- My name is Alex from Fitment Industries, Alex.FI
and I'm here to introduce to you
the build that will ultimately,
and hopefully make it to the Acura booth at SEMA 2021,
in about 60 days of filming this.
(upbeat music)
It was Mario, myself and Andrew
and we had gone to SEMA with like 200 subscribers
and like 30 views a video
and we had to convince, you know,
90 different suppliers to partner with us
to let us sell wheels and tires and now four years later,
we get to come back to SEMA,
except this time with a lot of those vendors knowing us,
and one of them wanting a car in our booth.
So this is my 2007 Ferrari F430.
For those that know it,
it was a branded title build from a channel that we did
a couple, maybe a year and a half ago
and it's been through a lot.
Hey guys, so we're here and it is episode two
of the build that hasn't actually even started yet.
So in today's episode, we're kind of diving into changing up
the fitment on the 430,
when it's aired out specifically for SEMA,
because we wanna try to get more of like a fender
to lipish fitment, a little bit wider, tighter.
(upbeat music)
Steering wheel, center console, air management, wheels,
tires, fitment max, new frunk in six weeks.
- Everything but the Ferrari part should go really well.
- Hey guys, we're here, hey, good morning Banker.
Today, we're actually running through the 430.
We're gonna be talking a little bit about
some of the interior pieces that we're gonna have
to get done and get ready for SEMA.
He's walking into work.
He has not even touched a vehicle yet,
and he's already dirty, I don't understand how that works.
- Owner of the dryer this morning.
- How are you, you haven't touched anything yet.
All right, let's talk about the interior.
So one of the things that you're gonna notice
about this car, when you look inside
is that it is very, very orange,
which actually isn't that bad.
I'm a huge fan of peanut butter, I like the color.
I think it's really enjoyable, but it is,
we'll call it warm.
(upbeat music)
So we're gonna start this video with me in the front,
but I'm actually not too sure
I actually wanna do that for multiple reasons.
I can't tell you any of them.
They're not good in any way, shape or form, but we're back
and today we're gonna be talking about exterior upgrades
for the 430 to get it ready to go to SEMA,
which is gonna be at the inside Acura booth.
That's gonna be partnered with another car
that's probably way better than mine in every single way.
(upbeat music)
There's no torque, mew.
All right, we're here to answer questions
that YouTube decided to ask me about the F430 build
and the fact that it's actually heading to SEMA.
Now contrary to popular belief,
this is being filmed in the middle of September
and we are making excellent progress.
(upbeat music)
But okay, so it is the 20th
and I was just wondering if it was at all possible,
could we put this back together for that show in seven days?
- You want the car done right now?
- No, not all of it.
We need this kind of needs to be put back together.
Need headlights 'cause I wanna drive it for sure.
The wheels.
- You wanna drive it?
- Yeah, drive it aggressively too.
- Are you gonna have this?
- Maybe.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so first off,
I wanna say the people in the questionnaire comment video
from last week, judging my socks and sandals,
you guys are mean, and that needs to stop, all right.
What we did is we partnered with Exotic Car Gear.
They are who I go through for pretty much all
of my carbon fiber bits and pieces.
So I asked him if he could come along
and help me make my fugly steering wheel not fugly
and he did, he so totally did,
and I don't know how to get in there
to show you more carefully.
We finally have some things coming together.
Hi guys, we're gonna be opening up our Acura boxes
because Banker wants to know what I actually got him.
Here's one, sponsored, here you go.
You can put that on the other side
of your dirty white shirt.
Would you like another one?
I'm gonna get you another one, just so I can get a picture
of me holding both of them like cannons.
All we have to do is put these two in this very,
very small space, in a cool way in nine to 10 days.
All right, well, Banker,
I wish you the best of luck.
Stay tuned for the next episode where we get it all done.
You wanna know why, because we're the best.
(intense music)
So we're finally here down in Gatlinburg, Tennessee,
Slammed Enough is officially over Saturday
and Sunday is an absolute blast, had a good time
and we were able to take home Best Euro in the old 430,
which was pretty cool.
(upbeat music)
So we're gonna get to work
and we're gonna mount these rear tires.
We're gonna see if they fit.
We don't even know if they fit, they should fit.
- Hopefully, if they don't fit, we can't order tires again.
- We're gonna need new wheels.
- [Banker] It's like the third set of tires.
- And tires, it's a good place.
You know where to get your wheels,
tires suspension from though.
Oh, sorry, Fitmentindustries.com.
All right, let's actually do this.
Why is this even here?
- [Banker] That is how we got that caliper off.
- I'll take things I didn't wanna know for 200.
All right, let's go.
- Just a little heat.
(upbeat music)
Look at that, no, it looks good.
It looks like it's gonna work.
So we're gonna get this put back in the car.
(upbeat music)
- Come on, guys, my name is Dustin, I'm with Custom Offsets.
Been on the channel a couple of times here before.
We are mid SEMA crunch,
trying to get everything ready to go.
So one of the last steps is we're gonna put some decals
on this thing for all the sponsors and stuff.
So I got those cut last night.
I cut them at about midnight last night.
So truck goes on or car goes on the trailer
in like 25 minutes, it goes on the trailer.
(upbeat music)
- So I remember back in 2017,
when we first came to SEMA as Fitment Inc at the time,
there was three of us and we had three wheels samples,
and we had a dream to pretty much get as many wheel samples
as you could possibly get so that we could shoot content.
We kind of had to, we'll call it lying,
but we had to bend the rules a little bit to convince this,
all these vendors that we were bigger than we actually were
and when I walked into Central Hall in 2017,
I remember standing right next to Mario,
right at the door over there and saying,
"Oh my God, this is the coolest thing ever.
"Wouldn't it be a dream
"if we could actually get a car here at SEMA."
That's kind of the thing that's so nuts about this though,
is that this car was never intended to be a SEMA car.
It was never intended to even be here.
It was never intended to go through
all of the like transformations and changes.
It was never really meant to be anything crazy,
yet here it is.
