Freshest JDM Hybrid

Once in a blue moon a customer will bring in a car that warrants some real estate on the internet super highway.

This customer, has the hands down cleanest Prius we have seen on the road. Of course there are crazier things out there like the several thousand dollar Tommy Kaira Body Kit, but this car is a practical car done right.

Eye on Details, Legit Tom's Shift Knob.

Even finer on the details, CF Toyota Emblem.

Real CF Mirror Covers

100% Real Volk TE37's in that classic bronze.

Some green footwork, with Tein's.

Moon Priviledge Revoked: Racing, Keep your Eyes on the Prize.

Posted by Gruppe S On Tuesday, July 05, 2011 0 comments

With RPM's soaring, tires melting, and apex's being hit; a time attack is no place to be staring at the mysterious heavens and double rainbows. The 2011 Scion TC features a gorgeous 2 window Moon Roof that really opens up the cabin and lets in a lot natural light giving it a real roomy and spacious feeling.

HOWEVER!!

This is racing and you have to keep your eyes on the prize. Rather than giving our driver a luxurious experience, we sealed in driver with Lexan. Lexan being the lighter version of its heavier set sister; glass, has helped to shave significant weight on the car, not to mention make the car safer for racing conditions. We onyl painted the inside portion so at least the room can still have that blingy shimmer. can't let all the style go away.

Layin' Down the Pipes. Custom Exhaust for our Scion TC Time Attack Car

Posted by Gruppe S On Thursday, May 26, 2011 1 comments

The stock Scion Motor is a solid platform and from the factory, the stock exhaust holds back all that power just to keep it quiet on the streets. Our fabricator, Sy has made this custom exhaust to unleash that hidden potential. Its basically a straight pipe with the exception of a small resonator we put in the back in order to give it a nice mean tone.

It sounds awesome and we'll post up a small video of it real soon just to give you an idea of the power underneath the hood.

[ Summertime Dieting] Seibon Carbon Fiber x Hood/Hatch/Trunk

Posted by Gruppe S On Wednesday, May 11, 2011 3 comments

We here at Gruppe-S (Along with most Import Owners) love Carbon Fiber.... We'd eat it for breakfast if it was possible. Its a great composite material being ultra lightweight, stylish and durable. For our Time Attack TC we definitely wanted to make it as competitive as possible, and to lighten it up we had to go with the best brand out there, SEIBON Carbon.

Engineered to have awesome fitment, our Seibon Parts not only give our Project car a mean look, the vented hood allows for increased air flow in the engine bay for additional cooling as well as SIGNIFICANT weight savings. The trunk and the hood are on and the doors are coming in real soon so stay tuned!

JDM x FLOSS: Kyo-Ei Crystal Lugs (Only 50 Sets Ever Made)

Posted by Gruppe S On Monday, April 25, 2011 0 comments

If you have seen VIP / Bippu you have seen Crystal Lugs. But rather than having a removable piece where the crystal is attached like a lot of the other brands, these bad boys are a solid single piece lug.

Don't be fooled that these lugs like dainty, they are made by Kyo-ei, the same people who brought you the ENTIRE Project KIC's lineup including the infamous R40's.

So what makes these lugs different? There are only 50 sets ever made! Talk about being exclusive. Brian and his LS460L are going to keep it the opposite of lowkey. Pics will follow soon of his car equipped with his new Weds and these shiny new additions.

Bippu Files: Kranze Bazreia Crazy Gangster

Posted by Gruppe S On Wednesday, April 20, 2011 0 comments

Anyone can appreciate the fine art of VIP. Reppin the Bippu style is a very specific task, first you buy the wheels and then you buy the car and modify it to fit the wheels.

Saw this set floating around the shop and I had to take a quick shot. Another set of Kranze's leaving our doorsteps from WEDS Sport USA, preparing to floss. Gorgeous...
