Concept MOB Rover Underway! Progress thread from start to finish.

My range is in for a makeover. By the time the truck is done, it will be MOB status.

Currently the only mod is the 35% full windshield and limo all around tint.

Coming soon will be
-Matte grey body with gloss black accents and roof
-Black 23' Rims (not sure on type yet)
-Suspension Module
-Painted headlights and taillights with halos
-Re-do of the interior upholstery


As she sits today, the makeover begins early next week.
*better quality pictures promised on the next update.

Still have the GS, reverted it back to stock. Just acquired an X5M, Panny Turbo, and this Rover within the last few months.

Yes, the cars are shared between myself and my biz partner.

Panny is stock.

X5M is chipped and tuned to about 720hp. Also on the second transmission.

We also have an e92 M3 incoming, going to do the first widebody GT5RS kit sponsored by Vorsteiner and Supercharged by VF. Planning on having it chrome gold for Goldrush, and also planning to do bullrun with it.

I think the thicker tires keeps it from looking too Dub-y, but please don't go for that tread pattern.

Fat tire look is always good, especially on a truck.

According to his signature on Luxury4play, he still owns them.

I've also seen that pic of the two X5s on Bimmers FB page with the quote From Charles, "My X5 next to my friends X5."

Charles is currently here in DFW & according to him, that X5M may be traded in for something smaller come 2013, possibly for even a GT-R.

Chipped & tuned is putting it lightly as well; fully modified exhaust w/ Stage 2 tune to 700whp/700lb-ft of torque.

Yeah I saw a thread on the car on L4P and the exhaust sounds really nice. I'm really confused now though

Charles is my business partner.

Rick, yes, he is there for school at SMU for now.


The X5M was going to go away, but now will stay in the family and be here in CA while he gets a new M3 widebody sponsored by VF and Vorsteiner.


Decided to order these with fatty tires. 24" with cooper 290s.

I own a clothing company and do some other little things to help out, my next project being this car venture with Clutch. My advice would be to not be scared of your dreams and to take the risks necessary to do something you love. Personally, I can't sit in a cubicle all day without going crazy, so i took some risks and they paid off.
