I spotted the blue Volvo (posted previously here) and it appears he has changed all the white accents to black. Can you dig it? Sorry for teh crappy cell pic, he was far away, I had to crop and zoom in. Yes he has a huge Sobe window banner on the front and back.

Top Shelf Auto is the name yet they install a knock off failside kit. And then they brag about it being properly fitted yet zoom in on the shitty fitment around the headlights. lolmoney.

The stock wheels and exhaust are really killing it...

Also, "This year of 2012" sounds... awkward. And the video is really cheesy. And poorly filmed.
