A wild show car wouldn't be complete without a crazy audio setup, so Lorenzo Dimichili of qualitymobilevideo.com fabricated the appropriate system. Diamond Audio components adorned the front and rear, while two 12" D6 subs hang from the rear shelf. Four Diamond amps float on a custom rack in the trunk and the crossovers are mounted in the floor. A 15" monitor mounted inside the trunk lid complete the mobile boombox.
In his final year touring the show circuit, Jeff has managed to win several Best of Show awards at Hot Import Nights. Satisfied with his achievements, Jeff sold the car to move onto bigger and more family-oriented projects - he's preparing to buy a new house and is planning for kids in the future. A family-friendly E60 M5 also sits in his garage with bolt-on parts awaiting installation. He tells us he won't go balls out on the M5, but if history repeats itself we'll be seeing Jeff again soon.
