end of the day, whether good or bad, you have to remember that tomorrow is another opportunity to get better. For yourself and your brand. You can tell a client, show a client pictures and
explain what you are creating, but nothing is more rewarding than the look on their face when they finally see it for real. Stay true to yourself and to your vision and you will not fail. And never miss an opportunity to show your team how important they are to you. You can’t do it alone. #workhard #playhard #stayhumble

AIR FORCE
WORDS: KRISTIE BERTUCCI PHOTOS: BRIAN McGEE
P
aul Garcia is a proud member of the U.S. Air Force and to commemorate his hard work serving our country, he decided to dedicate his time and money to fixing up his dream ride - a Nissan GT-R. “I wanted to be able to provide a positive light and influence to being in the Air Force,” he describes. “I’d talk to many young individuals when I would go to car shows and they would ask me how I got the car and I’d tell them I was a proud member of the U.S. Air Force. And it was all a matter of being able to work hard and manage your finances. I had nothing to spend my money on so I would just save up my money while I was flying missions for my goal which was to own a GT-R.” His objective was to build a GT-R that was different from all the rest. Garcia wanted to enhance its JDM roots while adding a few of his own Cuban influences to his dream ride. “The GT-R is such an iconic car with a rich heritage and legacy,” he admits. “I knew I wanted high-quality

products that were tested and proven to add to my GT-R’s styling, and not just the same thing everyone else had. Some of the pieces took longer to get in from Japan, but it was worth the wait.” He knew he had to go with a Liberty Walk widebody kit straight from Japan and became one of the first to own a kit in the U.S. for his GT-R (and it’s also one of the first in the world to be installed on a DBA GT-R). To keep things fresh and clean, he went with 3-stage Pearl White and Nebula Opal Black Pearl accent pieces, custom fender liners, Seibon Dry Carbon GT hood painted and clear coated, as well as a Dry carbon rear diffuser clear coated. The stance on his ride had to be perfect so Garcia made sure it sat low thanks to an Airrex Digital Wireless air suspension system with Whiteline products like a 33mm front sway bar, 20mm rear sway bar, anti-lift/caster correction kit and a front and rear sway bar link assembly. Its SSR CV03 wheels fitted with a grippy set of Toyo R888 tires complete the menacing look. “I really love the SSR wheels, to me they are the ultimate JDM wheel and really set the car off just right and ties it all together,” he says. Inside are Bride Cuga and Vorga carbon fiber backed racing seats, Takata harnesses and pads, Sparco harness bar and Top Secret floormats
and a fire extinguisher. Seibon rear carbon seat delete, panels, console and decklid transform the inside of the GT-R, while a DCT dry carbon custom steering wheel finishes off the carbon theme in the cabin. With around a six month build time, Garcia was more than happy with the finished product when he unveiled it at Autocon 2014. “The greatest thing when building a car is it’s all about individuality,” he explains. “You build a car for you and your enjoyment. Sure, you’re going to ask for opinions and thoughts and ideas, but at the end of the day the final decision is up to you and the direction you want to take your car in. I want to say it was a pretty well-rounded build for the most part and it was thoroughly enjoyed!” Since its debut, Garcia has been busy making the show rounds. “I had some great opportunities with the GT-R,” he says. “I was asked to bring it out for filming of the Race Wars scene of ‘The Fast and the Furious 7,’ and invited to display the car at SEMA 2014 and was selected to compete in the 2014 SEMA Battle Of The Builders. I was also interviewed for the ‘Car Crazy’ TV show and I was shocked and honored to have been chosen as one of 10 cars at SEMA 2014 to be a Mothers Shine Award winner.” Now, he’s enjoying the GT-R as a weekend car when he rides out with Team R-Rydes.

EXCLUSIVE MOTORTING X LIBERTY WALK NISSAN GT-R WORDS: KRISTIE BERTUCCI PHOTOS: RAYMOND NEICE
E
xclusive Motoring has been in business for more than 10 years, customizing cars and trucks for celebrities and athletes, while also catering to local clients. Offering everything from wheels and tires, body kits, interior, audio, collision repair and more, they’re known around Miami, FL as one of the city’s go-to shops if you want a fly ride. When a repeat client came into the shop and asked for his Nissan GT-R to be remixed and taken to new heights, the guys at the shop were more than happy to oblige. Although they’ve dressed up numerous GT-Rs before, they popped their Liberty Walk cherry with this particular one, also making it the first GT-R with a Liberty Walk kit in all of Miami. The client was already set on the particular kit that widened the GT-R’s rear and styling and a color change, but gave the shop free reign on getting creative with the interior and the audio installation.
It was a smooth build that took around two months to complete, with the hardest part trying to get the body kit to fit perfectly. “The kit required a lot of modification to the factory body panels and pre-fitting before the color change,”details Anthony Fonseca, Sales Manager at Exclusive Motoring. “Due to the widebody fenders, the wheels had to be custom-built in extra wide sizes.” To give it an entirely new look, the GT-R’s exterior was painted a Gun Metallic Grey and a Liberty Walk spoiler adds to the widebody kit’s seductive demeanor. A satin black roof, spoiler and front/rear bumper trim are eye-catching enhancements, while smoked tail lights and corner lamps set off the exterior mods. The GT-R prowls the MIA streets on color-matched Forgiato 22x11 front and 22x12 rear wheels fitted with 285/30R22 front and 315/25R22 rear Pirelli tires.

Inside, the cabin sports a completely one-off interior with the front seats, door panels and headliner all done with diamond-stitched leather, accented in black and silver stitching. The factory rear seat delete was replaced in favor of a custom audio enclosure. As one of the shop’s most unique GT-R projects to date, the client was speechless when he first saw the end result and couldn’t wait to drive it, Fonseca admits. Now Exclusive Motoring can’t wait to get their hands on their next Liberty Walk project!

old school roots, new school style ‘71 CHEVY CHEVELLE SS
144 | DUB MAGAZINE 2015
WORDS: DEANNE DELUNA PHOTOS: BRIAN McGEE

dgar Lopez’s 1971 Chevy Chevelle SS has been in the family for about 20 years. Although it was always a goal to restore it to its original beauty, it wasn’t realized until last December, when he surprised his father with the newly restored and modified SS as a Christmas present. LPZ INC’s first two builds were oneoff street trucks, and after his father saw the SEMA 2008 widebody Ford F-150 he completed, he hinted to Lopez that he wanted one built especially for him. “My father didn’t know about anything during the entire build,” Lopez admits. “The bold lines and curves of the Chevelle’s body lines begged to be accentuated with a widebody build. I wanted a clean and classy blend of new school hot rod elements combined with the respect of your old school billet big block flavor. Everything was built in-house by my shop LPZ INC. in Palmdale, CA.” With the main focus on the fusion of old traditional hues mixed with the modern ways of custom rodding, LPZ INC used billet all around the car, which can be seen on the trim, wheels, accessories and more. The custom-built 572 big block engine is the ultimate expression of Chevrolet Performance capabilities and is considered to be the company’s baddest crate engine.
THE BOLD LINES AND CURVES OF THE CHEVELLE’S BODY LINES BEGGED TO BE ACCENTUATED WITH A WIDEBODY BUILD.
DUB MAGAZINE 2015 | 145
The tan Mercedes-Benz leather upholstery gives it a timeless elegance, while the larger wheel sizes define its modern footing. Not to mention the fact that LPZ INC cut up a near perfect Chevelle body to widen its rear quarters, front fenders extended and contoured rocker panels, which is thought to be sacrilege in the world of hot rodding. LPZ INC custom-built the Chevelles’ frame in order to give the car a lowered stance and run a wide rear tire while maintaining a functional rear seat. They ran Global West Suspension components including front A-arms and a sway bar, while a custom four-link rear end is hooked to a beefy Moser M9. QA1 double adjustable coilovers provide full control of the ride and stopping power is by custom adapted Corvette ZO6 big brakes. Dual 4” x-piped stainless exhaust with custom flush rocker panel side exists provides a performance look and intimidating growl. To make the Chevelle stand out amongst a crowd, a PPG Candy Apple Red exterior was chosen, which so happens to also be his dad’s favorite color.

DUB MAGAZINE 2015 | 147
The entire build took two years to complete with the final product revealed at the 2015 DUB Show Los Angeles stop. “The responses have been very positive on the build,” Lopez says. “Being in a class of its own, the car is very respected by the new school hot rodders and defends itself amongst the top of the old school hot rod crowd.” Instead of being a show queen, the Chevelle will be a weekend ride for Lopez’s father and they’re already thinking about building another Chevelle, this time a wide body droptop version.

aron Castaneda has worked with Jay Ivey of Branded Customs on his previous 2012 Dodge Longhorn 2500, but didn’t go all out as he did with “Big Chief ” – a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie Longhorn Mega Cab dually. “I’m a country guy that loves the back roads, dirt roads, outdoor lifestyle and love to have and use that off-road package when needed,” he describes. “My main focus was to build a big, mean, eye-catching off-road Dually.” With the goal to build one of the most dominant trucks out there, he figured “Big Chief” was a fitting name for his endeavors. He opted for the Ram 3500 Laramie Longhorn Mega Cab for its dominating presence on the road even before he turned it into “Big Chief.” His initial design was simple, with the factory two-tone color and powder coating the 8” Full Throttle Suspension lift kit tan to match the exterior, but after driving it a few months, he grew weary of people confusing and comparing his truck to other similar trucks. “So that’s where I came up with the idea to change the whole look of my truck and build a unique and original ride that when people see it at shows or driving down the road, they know exactly whose it is.”

Working with Jay to use top-of-the-line products, Castaneda’s truck now sports a 3M Flat Grey wrap, smoked lights, light bars and a custom Branded Customs grille. To provide it with its dominant stance, a set of 24” American Force Freedom wheels fitted in 38x13.50R24 Nitto Trail Grapplers get the job done. Improved performance was also on the menu with a cold air intake, Bully Dog GT tuner and EFILive tuning. Oracle ColorSHIFT 2.0 halos, LED lighting under the carriage, custom LED side logos and LED rear badge as the third brake lights up Big Chief at night. The custom Focal audio system booms with sound thanks to K2 Power 165 KRX2 speakers in the front doors; Focal K2 Power 165 KRC rear speakers; Focal FPD 600.4 4-Channel amplifier; two FPD 900.1 Mono amplifiers; and four Focal 30A4 12” subwoofers in a custom enclosure.

The truck was unveiled at the Oklahoma City Slamboree 2015 car show to much acclaim. “The response from people was amazing,” Castaneda says. “Social media, shows, driving it every place I go…it’s just great. People are amazed by how huge it looks. You’d never imagine that a big Dually would have an air ride suspension.” “Big Chief” is by far the most drastic build Castaneda has done to date and he’s still not done with it. Expect a whole new truck for the 2015 SEMA Show that only adds to “Big Chief’s” colossal looks.

BESPOKE STYLE & TUNING GUIDE
LARTE DESIGN TESLA S ELIZABETA
T
he Tesla S is not a bad looking ride, but LARTE Design thought it could benefit from a few exterior modifications and went to work developing their own styling package which resulted in the Tesla S Elizabeta. Through their use of carbon fiber and basalt fiber accents – including front and rear bumpers and spoiler – Larte created a stunning package that accentuates the smooth lines of the sedan.
Basalt fiber is a material of volcanic origin and materials made using the substance possess important properties like heat resistance, toughness, and durability that benefit the Tesla. And to complement the environmentally friendly nature of the Tesla, basalt fiber is eco-friendly and doesn’t emit any harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. It also has a higher strengthto-weight ratio, which makes the car’s exterior parts stronger and lighter. Although basalt fiber is still largely unheard of in the car industry, that 194 | DUB MAGAZINE 2015
will all change soon thanks to the introduction of new standards for the use of non-toxic materials. The use of weight-saving materials result in an exterior tuning package that only weighs about 29 pounds. The most distinct feature is the LARTE Design front bumper and grille, which gives it a more angular and aggressive demeanor. The lighting and the lining of the carbon fiber wings, sills and trunk lid all harmoniously complete the overall design concept and add sharper lines to
the silhouette. The redesigned rear bumper is also now equipped with carbon fiber diffuser inserts, while new 22” forged wheels round out exterior enhancements. LARTE Design will also offer their Tesla S Elizabeta in black and white, in addition to red. The cabin also received some minor accents including sport pedals and footrest and LARTE Design-branded headrests. They also developed and integrated an electronic sound that will replicate engine-sound.
