TWCompetition put on a stunning display that included Brian Gee's 10-day-old Mercedes E55. It already had a Brabus kit and exhaust, but more was on its way. Almost as new was Brandon Hazzard's M3 with its Hartge Classic rims. Derrick Du had more time to work on his 323i and added a Breyton kit, 19" Work wheels, Brembo brakes and AA exhaust. Then there was Carson Yang's Audi S4. These are rare at the best of times, but his Oettinger styling, 19" HREs, 355mm Brembos, KW coilovers and Eisenmann exhaust make it almost unique. Finally, there was Bruce McLauchlin's red R32 with its color-matched 19" SSR wheels. The interior had been modified most, with Status front seats, no rear seat but a red grille over his subs, and amps under a false floor.
We liked Charlie Yang's black Passat with heavy tints, chrome accents and shiny 19" AT Italia rims. It also had a Votex body kit, FK coilovers, GIAC software and Techtonics downpipes. Then there was the E36 M3 of Brandon Marcus. He'd molded a Rieger widebody to his car and painted it blue with silver center panels. The wheels were 19" Hamann and there was a Euro M3 motor under the hood. With more mods to come, this M3 looks very promising for the future.
Finally, we should mention Sam Du's Mk4 Golf 1.8T. He's one of our regular snappers and his car boasts 19" BBS LMs, Euro bumpers and stubby mirrors, an MHW grille, a BMC intake, a GIAC chip and H&R coilovers.
