The Color of Perfection: A Conversation about Cars and Design

As I walked into the garage, I couldn't help but notice the array of cars on display. There were sleek red sports cars, shiny white sedans, and even a few exotic rides that made my jaw drop in awe. The owner, a self-proclaimed car enthusiast, was excitedly talking about his latest find - a blue car with a unique design that he thought would look amazing on one of the cars in his collection. "What color is it?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me. "I know the name of it," he replied confidently, but quickly realized he had forgotten. "It's blue," he said finally, as if that was enough to make a decision.

The owner went on to tell me about his plans for his cars, which included getting them wrapped, aligned, and new seats installed. He also mentioned that he had ordered parts from Technica, including a Lamborghini GT3 RS, but didn't have the car himself because it still needed some repairs. "I'm waiting for it," he said with a grin, as if this was just a normal part of his life. I couldn't help but chuckle at his enthusiasm.

As we talked about cars, our conversation turned to TV shows - specifically, the popular show Entourage. The owner was a huge fan and had even named his media company "Entourage Media Inc." I was impressed by his creativity and sense of humor. Before I left, he invited me to walk out to the front with him and showed off some new wheels and tires that were about to be installed on one of his cars. The owner explained that these would provide a more aggressive look for his car and set it apart from its competitors.

However, our conversation took a turn when the owner mentioned that he had previously found two cars that didn't check out - they failed pre-purchase inspections (PPIs) in Ontario. He described the experience as "shady" and expressed frustration at being misled by the dealership. This got us talking about the car market in Canada versus the United States, where the owner was considering buying another car to supplement his collection.

As we wrapped up our conversation, the owner mentioned that he had found a new white car that he thought would be perfect for wrapping - a process that he loved and enjoyed. However, this car also failed its PPI, and he was now looking at two cars to choose from: one red and one white. The white car had sold to another dealership for $5,000 more than the asking price, which made it an attractive option. Despite his disappointment with the current market conditions, the owner remained optimistic about finding a new car that would fit perfectly into his collection.

Finally, we got to say our goodbyes and exchange pleasantries. The owner invited me to come back to the shop the following day, where he promised to film some of the work being done on one of his cars. As I left, I couldn't help but feel inspired by the owner's passion for cars and design. His enthusiasm was infectious, and I found myself looking forward to seeing what he would do next with his collection.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyou guys I have been waiting for this moment for so long we are back at DTM Auto Body and it's about to go down we're about to reveal the brand new my dream car ddlm that's right the GT1 converted front end on my manual Mercy logo I don't think I've ever been more excited than actually doing what we're about to do right now when it came to actually a car build out of all the cars I've built yes they're all exciting they're all amazing but this has truly been a dream of mine to get this thing done for the better part of probably 5 years or more let's walk in here and go say hi to the boys well I found them how you doing good say hello to Patrick the owner here at DTM Auto Body and his team absolutely killed it now they're just pulling the car out of the bay we're going to let them line it all up it has a little less steering angle not a lot actually but a little right so he's going to have to do a 20-point turn right now to get the car lined up in the middle of the shop and then I will reveal it to you guys I'm so pump it looks so sick not just the front end I changed I had to change the front wheels because now they need to be wider and when I change the front wheels I have the same width tire but I chose a different tire on all four corners and it's truly because race car you're not going to want to go anywhere until you see this thing it is menacing looking to say the least we torqu the wheels yes sir all right you guys I want to thank think the whole team here at DTM Auto Body putting their Blood Sweat and Tears into this project for me killed it like right to the timeline too man right sleepless nights sleepless nights did you actually ever stay here later to do this no this all happened within business hours y long what's up dude this thing is absolutely crazy bro how do how do you guys like the way it turned out we love it I mean can't do anything better than this in the future should we do some more of the race car mods to the back of the car if I do a full repaint right I little things like the slits in the back bumper these guys want to widen the rear quarters a little bit for the record the actual race cars the mercy race cars they don't have anything touched on the rear quarters so if you want to be like period correct then technically we can't do it but we'll see I'll leave it up to you guys instead of teasing you any further you guys have all been really really patient thank you sir hey how you doing you killed it amazing you like huh yeah you're obviously off duty cuz you have a white shirt on who wears a white shirt to work he does is this guy a surgeon 2o look at this damn what a goodl looking team thank you for all your help I appreciate you all right by the way you have a sick car that one over there I appreciate sir he's got a wild wide body now we got to reveal the mercial logo what I'm going to call the ddlm project in three 2 one bam now it's going to be a bit of an ey sore for you guys because yes the front bump to the front to the I love I actually love that that happened I was like are we in a department store so we have an exposed carbon splitter and exposed carbon bumper so it's all kind of blending in together right now you guys trust me we know that will change once we go to PFS then this will all get wrapped white this is all going to get wrapped white of course now in the end the guys did me a solid and instead of me wrapping the louvers individually in a gloss black they went ahead and this is actual paint they painted them they have the headlights all together they're all wired up show what it looks like with the full endurance racing race mode they actually had a Porsche tow hook that resembled this one but the Porscha to hook was way too short to actually get mounted to the chassis of my car so it was usable we want to make sure everything on here is purpose built they ended up drawing out the design and I said hey my boy Mike Essa back at the shop we have this big fancy plasma cutter he could make the toe hook just get me the dimensions I was back home at Canada they drew one out of cardboard sent it to me with a measuring tape beside it with all the measurements I took that photo sent it to Mike Mike cut it out we ubered it here and they got it powder coated and mounted to the chassis and put on how crazy is that but look at this now with the fog lights and everything so now what I want you guys to tell me is do we go ahead and do the traditional racing yellow lens over top of the lights or do I leave the lights white I don't know white on some level for me it's going to be easier to see at night but I want to come to this side now because what's really important and again I'm sorry it's it's going to get wrapped I was so excited and I wanted to honor these guys for all their hard work but I wanted to reveal the car in its pure complete form the way that these guys did it now new Wheels thank you to Ron from AR Motorworks he had to rebarrel these and I actually think these wheels now look way better with the 2-in barrel the lip on the front and on the back well I've always had this this is actually a 5 in lip that is a huge lip and also once it's more cohesive you're going to see how this all just kind of looks a lot better all right guys today's video is sponsored by ship station I'm just getting rid of some product right

this mesh in and we decided to leave that because some of the merci Loos have a little slit there we made it a little more pronounced because I was like hey you know this is the street version of the race car let's make it a little more pronounced and they custom widened the factory s skirt to come up and meet it this is all hand done you guys look at the craftsmanship and how nice that is and it's all perfectly smooth it's primered primer doesn't off gas the way that paint does so I don't have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for this to off gas before I wrap it which is why we didn't paint it this is the widest part of a mercy go right down on here this piece of the S skirt whether it's a non-lp or an LP car this is the part that won't fit in between the wheel wells on like for example my trailer that's why I can't tow this car in the trailer at the front of the trailer it actually won't go between the wheel wells it's really not going to go between the wheel wells now is it guys in all fairness if you know this kit this still isn't complete cuz this is as much as I love APR this is an APR Wing this is not technically period correct for this and these uprights are custom from Mike just from a drawing from the other RAC car and the diffuser technically is made by Mike now the only thing back here is the ryer race car tail lights and this is an actual FIA endurance racing rainlight but everything else has been custom made I could go and talk to Ron who actually has Ron has the ryer carbon diffuser the difference is guess how much it is $3500 that's not bad bro we made that for like 300 bucks but that's a piece of metal that's three yeah so is the rer one it's like carbon over it's car over metal okay they just get you with the lambo tacks right and I could find the proper Rider Wing which some people debate should be lower but they did make variations of the mercy race car with a wing this high so it really comes down to personal preference and I actually like this height this height looks really good I do think though if I could talk to APR I would get this a little deeper the width is fine comes right out to the edges of the rear quarter panels but man you guys killed it any really big hurdles you had to over come while doing this build that you want to share with these guys the overall shape of it you know I had a higher wheel Arch we had to bring that down when you bring that down all the dimensions changes you know so you know it's just one of those things that you kind of finesse cut it trim it you try one side you do all the final like cutting measuring I think the first side is always the most difficult yeah um after that it's yeah it's a walk in the park for the other side walk in the park well my hat's off to you guys because you nailed it you literally made my dreams come true I really appreciate you guys I probably should pay my bills I'm sure I have a bill here somewhere it's hiding somewhere he's like he not hiding anywhere it's in my pocket y but you guys just take it all in I'm going to take this thing down to PFS right now in some seriously sh LA traffic but before we go let's hit this thing with a montage you know I'm about to lock it the they was looking for just like the lock this they me better stop it they can never me I'm at I'm in a rocket other words you can't touch me it's like I got the ball in it's prob and you won't see me when I'm coming through you can't stop now one last thing I forgot to tell you guys cuz I'm actually so excited the tires I changed the tires right the tire setup on this was a toyo sport the sizes are impossible to get and there's only one size it's a 235 35 19 and a 34525 20 that means at the end of the day the only two street legal tires barely this one but it is DOT approved is the Toyo sports or the whoer R7 and you know what because race car you guys why not have the balls to drive this thing on a slick this is a slick Tire yeah I don't know if you guys seen it yet or noticed it but this is a brand spanking new tire so let's hope I don't hit rain and by the way they also fixed the windshield wiper for me we got a motor they tore the whole motor apart and rebuilt the housing because the housing is proprietary to the Gen one Mercy's the lp Motors are different so it doesn't fit but we took the guts out of one put the guts in there and I have a working mono wiper again when you only have one wiper it's important that that one little son of a works you know when I came here we were testing everything out and this was just barely rubbing because this is a more Square wider Tire what we ended up doing was we cut about this much off actually when I say we long this guy right here barehanded no gloves cut this cut this off and look how even It Is by hand with his eye the one like just on the Fly you have a steady hand man are you going to screw that cut up and what were your exact words to me Hands Like a Surgeon Hands Like a Surgeon his wife can attest to that all right I got the AMX let's hope wifey paid that off what you you were hoping Dave was here yeah I'm so offended right now because he loved that stuff you guys went and got him what oh dude Dave these guys know your weakness that's for da open it up you're too late Hey fatty shut up that is hilarious dude that is awesome that is so good oh damn bro I got you man I'mma put you on I'mma put you on my workout program on my launch I'm going get you in shape Dave might even get you some muscles oh new wifey going to like that they actually got us all of these pastries cuz I thought Dave was coming I have to now drive with these little sons of all the way to protect the film Solutions and try my best not to eat one I won't I won't I'm not going to cheat not a cheater like Dave oh look at these how ancient is that thing hey from Lamborghini looks like it literally starts a tractor thanks again my pleasure I paid the bill now you can open the door sir these guys are like you have no way out of here and what about a cold star you guys remember what this thing sounds like run let's go by the way Dave sent a reply I'm actually sure to pick up my wedding suit and I'm going to have to going have to make some changes in my life he's actually picking out his wedding suit right now oh man I still got rally confetti in here you never want to get confetti bomb on a rally it'll haunt you for years why do you have so many speed bumps in a shop that builds lower cars why who's always speeding through here that you have to put speed bumps in yeah we do why safety y California I'm not going to lie I'm a little bit nervous to drive this car for the first time cuz it's a lot of money and time invested in putting this together and I'm on slicks but luckily we're in Southern California so it's dry and actually fairly warm out the real question is will I make this huge shout out see you guys later let's go baby slicks with no heat well they're not awful but I gave it a little bit of acceleration there and a little bit of throttle and uh oh yeah they spun very easy we're going to need to get some heat in these tires how I miss this thing and the symphony that it is let's see GPS has me turning left here oh let's be very very quiet oh they're already dealing with something lot of cops lot of cops is going on oh that doesn't look good at all oh just chill chill chill chill chill chill chill chill chill chill continue stre let's be good let's behave ourselves I'm a little excited I just got my dream car back after a month and a half of not having it let's go almost at PFS I've survived the first drive almost there though now there is one more stop we need we're almost out of fuel oh we're going to scrape no left no LIF let's go let's get some fuel this is where we get to fill up and also get out have another good look at the front end I'm actually shocked I have not smashed anything it is freaking ridiculous looking it doesn't all quite make sense right now because well it's kind of like well you know 50 Shades of Gray two different carbons the splitter and the bumper and then it's a white wrap we only about three blocks from PFS Jason was really nice he stayed late so I could drop this car off and we can get this thing wrapped ASAP CU trust me guys it bothers me as much as it bothers you seeing this thing not done done done and then there's going to be all the little things I still got to dial in like I think the wing definitely needs to be a bit wider I might even go as far as actually lowering the wing down who knows you guys tell me if we should do that comment below we got one of those beautiful California sunsets and a straight road hey Jason we're coming man woo we're coming I think that was a big Fireball pretty sure it was I can't hear you what do you think desperately needs to be one color I don't think it's wide enough dude this thing is sick oh my God that is nuts and it squares off the whole car now it does this thing sick yeah right are you stoked on it it actually that was a fast turnaround dude Crazy Fast a month and a half yeah 6 weeks he said four to 6 weeks yeah it's sick yeah they killed it sweet so we're changing the color could you imagine I think for now we'll stick with the white cuz obviously it's easy all you have to wrap is basically the bumper and these fenders how do you like we kept it so that it was like so you could really tell its wide body yeah I like it versus blending that in on here looks clean yeah that's sick oh and you'll have to redo the side screw but that's like a one- day job 5 hours I told George already 5 hours one day yeah we get it done a one day one day dude it's so crazy looking it's so wide I know a couple people were like oh I don't like the triple louvers but like that's how they built a bunch of the race cars and again the neat thing is not all the mercy race cars that were built are all matching they're not all the same I have like a an endurance racing style front splitter for whatever reason Patrick and the guys at DTM were like it almost looks a little unfinished with this like way they did the cutout here is this going to stay carbon right yeah splitter stays carbon and then you just want to do the white around the edge or you want to do white up here that's a good question Jason's all about the details it's all the details same this this pie could go white or could be car that that'll go white for sure yeah you want to leave these exposed black or do you want to wrap them white I think we'll leave these exposed black can we ppf them not tomorrow but like eventually but yeah right now eventually P those right that'd be smart just so they don't get any Rock chips 5 6 7 14 21 42 vents 42 vents you have to do1 each $42 you have to do them individually what do you think I don't know with vinyl you just wrap it over it wouldn't you and then just cut it yeah ppf they'll individually do those they might be able to do like one giant piece and Slot it out we'll figure it out I'm not doing the install right yeah you're not doing the insto either we'll talk to Byron yeah the master the actual Master of Disaster once it's all cohesive I think it's going to look really sick plus we got to take all these decals off and I have a new very first time I've ever done this I have a new door decal for this huh what do you mean oh I like that because race car man that's R it's not going to say because race car but it's like because race car so I think we're going to put that on the door same Wheels yeah we rebuilt them now it's a 2in barrel got it that's what I thought or lip 2 in lip sorry this isn't 2 in that's 2 in Dave knows 2 in this is like uh four or five well that's five that's a 5 in barrel all the way on there yeah all right all right how about calipers leave the calipers same color for now just neutral finish or do you want to yeah we keep no we're going to keep them neutral for now neutral that we we lowered it more it looks good we had to because it's got a higher wheel Arch now yeah did you notice the tires I did yeah we talked about that off camera this weekend I can't believe I can't believe you did that your brother was tripping I don't want to see this out in the rain man no me neither because the wiper works now finally it's going to be like roller skates all around stand back here and look at it bro that's a real race car it's driving on slicks bro have you hammered it yet do yeah I did actually and it slipped out for like a second but after 2 minutes of driving it's full grip they're actually really good on the street I'm not going to lie so you have to track this one now that youve got actual track tires on I'm oh hell yeah I'm going to take it to the track oh yeah I also think I might put race seats in it I'm all for that and a cage well and harnesses if you do race seats will you send it back and get the seats to match or do you want it to stand out I I take the whole interior out read oh get out of here there's no way you're doing that I might take it all out and make it full because race car I might buy another mercy and I'll just take this interior and put it in that Mercy take the black interior from the other mercy and put it in this Mercy meanwhile I'm on a budget over here at night trying to calculate and do my stuff or find my my car parts and you're over you're like ah I buy another Mercy I'm just saying I love this car out of all the cars is the best car for me personally on planet Earth so I was thinking I might get another one and then do something on that too okay and you know who really likes Mercy mer now all of a sudden Dave yeah oo so maybe I need to get Dave and mercy again a different Mercy but maybe he needs a manual Mercy we can get them in non-manual someone just did a manual conversion that they haven't released it yet they haven't released it yet but we know it works cuz they've showed us videos but there is going to be a manual conversion for merci logo E gear Merc logos com to the market going to be a game changer game for sure this is sick dude dude they killed it it looks so good like the side Pro file is so menacing what do you want it in the back uh I'm actually just going to take it home you take my wife's car and I'll take this home I have to get Michaela to do a wheel alignment on it cuz right now it actually shakes like a mother sure yeah you need to get it full alignment and like check the toe camber all the stuff that you don't understand yeah that would make the car shake right yeah if your alignment's sof especially because now it's got a wider track up front I'd be shocked if everything just fit perfect and they had no adjustment that was needed so it shakes at 65 miles an hour well that's you shaking yeah by the way I got some treats for the guys okay so DTM the last time we went to DTM Dave ate their pastries okay you know Dave just eats whatever he wants so he ate all the pastries so the boys actually sent me cuz I thought Dave was coming today there's this really high-end place that makes these crazy pastries oh H yeah they bought like two boxes of them and I'm like well I can't eat them Dave shouldn't eat them Dave's going to need the his suit you can get away with eating one you're younger than me yeah the guys will be stoked oh just wait you guys it's going to get crazier once this is all wrapped it's going to look absolute Beauty I'm so excited should I swap this all out should I maybe just put some black seats in it for now I talked to Eric at E3 that if I kept this I might actually get the top part of the dash redone in black with a blue Stitch just cuz it is blinding in sunlight but yeah check it out slicks man look at those bad boys that's because race just cruising with my door open here Italian air conditioning that actually stops pretty good I wasn't sure if it was going to slide on the uh polished concrete floors in here especially with the Slicks how you doing how's it going good man this thing looks sweet wild right yeah it's going to look sweeter when it's all one bloody color absolutely so wide right this thing's crazy too I like that spec right that is beautiful blue that almost actually is like a blue that goes with my interior yeah this dude this thing got gray wheels yeah what yeah

to the I love I actually love that that happened I was like are we in a department store so we have an exposed carbon splitter and exposed carbon bumper so it's all kind of blending in together right now you guys trust me we know that will change once we go to PFS then this will all get wrapped white this is all going to get wrapped white of course now in the end the guys did me a solid and instead of me wrapping the louvers individually in a gloss black they went ahead and this is actual paint they painted them they have the headlights all together they're all wired up show what it looks like with the full endurance racing race mode they actually had a Porsche tow hook that resembled this one but the Porscha to hook was way too short to actually get mounted to the chassis of my car so it was usable we want to make sure everything on here is purpose built they ended up drawing out the design and I said hey my boy Mike Essa back at the shop we have this big fancy plasma cutter he could make the toe hook just get me the dimensions I was back home at Canada they drew one out of cardboard sent it to me with a measuring tape beside it with all the measurements I took that photo sent it to Mike Mike cut it out we ubered it here and they got it powder coated and mounted to the chassis and put on how crazy is that but look at this now with the fog lights and everything so now what I want you guys to tell me is do we go ahead and do the traditional racing yellow lens over top of the lights or do I leave the lights white I don't know white on some level for me it's going to be easier to see at night but I want to come to this side now because what's really important and again I'm sorry it's it's going to get wrapped I was so excited and I wanted to honor these guys for all their hard work but I wanted to reveal the car in its pure complete form the way that these guys did it now new Wheels thank you to Ron from AR Motorworks he had to rebarrel these and I actually think these wheels now look way better with the 2-in barrel the lip on the front and on the back well I've always had this this is actually a 5 in lip that is a huge lip and also once it's more cohesive you're going to see how this all just kind of looks a lot better all right guys today's video is sponsored by ship station I'm just getting rid of some product right now and getting it out

DDE to sign up for your free 60-day trials that's shipstation.com DDE come on get your business together we decided to also leave a custom space that they put this mesh in and we decided to leave that because some of the merci Loos have a little slit there we made it a little more pronounced because I was like hey you know this is the street version of the race car let's make it a little more pronounced and they custom widened the factory s skirt to come up and meet it this is all hand done you guys look at the craftsmanship and how nice that is and it's all perfectly smooth it's primered primer doesn't off gas the way that paint does so I don't have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for this to off gas before I wrap it which is why we didn't paint it this is the widest part of a mercy go right down on here this piece of the S skirt whether it's a non-lp or an LP car this is the part that won't fit in between the wheel wells on like for example my trailer that's why I can't tow this car in the trailer at the front of the trailer it actually won't go between the wheel wells it's really not going to go between the wheel wells now is it guys in all fairness if you know this kit this still isn't complete cuz this is as much as I love APR this is an APR Wing this is not technically period correct for this and these uprights are custom from Mike just from a drawing from the other RAC car and the diffuser technically is made by Mike now the only thing back here is the ryer race car tail lights and this is an actual FIA endurance racing rainlight but everything else has been custom made I could go and talk to Ron who actually has Ron has the ryer carbon diffuser the difference is guess how much it is $3500 that's not bad bro we made that for like 300 bucks but that's a piece of metal that's three yeah so is the rer one it's like carbon over it's car over metal okay they just get you with the lambo tacks right and I could find the proper Rider Wing which some people debate should be lower but they did make variations of the mercy race car with a wing this high so it really comes down to personal preference and I actually like this height this height looks really good I do think though if I could talk to APR I would get this a little deeper the width is fine comes right out to the edges of the rear quarter panels but man you guys killed it any really big hurdles you had to over come while doing this build that you want to share with these guys the overall shape of it you know I had a higher wheel Arch we had to bring that down when you bring that down all the dimensions changes you know so you know it's just one of those things that you kind of finesse cut it trim it you try one side you do all the final like cutting measuring I think the first side is always the most difficult yeah um after that it's yeah it's a walk in the park for the other side walk in the park well my hat's off to you guys because you nailed it you literally made my dreams come true I really appreciate you guys I probably should pay my bills I'm sure I have a bill here somewhere it's hiding somewhere he's like he not hiding anywhere it's in my pocket y but you guys just take it all in I'm going to take this thing down to PFS right now in some seriously sh LA traffic but before we go let's hit this thing with a montage you know I'm about to lock it the they was looking for just like the lock this they me better stop it they can never me I'm at I'm in a rocket other words you can't touch me it's like I got the ball in it's prob and you won't see me when I'm coming through you can't stop now one last thing I forgot to tell you guys cuz I'm actually so excited the tires I changed the tires right the tire setup on this was a toyo sport the sizes are impossible to get and there's only one size it's a 235 35 19 and a 34525 20 that means at the end of the day the only two street legal tires barely this one but it is DOT approved is the Toyo sports or the whoer R7 and you know what because race car you guys why not have the balls to drive this thing on a slick this is a slick Tire yeah I don't know if you guys seen it yet or noticed it but this is a brand spanking new tire so let's hope I don't hit rain and by the way they also fixed the windshield wiper for me we got a motor they tore the whole motor apart and rebuilt the housing because the housing is proprietary to the Gen one Mercy's the lp Motors are different so it doesn't fit but we took the guts out of one put the guts in there and I have a working mono wiper again when you only have one wiper it's important that that one little son of a works you know when I came here we were testing everything out and this was just barely rubbing because this is a more Square wider Tire what we ended up doing was we cut about this much off actually when I say we long this guy right here barehanded no gloves cut this cut this off and look how even It Is by hand with his eye the one like just on the Fly you have a steady hand man are you going to screw that cut up and what were your exact words to me Hands Like a Surgeon Hands Like a Surgeon his wife can attest to that all right I got the AMX let's hope wifey paid that off what you you were hoping Dave was here yeah I'm so offended right now because he loved that stuff you guys went and got him what oh dude Dave these guys know your weakness that's for da open it up you're too late Hey fatty shut up that is hilarious dude that is awesome that is so good oh damn bro I got you man I'mma put you on I'mma put you on my workout program on my launch I'm going get you in shape Dave might even get you some muscles oh new wifey going to like that they actually got us all of these pastries cuz I thought Dave was coming I have to now drive with these little sons of all the way to protect the film Solutions and try my best not to eat one I won't I won't I'm not going to cheat not a cheater like Dave oh look at these how ancient is that thing hey from Lamborghini looks like it literally starts a tractor thanks again my pleasure I paid the bill now you can open the door sir these guys are like you have no way out of here and what about a cold star you guys remember what this thing sounds like run let's go by the way Dave sent a reply I'm actually sure to pick up my wedding suit and I'm going to have to going have to make some changes in my life he's actually picking out his wedding suit right now oh man I still got rally confetti in here you never want to get confetti bomb on a rally it'll haunt you for years why do you have so many speed bumps in a shop that builds lower cars why who's always speeding through here that you have to put speed bumps in yeah we do why safety y California I'm not going to lie I'm a little bit nervous to drive this car for the first time cuz it's a lot of money and time invested in putting this together and I'm on slicks but luckily we're in Southern California so it's dry and actually fairly warm out the real question is will I make this huge shout out see you guys later let's go baby slicks with no heat well they're not awful but I gave it a little bit of acceleration there and a little bit of throttle and uh oh yeah they spun very easy we're going to need to get some heat in these tires how I miss this thing and the symphony that it is let's see GPS has me turning left here oh let's be very very quiet oh they're already dealing with something lot of cops lot of cops is going on oh that doesn't look good at all oh just chill chill chill chill chill chill chill chill chill chill continue stre let's be good let's behave ourselves I'm a little excited I just got my dream car back after a month and a half of not having it let's go almost at PFS I've survived the first drive almost there though now there is one more stop we need we're almost out of fuel oh we're going to scrape no left no LIF let's go let's get some fuel this is where we get to fill up and also get out have another good look at the front end I'm actually shocked I have not smashed anything it is freaking ridiculous looking it doesn't all quite make sense right now because well it's kind of like well you know 50 Shades of Gray two different carbons the splitter and the bumper and then it's a white wrap we only about three blocks from PFS Jason was really nice he stayed late so I could drop this car off and we can get this thing wrapped ASAP CU trust me guys it bothers me as much as it bothers you seeing this thing not done done done and then there's going to be all the little things I still got to dial in like I think the wing definitely needs to be a bit wider I might even go as far as actually lowering the wing down who knows you guys tell me if we should do that comment below we got one of those beautiful California sunsets and a straight road hey Jason we're coming man woo we're coming I think that was a big Fireball pretty sure it was I can't hear you what do you think desperately needs to be one color I don't think it's wide enough dude this thing is sick oh my God that is nuts and it squares off the whole car now it does this thing sick yeah right are you stoked on it it actually that was a fast turnaround dude Crazy Fast a month and a half yeah 6 weeks he said four to 6 weeks yeah it's sick yeah they killed it sweet so we're changing the color could you imagine I think for now we'll stick with the white cuz obviously it's easy all you have to wrap is basically the bumper and these fenders how do you like we kept it so that it was like so you could really tell its wide body yeah I like it versus blending that in on here looks clean yeah that's sick oh and you'll have to redo the side screw but that's like a one- day job 5 hours I told George already 5 hours one day yeah we get it done a one day one day dude it's so crazy looking it's so wide I know a couple people were like oh I don't like the triple louvers but like that's how they built a bunch of the race cars and again the neat thing is not all the mercy race cars that were built are all matching they're not all the same I have like a an endurance racing style front splitter for whatever reason Patrick and the guys at DTM were like it almost looks a little unfinished with this like way they did the cutout here is this going to stay carbon right yeah splitter stays carbon and then you just want to do the white around the edge or you want to do white up here that's a good question Jason's all about the details it's all the details same this this pie could go white or could be car that that'll go white for sure yeah you want to leave these exposed black or do you want to wrap them white I think we'll leave these exposed black can we ppf them not tomorrow but like eventually but yeah right now eventually P those right that'd be smart just so they don't get any Rock chips 5 6 7 14 21 42 vents 42 vents you have to do1 each $42 you have to do them individually what do you think I don't know with vinyl you just wrap it over it wouldn't you and then just cut it yeah ppf they'll individually do those they might be able to do like one giant piece and Slot it out we'll figure it out I'm not doing the install right yeah you're not doing the insto either we'll talk to Byron yeah the master the actual Master of Disaster once it's all cohesive I think it's going to look really sick plus we got to take all these decals off and I have a new very first time I've ever done this I have a new door decal for this huh what do you mean oh I like that because race car man that's R it's not going to say because race car but it's like because race car so I think we're going to put that on the door same Wheels yeah we rebuilt them now it's a 2in barrel got it that's what I thought or lip 2 in lip sorry this isn't 2 in that's 2 in Dave knows 2 in this is like uh four or five well that's five that's a 5 in barrel all the way on there yeah all right all right how about calipers leave the calipers same color for now just neutral finish or do you want to yeah we keep no we're going to keep them neutral for now neutral that we we lowered it more it looks good we had to because it's got a higher wheel Arch now yeah did you notice the tires I did yeah we talked about that off camera this weekend I can't believe I can't believe you did that your brother was tripping I don't want to see this out in the rain man no me neither because the wiper works now finally it's going to be like roller skates all around stand back here and look at it bro that's a real race car it's driving on slicks bro have you hammered it yet do yeah I did actually and it slipped out for like a second but after 2 minutes of driving it's full grip they're actually really good on the street I'm not going to lie so you have to track this one now that youve got actual track tires on I'm oh hell yeah I'm going to take it to the track oh yeah I also think I might put race seats in it I'm all for that and a cage well and harnesses if you do race seats will you send it back and get the seats to match or do you want it to stand out I I take the whole interior out read oh get out of here there's no way you're doing that I might take it all out and make it full because race car I might buy another mercy and I'll just take this interior and put it in that Mercy take the black interior from the other mercy and put it in this Mercy meanwhile I'm on a budget over here at night trying to calculate and do my stuff or find my my car parts and you're over you're like ah I buy another Mercy I'm just saying I love this car out of all the cars is the best car for me personally on planet Earth so I was thinking I might get another one and then do something on that too okay and you know who really likes Mercy mer now all of a sudden Dave yeah oo so maybe I need to get Dave and mercy again a different Mercy but maybe he needs a manual Mercy we can get them in non-manual someone just did a manual conversion that they haven't released it yet they haven't released it yet but we know it works cuz they've showed us videos but there is going to be a manual conversion for merci logo E gear Merc logos com to the market going to be a game changer game for sure this is sick dude dude they killed it it looks so good like the side Pro file is so menacing what do you want it in the back uh I'm actually just going to take it home you take my wife's car and I'll take this home I have to get Michaela to do a wheel alignment on it cuz right now it actually shakes like a mother sure yeah you need to get it full alignment and like check the toe camber all the stuff that you don't understand yeah that would make the car shake right yeah if your alignment's sof especially because now it's got a wider track up front I'd be shocked if everything just fit perfect and they had no adjustment that was needed so it shakes at 65 miles an hour well that's you shaking yeah by the way I got some treats for the guys okay so DTM the last time we went to DTM Dave ate their pastries okay you know Dave just eats whatever he wants so he ate all the pastries so the boys actually sent me cuz I thought Dave was coming today there's this really high-end place that makes these crazy pastries oh H yeah they bought like two boxes of them and I'm like well I can't eat them Dave shouldn't eat them Dave's going to need the his suit you can get away with eating one you're younger than me yeah the guys will be stoked oh just wait you guys it's going to get crazier once this is all wrapped it's going to look absolute Beauty I'm so excited should I swap this all out should I maybe just put some black seats in it for now I talked to Eric at E3 that if I kept this I might actually get the top part of the dash redone in black with a blue Stitch just cuz it is blinding in sunlight but yeah check it out slicks man look at those bad boys that's because race just cruising with my door open here Italian air conditioning that actually stops pretty good I wasn't sure if it was going to slide on the uh polished concrete floors in here especially with the Slicks how you doing how's it going good man this thing looks sweet wild right yeah it's going to look sweeter when it's all one bloody color absolutely so wide right this thing's crazy too I like that spec right that is beautiful blue that almost actually is like a blue that goes with my interior yeah this dude this thing got gray wheels yeah what yeah he spec it really really well gray light gray wheels is that fashion gray so I don't know that but I know that it's not a common choice for that one we swapped out the graphics we're doing the paint inserts as well W he's got a good Porche sick spec man that is like crazy that's cool he knows what he's doing he's the one who has the one of three recommission kro is the blue one with the so wow he's a race car driver this color would be really cool actually on that car yeah blue what color is it do you know the name of it oh man I know the color put you on the spot no I'm blanking right now it would look cool on this car a blue my
