I saw the work they did on the topless race car at CES 07 it looked like ass. I would have been ashamed to have my name anywhere on that car. But if you talk to him it's top notch.

I saw the episode when Will went to CES and Gary Biggs was with Gordon's car. I could tell he wasn't impressed with how they finished it off. It looked like garbage. The greatest thing about that is how they took it all the way to the Installer Institute in Florida to get it wired in a day. I just Googled it, 1084 miles doorstep to doorstep each way. Pretty inefficient to drag a ride almost 2200 miles just for some wiring. Even if it was just a commercial for Installer Institue. II is the school that Dave "The Fish Man" Riviera teaches at. Now that's a true custom audio guy, not Reme. Should have let them do some work along with Gary Biggs and left Reme and the "Hack Attack" to do more crap for 50 Cent. Would have been a better product. And what was up with the paint job on that thing? Put some frickin color in it for crying out load, it's a NASCAR Whip.

if you went to any interior shop they'd be using sem in a spray can to paint plastics quit ur bitchin until uve heard one of there vehicles in person dont talk shit theyre runin some of the cleanest sounding systems that arent competition level out there... i dont dig the show just dont agree with people bashing on others work

Sorry to disagree, but "REAL TOP INTERIOR SHOPS" don't use sem products. "REAL" shops make there interior formulas in basecoat/clearcoat with flattening agent, trust me on this. I'm not saying some shops don't use sem, i'm just saying "TOP NOTCH INTERIOR SHOPS" don't use it! I did a interview on Speedvision during SEMA 2006 and had to be stuck backstage getting "miced up" with Will Castro, trust me, that guy doesn't know jackshit, nor does his staff about cars! Sorry, but i reserve the right to talk any shit i choose about that hack and his trumped up bullshit shop. I'm a real car builder, i know even more real car builders and trust me when i say its very insulting to watch idiots like that on television giving everyone the wrong inmpression about "REAL" or "UNIQUE" car building. These idiots wouldn't know "REAL" or "UNIQUE" car building if it pissed in their faces!

all i was gettin at is that the vehicles ive heard sound good and ive seen a shop do an interior on a car that won at pebble beach with sem im sure certain employees are dousche bags and corners have been cut and theres always different ways to do things but dont start a hate form over some shit you saw on t.v.

can anyone post up pictures?

i remember they hired that one new guy to work with reme' on the audio and he made some crazy looking box he seemed to have some skill and pat the interior guy is pretty good also but hey lets mount the exact same rims on these 2 mercedez cars because thats unique!!! they even match!!

Did you see the episode where they had Rivera as a guest installer? Reme and everybody were hatin on him like he was some show lackey that didn't know what the hell he was doing. Dave could run circles around Reme and his "skills".

Ya I like the episode where the guy came from like LA or somethign after Katrina and start working there and then told Will his work was crap and junk. Will got so pisssed and told his ass to leave. And said nobody is going to talk bad about my shop and our work.

I guess what I find interesting is not only is Will Castro way too stuck on himself, but watching how some of the shit is done is a joke, I remember the one episode he hired that one guy who called him out on shitty work, and Will fired him for it. But the other thing that boggles my mind would be dont any of the celebs or sports jocks watch their cars getting rattle canned outside and how shit was tore apart?? I mean if I saw my car on a TV show getting rattle canned outside, I'd probably be like WTF!!!! Amazes me that he hasnt lost work from that, or if he has its not general public knowledge.

ok they are building these cars for grown men who go jewlery shopping for them selves...what can a grown ass man who wears diamonds know about hardcore work haha
