Our Story
Driven by Obsession Like many in our community, my journey began in the early 2000s. It started with The Fast and the Furious and an obsession with drag racing, but everything changed in 2006. One YouTube compilation of a D1GP street league video was all it took; I was mesmerized. Drifting wasn’t just an interest—it became a core need.
By 2007, I was behind the wheel of a Kouki S14, helping pioneer the first drift events in Kansas at Heartland Park Raceway. Influenced by the style of the Risky Devil crew and the All Star Bash legends, I knew exactly what I wanted: an S-chassis that was low, aggressive, and stylish. But like many enthusiasts, I didn’t have the funds to realize that vision, and I eventually sold the car to serve in the US Army.
The Long Road Back After five years of active duty and eight years as a contractor in Afghanistan, the dream never faded. Watching Lone Star Drift content while overseas reignited the fire. The moment I returned to the United States, I bought a 350z, ready to finally build the car I had envisioned for over a decade.
The Realization With the budget to finally buy the parts I wanted, I was met with a harsh reality: the market was flooded with sub-par products. I found that most aero parts were manufactured cheaply, pulled from molds too early, and prone to warping. I wasn’t willing to spend hard-earned money on a product that didn’t fit.
A Better Standard I refused to compromise, so I started researching. I dove into the science of composite manufacturing to understand how to create a light, durable, and precise aero kit.
Today, our process is different by design. We use patient, extended cure times to eliminate warping during off-gassing. We utilize a hybrid layup schedule featuring high-grade fiberglass cloth—rejecting the cheap chopped strand mat used by competitors. The result is a product that accounts for resin shrinkage, ensuring excellent fitment, superior durability, and a lighter weight.
We build the parts that I wished I could have bought.
