Sal Napoli of www.unique-motorsports.com out of Las Vegas, Nevada.
from what i know of the car it has a motor that was built by AS&M and the car use to be black, and now he has painted it yellow and put a set of 20 inch Boyd Coddington rodder wheels on it!!
for some reason i think the Wings West commando wing looks pretty good on it !!

I've seen that pic before, looks like he did some modifying of the interior from the video. I'd like to talk to this guy, he did an awesome job. I also have a vert that i'm trying to make into a show car and it looks like he did alot of things i'm planning on doing (like lowering w/gfx, changing color of top, interior swap).

Wow that car looks great !

Is it bagged or does it drive with all that rim tuck ? I would like to see some pics without the tuck.

Overall the car looks pretty cool. Just not a fan of the big azz wings and the 20" are too BIG IMO.

I really like the Rodder wheels and they were actually on my list to consider for my SS. But I was dissapointed when I called Boyd last month and found out a few things about the wheels I didn't care for. Unfortunately they don't polish the rear rim barrel, and with the large wheel openings (especially with 20's) it will look kind of ugly in there. The flat center portion doesn't allow for any real Lip size on the wheels. Plus they said the Rodders were not a true directional wheel so the wheels are "twisted" the wrong way on one side of the car. (I guess that's why you always see pictures of these wheels on cars from the drivers side only)

So I said "Hey, I thought you guys made custom wheels?" and they just said "Sorry" WTF?
I guess that is why I ordered the iForged wheels and didn't give Boyd any of my money.

Sorry about the rant and nothing against Sal for buying these wheels (they look 10,000 times better than his old ones!) I was just venting about Boyd's lack of oferings being a "Custom Wheel" builder.

I'm not too impressed, it think i have nicer looking car than that.,he could at least put some black badging on it, you know. I like what he has done but for a few more bucks it could look much better. and i think the interior is ruined, got one of those bing bing steering wheels and bing bing rims. bing bing = tacky.

Me likey. Im not usually a fan of the commando wings, but on certain cars i think it looks ok. Thats pretty gay about those wheels not being truely directional, that would make me not want to buy them at all. Im glad he got rid of those assasyn's though, those things sucked

Used to show against him, I really did not like the old wheels on the car, at least he finally got some better wheels. The car is not bagged, it is just lowered way low. Last I saw it still had a stock motor in it, and the engine compartment really needed some paint work badly. I agree with people on the interior-it needs some help. Overall, it is a nice car, however....


You should have seen the look on his face when I popped the suicide doors on him for the first time.
hehehe


Sorry couldn't help it.


Sal is cool.


I hope to have some hi res pics up by the second weekend in March, as that is when the first show is here.
