- What is goin' on, everybody?!
Welcome back to another episode of "From The Gallery".
What are you wearing?
- I'm a hype god.
- I'm Gels.
- I'm Hype Daddy.
- All right Hype Daddy, and we have a special guest today!
- I'm Matt.
- And what do you drive Matt?
- 05 STI.
- [Dakota] Slammed to the ground that thing is,
(claps) boom!
- [Gels] Stupid low. - It's so good.
- [Gels] It's static, it's crazy,
I don't know how it functions. - [Dakota] Rugged masters.
- [Gel] I don't know how it works.
It's great, it's great.
So, welcome.
- Let's review some rides.
- Yeah.
- Let's do it.
- All righty, so the rules of the game are simple.
We're looking at four cars
from the Fitment Industry's Fitment Gallery.
We're gonna talk about what we like, maybe what we'd change,
maybe what we Dakota doesn't like.
Usually it's like some color accent
or something that he goes off about.
But either way,
if you want your car featured in an upcoming episode,
don't forget to add it to the Fitment Industries Gallery
over at fitmentindustries.com/add.
- Oh, he did it.
- Do it, do it. You gotta do it and then commit.
And then commit. - And then close it, close it.
- Close it.
- There we go. - Perfect.
- Hell yeah.
- He's a fricking natural, and then shoot us an email
at shop@fitmentindustries.com.
- Right there.
(clapping)
- Subject line review my ride.
We're gonna add it to the list.
We'll knock it out eventually.
The list it gettin' long.
It's awesome, and we got four cars today.
- Let's get to it.
- Oh, don't forget, Kansei Wheel giveaway.
Pick up the shirt. - Oh!
- You can enter in to win free set of wheels, Kansei Wheels.
It's awesome.
The shirt is dope.
- Hell yeah, I love Kansei Wheels.
I love me some Tandems or some TNBs.
- We're giving away some money
and some puppies and stuff too.
- Yep, yes very cool. - Cool.
- It's for a good cause.
- All righty, so, first up on the list,
we have a 2017 Subaru WRX and some Option Lab R716s.
So, we're looking at 18 by nine and half plus 35.
Some Michelin Pilot Sport 4s
on some Fortune
Auto coilovers. - Good coilover choice.
So, this is Tofu WRX's 2017 WRX.
Dakota, do you wanna start off the journey?
- Sure, I'll start her off. - All right.
- So, fenders are rolled, no rubbing or scrubbing,
rolled the rear fenders, fronts are fine.
Also, I had to cut part of the rear bumper for clearance.
Wow.
- Dang, for 18 by nine and halves?
That seems a little...
- Some wide tires.
- Yeah.
- Bad culture.
He's a bad boy.
(laughing)
All right, so looking at this thing.
We got some carbon fiber
goodies. - We've got some carbon fiber.
- We got sunglasses.
(laughing)
We got a vortex generator.
- [Gels] We got some Sharks.
- [Dakota] We got Hellatones AK twin turbos.
- [Gels] Perfect.
- In the grill,
oh, it looks pretty good.
I like the stance, good.
Coilover choice, I had Fortunatos on a couple of my cars
and I really enjoyed 'em.
With the Canards, I don't know how I'm feeling about that.
I think you gotta have a little bit of a splitter action
going on or something. - Sure.
Some other stuff going on.
- You need some other stuff with the Canards
to kinda pull 'em off.
But the car does look good.
I like the white on the bronze, that looks good.
A good color scheme.
They're kinda like a dark gold,
bronze-ish color. - Yeah.
- Yeah, it's like a textured kind of bronze.
Yeah.
- [Dakota] Option Labs are kind of a good wheel choice.
'Cause they look pretty good on anything, you know?
Very simplistic spoke design.
- [Gels] They're very popular
with the WRXs and
the BRZs and stuff. - Yeah.
- I see 'em a lot.
- Always from Utah.
You get to drive through the mountains, that's cool.
Looks like he has a nice exhaust on there.
Yeah, I really like the car.
I like the carbon fiber goodies.
I'd just add maybe a little more air on it.
- All right man.
Do your thing. - Maybe a little bit lower.
- All right so first glace at this car,
obviously it's beautiful. - Oh, there it is. (laughing)
Oh, he saved it.
I mean honestly, the first thing I like about this car is,
I'm a big fan of black
and white color combos. - Sure.
- I love the spoiler.
I love the front lip.
I'm definitely diggin' this rear fender piece.
- [Gels] Yeah the rear bumper looks really nice.
- Yeah this whole rear set up
just looks mean, it looks tough, you know.
I don't normally get all that without the wings sometimes.
Personally, golds not me,
but the wheels are a perfect choice for this car.
They look good.
I mean, in Utah you said,
driving through the mountains. - Yeah.
- This would be a blast
to drive this car. - Definitely.
- Just to drive this car.
Not sure if it's got any motor mods done
or anything like that.
Overall, I can't knock it for anything.
This is a good car.
Good car, man. - Cool.
Yeah, I completely agree.
I love the set up honestly.
I think he's got a good thing going.
It's clean, it's simple,
the carbon accents add quite a bit to it.
I'm with you on the Canards though.
I think it just needs a little extra
throughout the rest of it to kinda tie that together.
But overall I really like it. It's solid.
The Fortunatos are a great choice.
I think overall the setup itself is really good.
You got the Michelin tires, you got the Fortunatos,
and then the Option Labs,
which aren't crazy expensive or anything like that.
But they look good, they get the job done,
and they come in the right fitment for this year's Subaru.
- It's not really screaming for attention.
- Right, yeah.
- Yeah.
- It's just a good solid set up
and I have nothin' bad
to say about it. - Cool, should we
give it a rate? - It's got rain guards though.
- Just leave 'em alone.
(laughing) - All right, ready to rate it?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- All right on three.
One, two, three.
- Eight. - Eight.
- Seven and a half.
- Movin' on to car number two.
Kickin' it over to the Korean side of vehicles.
- Oh.
- KDM is (beep).
(laughing)
- We got a 2010 Hyundai Genesis coupe.
On some Platinum Forged S-72s.
You know what those are?
- [Dakota] They're platinum.
- [Gels] Okay.
So, we're looking at 20 by nine and a half
plus 20 in the front.
20 by 11 plus 20 in the rear.
Sitting on some Nitto
tires NT555s - A big 'ol boy.
- With some Airlift Performance air suspension.
So, this is KDM Dominican's Genesis.
So, I'll start her off here.
- All righty, there's a lot going on.
Good luck. - So, there is a lot goin' on.
I can't tell.
- It's very blue.
- Very, very blue.
There's a lot of platinum.
- Whoa, who, whoa. - Blue on the inside too.
- Okay, all right, all right, everyone. So, we got lots
of stuff goin' on. - We got all kinds of blues.
- [Gels] We got the air tank. We got the subwoofers.
We got blue in the trunk.
We got blue under the hood.
- [Dakota] There's blue everywhere, brother.
- [Gels] All righty, so.
- [Dakota] He has a Fitment sticker that looks like...
- That's not a Fitment sticker.
That's the badge that we keep.
(laughing)
There's one low though.
- He tricked me. - No, there's one on
the bottom of the window.
There's one on the bottom of the window you saw
when the trunk was up.
- No, it's the...
(laughing)
- He got you too!
- Got 'em.
- That's the first time that's ever happened.
He got both of us.
Dang it, why ain't you putting Fitment stickers on.
- Dang, this is...
- I'm gonna send out more stickers. (laughing)
- [Gels] So, this is what we're looking
at for exterior stuff.
We got some Boostec Carbon Fiber lips.
Different front bumper.
A VIS hood.
A VIS carbon grill.
ABS Dynamics Carbon Fender. So, we got a lot of carbon.
Carbon side splitters.
- [Matt] A lot of carbon.
- [Gels] A carbon roof spoiler.
- [Dakota] Atomic Teal.
- [Gels] Full Atomic Teal wrap.
- [Dakota] It's not blue, it's Atomic Teal.
- [Gels] And G4 Carbon Fiber Mirror.
We got a lot of stuff goin' on.
- [Dakota] You uncultured swine.
- [Gels] We got a lot of stuff going on.
- [Dakota] It's not blue.
- So, he's got literally everything listed.
If you guys ever want to take a look
at what this guys
got going on. - Holy cow.
- He's got me beat. I thought I listed a lot.
Wow.
(laughing)
- That's awesome I love when people do that though.
So, you can actually see.
- All right, so lets get into this a little bit.
Actually, I'm gonna let you take it away.
- Oh, wow.
- I'm gonna let you take it away.
- Oh, I'm speechless.
- I gotta think about this one for a second.
- First thing I love about this car is it's very striking.
I've always loved the Genesis body lines.
Kind of get that old AB-Flug Supra thing going on.
I think it's...
I just love the way it sits with the side skirts.
My favorite thing about this already is,
I'm liking the mix between,
it's got the new stance culture,
the new looks that's trendy nowadays,
but it's got this aggressive wild look to it
that brings me back to the early 2000s
without that being a bad thing.
- [Gels] Sure.
- [Matt] And it's not wide body.
- [Gel] Right.
- I just love, I mean, down to the trunk set up
and the sub woofers,
I mean every piece of it has been, you know,
it's been thought out.
The Status seats are gorgeous
and I know those are not...
I'm too poor for those.
I mean, even on the engine,
I like that the owner took the color combo.
He matched it down to the seats.
I mean, every little piece.
I don't know if I could...
The only thing I guess I'm not a fan of
is the way the bumper and the side skirt,
you know, work with each other.
But overall, a very, very striking car
and definitely expresses the owner very well.
Well done.
- Yeah, cool.
- Atomic Teal.
Let's check it out.
So yeah, this guy's got carbon goodies up the wazoo.
I'm fan of the Airlift Performance air suspension, NT555s.
Not bad.
You know what this car is?
- [Gels] What's that?
- [Dakota] This is one of those cars
that you bring to a car show and you get a trophy.
This is a car show winner, you know?
- [Gels] That's very true.
- [Dakota] A lot of custom stuff done to this,
which is cool to see.
A lot of powder coating.
A lot of carbon fiber goodies.
A lot of color matching.
It's a bit much for me.
There's a lot, a lot, a lot of blue.
- [Matt] Yeah, there is.
(laughing)
- Goin' on.
I respect it.
It's very cool and
a lot of work has been done to this car.
So, I enjoy that.
I would just like to see, rather than the blue wheels.
Are they blue?
- In one picture it looked like it, but...
- [Matt] In another picture it looked purple.
- This looks like they're super blue.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, blue-ish, light-ish purple-ish.
But in that one they look, maybe that was...
- Maybe those are different wheels.
Maybe those are different wheels.
- Maybe just like a brushed silver would look great.
- That's what I'm saying. - With like a black lip.
- Yeah.
- I would love to see like a brushed silver.
Maybe even just a polished set up on there.
I think that would look clean.
The Atomic Teal does look cool.
However, I don't like following in
to the interior with the seats.
I don't think those need blue.
- [Matt] It looks like the door panels too a little bit.
- [Dakota] Yeah, it's too much.
It's too much. - Okay.
- I'd rather just see all
black seats in there. - All right.
- But, overall it's very cool that he did all that to it.
- So, if there's one thing I do have to say about this car,
I absolutely love that no expense was like spared on it.
All the parts that are listed in here
are like high-end parts. - Yeah.
- [Matt] Like, you're looking at quality carbon fiber.
Your lookin' at quality body kit
and like the exhaust and stuff,
you got like a ARC System.
It was like a ARC Performance Exhaust.
Those aren't cheap. - Aren't cheap, yeah.
- Like you got the airlift performance suspension,
you got the Forged wheels.
This was thought out and I can really appreciate it.
I think the car has come together very, very well.
I absolutely love the color of this.
I do agree with Dakota though,
bringing that color into the interior,
it is a little different.
I think it's 'cause it's a different shade of blue.
Maybe that's what's throwing me off a little bit.
- And it's just too much blue.
- Like Dakota said, it's definitely a trophy-winning car.
- Right, yeah.
- Like, you look at it, whether it's your style or not,
it just shows quality care,
quality parts. - Yeah.
- Just everything. - Throughout the whole thing.
- It's a well thought out build.
- Definitively.
Cool.
Ready to rate it?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Alrighty, on three.
One, two, three.
- Eight and half. - Nine.
- Nine.
- Alrighty. - Right down the train.
(clapping)
- All right, now moving over to the European side of things.
We're just travelin' all round the world here.
We got a 1983 Volkswagen.
- I'm a-peeing or your a-peeing.
(laughing)
- We're both a-peeing.
- All right.
Rabbit.
Volkswagen Rabbit, 1983. - Yes!
- [Gels] On some ARE Meshes, some Toyo Proxes tires,
and Raceland Coilovers.
(cheering)
We were doin' so good. - I don't know about all that.
- We were doing so well.
I'm just kidding.
(laughing)
No rubbing, no scrubbing.
Fenders pulled and rolled.
No spacers.
Original BBS body kit.
So, this JFelici's
1983 Volkswagen.
So, I'll start it off
and I promise I'll actually go through it this time.
(laughing)
So, I absolutely love these cars.
I don't know why.
And I think everybody does have a soft spot
for the Volkswagen
or like the older GTIs or something.
They're just, they're just so freakin' cool.
- [Matt] They got the body wide lines right.
- [Gels] Exactly. - Yes.
- And that's the thing,
you kind of look at these at these cars
and you look at the E30s and stuff like that.
You're going to see them around for a long time.
Just because they're such a timeless car I feel like.
- They're boxy but in the best way possible.
- Yeah.
- They're always gonna look good.
They're some cars out there,
they look good, like the MR2. - Timeless.
- Like the MR2 Spider.
- Like the third gen MR2s.
- Like the Chrysler PT Cruiser.
- Or the Chrysler Crossfire.
They look good for like a couple years
and then it's just like, no.
- Something like the Pontiac Aztek.
- Pontiac Aztek, those will always look good.
- What about Nissan Juke?
(laughing)
- Nissan Juke will always look terrible.
- Oh! - Oh!
We disagree.
- Either way.
(laughing)
Either way, I absolutely love this thing.
It doesn't look like he has a ton of information on it
but it looks like we got some custom interior going on.
We got aftermarket seats in there
that look really, really good actually.
- [Matt] That's cool. - [Gels] I like the pattern
on there. - Yeah.
- [Gels] The color of it...
I know this was like a huge color a few years ago.
- [Dakota] Yeah, that was a bit ago.
- [Gels] Like the whole Seafoam trend thing.
I don't know if that was kind of...
- [Matt] Easter's not here yet. (laughing)
- [Gels] Well it is a rabbit so I mean, you know?
But I love the yellow headlights.
The wheels are a solid choice for this.
I think that mixes very well.
I love that it's an original body kit on there.
Overall, this thing is very clean.
I like it a lot honestly.
- I love this thing.
It looks super cool.
He went all out with it, I really like it.
And yes, the color (sighs),
this car can pull it off. - Yeah.
- I am kinda sick of seeing that color,
but this car does pull it off.
The seats look amazing.
I love those.
Those look really cool.
The interior on this is bad-ass.
The Fitment is real good.
I'm surprised he went with Raceland coilovers.
- [Gels] Me too, yeah. - [Dakota] I'm mean I've heard
they ride pretty rough.
We had a guy here who was runnin' 'em
and he wasn't too much of a fan.
So, I may like to see a different suspension set up on it.
Maybe put it on air, 'cause it's a Euro car
and if you have a Euro car your obligated to put it on air.
That's just the rules.
(laughing)
- [Gels] All right.
You heard it here first.
- No, but overall, this thing is super clean.
He's obviously taken very good care of it.
And yeah, there's not too much else to say.
Color scheme, it's good,
even though it's overplayed. - Yeah.
- He did it well.
I love the car.
- [Matt] I won't beat a dead horse. I do like the green.
It's not as Easter-y as I thought,
now that I'm seeing
the pictures. - Sure.
- [Matt] Fitment is absolutely perfect
and I love this GT.
I don't know where it comes from.
If it's an original thing for Volkswagen
but this livery its got, or liver-y, whatever you say,
it's perfect on the side.
Even down to the original badging.
The seats are perfect.
- [Gels] The seats are phenomenal.
They're really cool.
- [Matt] I mean even the little details,
like they did a good job with the paint.
I think it's painted.
I don't think it's wrapped. - Yeah.
- The way you see the BBS on the side skirt.
I mean, the car just looks immaculate.
I'm with everyone on the choice of race lines.
But, you know, being out in Europe,
you never know what you can get.
That be import issues, you know.
It might be just too expensive.
The only thing I'm not a big fan of is,
I'm seeing light in the pictures,
I'm not a big fan
of yellow lights. - Okay.
- [Matt] It's a little JBM for me.
I don't know if it was sourced in Euro.
It just doesn't work with the green and yellow.
But, overall, this thing is beautiful.
The body lines.
Even down to, I think he shaved his bumper.
Somethings really clean about it.
- [Gels] Yeah, I don't know
if that's just the kit itself
or if maybe he did some extra modification to it.
- For an old classic car,
I mean, this thing is absolutely perfect
and it looks just like a blast to go around town in.
- I was just gonna say one more thing here.
I just noticed too,
the headlights are like a half and half.
Which is like, the bottoms are yellow
but the tops are clear.
- [Dakota] Oh yeah. - [Matt] Or if its a bulb.
I don't know if there's
two bulbs in there maybe. - Maybe.
- [Matt] And it's getting kind of the reflection.
- [Gels] Yeah, I don't know.
- [Matt] I might take that yellow back, if that's the case.
- [Dakota] Interesting.
- All right.
Cool. So, you guys ready to rate it?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- All right.
On three.
One, two, three.
Nine.
- Eight point five. - Eight point five.
- Woo.
Moving on, to the last, fourth, and final.
- What do we got?
- We got a 2019 Toyota Corolla.
- [Matt] Oh. - Oh.
- I was thinking Supra, Supra, Supra.
(laughing)
- But it's the hatchback Corolla.
Max wanted to buy one of these
and then he showed up to the dealership
and then they sold it.
(laughing)
Not to Max.
- Tell me why I like these things.
- It was a great day.
- Why do I really enjoy these things?
- I don't know.
Because they're so freaking cool.
- They look really nice.
- All right, so, we got this 2019.
This is a Saozyn.
- (mumbles) Cut that out.
- You can't say that.
(laughing)
So, this is a Saozyn's 2019 Toyota Corolla.
On some Kansei Tandems.
- [Matt] Oh nice.
- Hey we're doing a give away with them,
you should go pick up a shirt.
- Yeah, check it out.
- And go win some Kansei Tandems.
- You'll win Tandems for yourself.
- Or KNPs or Corsas or Rokus.
So, 18 by nine and a half plus 22,
on some Delintes, on some Airforce air suspension.
- He got his air suspension from the Airforce?
- That's some quality product.
Alrighty, Dakota, I'll let
you take her off here. - Dang.
But on a real note, I really like these cars.
- You picked this car didn't you?
- Yeah.
So, I'm honestly, the blue,
it's already stuck in my mind with the Ford Focus RS
and they've already kind of did that Nitro Blue look.
- [Gels] It is very similar isn't it?
- So, yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the blue on this car.
'Cause all I can picture is a Ford Focus RS
when I see that color now.
- [Gels] It's just like, more pissed off.
- Or like Mustangs, you know they're always in those.
It's like a Ford thing now in my brain.
But I have seen other colors of these.
Dude, I just frickin'...
Somethin' about 'em.
I mean, they're naturally aspirated.
- [Gels] That exhaust is ridiculous.
- [Dakota] Yeah, dude.
They look gnarly. - [Matt] A lot of difficulty.
- [Dakota] And you know me, I love hatchbacks.
But yeah, hatchbacks, I absolutely love these things.
They look super gnarly.
It looks, I don't know if it's the stock diffuser,
or an aftermarket one.
- [Matt] That's gotta be aftermarket.
- [Dakota] It already looks good.
The exhaust looks awesome.
The Fitment mount.
Damn son, that (beep) right on point.
I love it.
The Tandems look super good on here
and then the gray color that Kansei has with this blue,
is like paired perfectly.
- [Gels] Definitely.
- Yeah, no, I am not going to do anything else to this car.
- You'll take it?
- I think the side skirts on there.
- You're sold? - Yeah, I'm gonna drive it.
- All right.
- It's mine now. - Are you gonna go buy it
and then it's gonna be sold to someone else?
- I'd daily drive it.
Gotta love it. - Max is gonna kill me.
- I'd drive it yeah.
Love it or list it?
I'm loving it.
(laughing)
- No, honestly, I'm with you.
So, I love the blue as much as everyone's
sick of the Ford blue kind of deal right here.
I've always been a fan of this color.
Ever since I first saw my car years ago
with painters tape on the front.
Shameless plug, it's just weird.
(laughing)
- Painter's tape blue.
I just see painter's tape blue
and I'm just like it's cool.
I've always wanted to see...
This is before wraps were a thing,
what a car would look like in that color.
- Painter tape your whole car. - I'm definitely with it.
This gray is awesome,
even with this little red accent
on the front lip is pretty cool.
- [Dakota] Yeah, it pops a little bit.
It gives it a little bit more color.
- [Matt] Props on the fitment.
I mean, it's absolutely perfect.
For someone to take a newer platform,
which is awesome to see
people kind of daring to be different with these cars.
- Especially with Kansei too, because I know
they market towards the older classic
JDM stuff. - Yeah.
- So, to see a brand new car being able
to pull it off like that. - Yeah, that was a bold move.
- That setup is really cool. - It's a very classic style.
I mean, this quad exhaust is beautiful.
It looks like a stock diffuser,
but, whoever did this quad tip, it's awesome.
It accents this downward line with the OEM body line.
It's really, really sharp.
I mean, good choice overall on wheels
and I mean, not too much to say about it.
It's a good economy car. - Yeah, yeah.
- But it's definitely a...
- That's the one thing, she's not quick.
I promise you that.
- But will it beat an FRS?
That is the question.
- Oh.
Boom, boom.
- Yeah, probably.
(laughing)
- Honestly, it's party in the front,
or is it business up front, party in the back?
(laughing)
It's just overall just a gorgeous car.
The wheels, the aggressive lines
of the wheels match the car very well
and overall it's just...
- The stock headlights too just kill it for me.
- Yeah, it's a good job by Toyota.
Good job by whoever thought this up.
- Yeah, they're killin' it.
This car, literally just,
I feel like just came out of nowhere, you know?
- [Dakota] Yeah.
I've seen a lot of 'em pop up in the gallery recently too.
- [Gels] Yeah, they've been popping up in the gallery.
Man why are people addin'
so many fricking Corollas to the gallery?
(laughing) And then it's like, we looked at them,
and we're like, "Oh, okay". - All right.
- So, no, I'm really excited to
see these start popping up more in public.
I hope this summer we start to see them
around Wisconsin a little more
and at the shows and stuff like that where we get out to.
- [Dakota] Yeah, I haven't seen one out in the wild
I don't think yet. - No, I haven't.
Because this thing is really, really nice.
The fitment is absolutely perfect.
There's nothin' that I would change about this, honestly.
The only thing that I would maybe, so I lied,
maybe the only thing I would do is maybe some carbon.
A little dash.
- Yeah, if there's carbon out for 'em yet.
There probably isn't any parts
out for 'em. - A little sprinkle.
- Maybe even a carbon wrap on the mirrors.
Something to break the colors up or something.
- Yeah, I wouldn't even be mad, because it's a Corolla
and it's a brand new Corolla.
So, I know there's probably not
a ton of aftermarket support out there for it.
Just a sprinkle of carbon would be perfect.
Are we ready? - Yes.
