The Spotlight
TenZo RS-5 370Z ver.2 by Daniel2Hot

This car is pure aggression and looks sort of like a tiger! It's a car that preys down on unsuspecting super cars on the streets and pwns them... badly. Firstly, the body has been widened up and toughened up and a drift wing has been fitted to improve aerodynamics, helping cooling and down force, which suits the car's theme nicely, and it also looks very aggressive. Chunky deep dish rims suit it nicely.
The colour combo used has achieved maximum contrast, with the human eye being most sensitive to yellow light, and combined with the gradients that add texture to the paintwork, and the contrasting black stripes results in a very striking and powerful look. The neat decals add to the performance look nicely and top off this performance "beast".

Twisted Thoughts by mostwantedforlife

This is probably one of Prostreet's hidden gems; mostwantedforlife's very unique collection of urban themed rides with very innovative colour combos. There are no other cars like them!
On this Evo, the body is not a radical transformation from standard but has instead been improved slightly, the standard aggressive look already being eye-catching enough. The wheels are nice, simple items with some nice dish. These parts are not the most radical the showroom has seen by far, but are effective.
The vinyls are where personality shines through however. The graffiti vinyl has been modified and graffiti stars have been placed around it. Red rays lie behind the layout to break up what would have been a boring black base, and create a layout that looks sort of like a graffiti comet. It's very striking and looks fantastic like it was done by a professional graffiti artist. This ride display's the tuner's unique visual style, and is a ride that brings something new to the showroom and can set trends, showing the importance of "doing your own thing".

TRANS_4W_3R by ::nica::

This ride is a dedication to TRANSFORMER, which everybody would probably know, and so the theme was something Transformer-like, and high tech. The theme has been realised successfully to create a very unique ride. Firstly, an aggressive carbon fibre kit immediately transforms the car's whole look, and gives it a very aggressive look. This, combined with some unique parts such as the unusual spoiler, split-hood, and flat, chunky rims gives it a very robotic look, and the modern vinyls compliment this parts choice and theme perfectly. As a result you have a mustang like no other!

Presentation of the Week
--Z-- by momo2

This week's ride has a clean and simple approach again, and it shows that less can be more. The bodywork is quite simple and the rims are a neat, classic sports design. The vinyls are also a neat two-tone with a modern stripe design forming a border, and one of the stripes being curved as an extra detail to spice the layout up. Although minor, small details like that can spell the difference between boring and cool. A neat Hankook decal with a shadow and a few small decals top off the layout, and create a neat ride that can represent its company with pride at a car show.
The presentation is also nice and simple, but effective. The baby blue paintwork stands out against the dark black background, and a smoke texture has cleverly been added behind the black part of the car so that it does not get lost in the darkness. A shiny floor and well done reflection also look good, and a light ray on top finishes off the nice presentation.
