Sometimes a project car takes a few different directions before you truly get it where you want it to be, lots of guys will either give up and sell mid way through or simply loose interest in the build they once were so passionate about. Trung however, has a total of 6 years into this project and needless to say, it’s paid off! A quick glance will have you saying to yourself “was that an S2000?”, you realize it is and the appreciation for what has gone into the car becomes astounding. You may have caught one part that stood out to you as it passes you in traffic, or simply the sound is all that caught your attention, either way, it’s easy to tell a lot of time, thought and effort have gone into this car as it truly is a one of a kind S2000.

Majority of the work done on the car was done by Midtown Auto Imports including a fresh coat of Berlina black paint early this year to compliment the “Lord Vader” theme. It’s no garage queen either, this S2000 sees the streets almost every day in the summer and as many track days and time attacks as Trung can make it out too. With such an aggressive looking exterior it’s mandatory to have something under the hood and inside the car to back it all up, have a peek for yourself.
