News and Updates
Here we show the latest trends and innovations in customizing vehicles, as well as car shows, and recent events.
PhotoTune
Some of us really can’t decide on what mods to put on our rides to make it more visually appealing. So the best way to find out, is to send it in to have it PhotoTuned, and we’ll show you a mock-up, tuned in Photoshop, of what your ride could potentially look like once those mods are installed. Neat huh?

Hi David,
Thanks for posting. I have a shop for you who says they’re looking forward to take this on. They can do it in Fiberglass or Sheetmetal. They’d be needing pictures all around. Please contact WarpZone New Age Customs at Sta. Mesa. 0917 5131778. Let me know how it turns out! Thanks!

Hi aSTIG,
I’m not sure if this the right website to ask, but I hope you can refer a shop who does custom made vans or trucks into a roving kitchen. We need 4 units of this.
Best,
Peachy

Hello aSTIG,
Tried registering to the forum but it’s unavailable at the moment. Was looking for a place to get ideas and info from. I recently got an old lancer, “singkit” per my research, but I’m not particularly sure which type or model. I was looking for people who know of them extensively and who also might be able to work on it. Hope you could swing some help my way.
Cheers!
