Staying true to his car audio roots, Bruno had to juice up the sound, stuffing a double-DIN Alpine IVA-W200 head unit into the center console, which in turn was customized with silver carbon paneling, a triple pod gauge cluster (boost, fuel pressure and nitrous pressure) on top, and on the lower portion, a pod to mount the Auto Meter Nexus oil pressure gauge. The trunk is a serious display of Rockford audio equipment, showing off a Power 1000 amp and a Lightning Audio 12-inch sub, complete with neon lighting and two NX nitrous bottles on each side. Inside, the black leather upholstery was upgraded with graphite and beige alcantera fabric then applied to the Recaro Sport seats, while the headliner and C-pillars were also covered to match.
Bruno loves driving a car that pushes nearly 600hp on a daily basis and gets over 200 miles to the tank. "Even though it doesn't look like much, every aspect of this vehicle has been modified," he explains. "Most cars with this much work done to them never make it off the trailer they're towed around on. I drive this thing around regularly." If we could squeak by like this without pulling unwanted attention, we'd get down just as much, if not more.
