They dont rent it out because of insurance reasons. They just use it for their own personal uses (car shows, trips to the track, ect).

FD limo in super street mag

If you guys have the new super street there is a small pic, ~1.5" x 2" , of an FD limo with gull wing style doors for the rear doors.

If you have it its on page 165.

Sorry I can't post a pic. I don't have a scanner, maybe someone else with a scanner can post it.

Pettit Limo Pictures, info and a request

Ok guys, One of my tasks while I work at pettit is to do somthing with the limo. I spend last week down taking pictures, and spending some time with the car. First here is a lil rundown on the car..

We plan to set the record for the worlds fastest limo in this car.
Full unibody structure maintained. No tube framing at all.. Pettit spent well over 100k in building the frame and body on this thing.
Over 400hp as of right now.
Large Street port
Hi-Flow Pettit twins
Pettit unlimited ecu
Pettit intake
HKS Dragger exhaust canister with pettit 3inch piping. as well as a downpipe.. no cats..

Right now the interior is kinda done, nothing impressive in the rear. Front has some nice recovered leather seats and interior paneling done.

My request.. the car looks kinda funny without windows.. really funny.. I need some of you photoshopppers ect to see what you can do for the windows for the rear.. Im working on some concepts as well. Im working on some sponsors for the car. If you are a buisness and would be interested in sponsorship please shoot me a email because we are open to anything. My email is energiedev@cfl.rr.com

On to the pics..

i definitely think it needs more windows, but try to maintain the shape of the original FD side window. I think one long one or two short ones would look best.
