This BMW 1602 has recently been spotted on eBay where it received a full truck conversion by Ottowerks to make it a unique piece of BMW history. This model was a classic for the Bavarian carmakers, which eventually paved the way for the 3-series we all love today. However, since they never released a truck version of the sporty coupe, California based tuners Ottowerks have transformed it.

Vorsteiner BMW M3 GTRS5 Tuning Kit
Even though we haven’t seen an official announcement for the retiring of the BMW M3 E92 model, Vorsteiner has released this kit with a hint. They stated that this BMW M3 GTRS5 program will be “commemorating the retiring” of the famous coupe. The car tuning firm plans to continue the GTRS widebody series with the new BMW model, however it’s going to be hard to not like this M3 kit.
Novitec Rosso Ferrari FF Tuning Program
The all new Ferrari FF has received a new sports car tuning program from the famous company Novitec Rosso. Bone stock, the Italian exotic holds a 6.3-liter V12 engine producing 651 horsepower with 683 Nm of torque. Novitec offers four separate power upgrades for the Ferrari FF, stating off with a basic ECU tune. This brings the output to 674 horses and 696 Nm of torque, while the addition of a new stainless steel exhaust jumps it up a bit to 679 HP and 701 Nm of torque.
Retrobuilt Ford Mustang 1969 Shelby GT500 Package
Fresh off the press, car modification company Retrobuilt has taken the new fifth generation Ford Mustang and made it look like the old classic 1969 Shelby GT500. The tuners who are located in Missouri have been working on this 1969 Shelby GT 500CS package for a while now and it is ready for the public. The conversion kit will include all new body panels, new headlights, taillights, chrome trim and Shelby wheels to replicate the original 69 Mustang.
Novitec Rosso Ferrari 458 Italia Spider Kit
For owners of the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider who want a sportier and enhanced look for their ride, then turn to Novitec Rosso for this new kit. The German tuning company unveiled this package for the brand new sports car that was offered to public right after the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Performance specifications from the factory show a 4.5-liter V8 powerplant capable of producing 570 horsepower. After Novitec Rosso got their hands on one, they installed a new carbon fiber air box, aftermarket exhaust system, and wrapped it together with some ECU tuning to output a stunning 601 HP with 420 lb-ft of torque.
Foliatec Spray Film For Wheels
This could possibly be the next big trend for custom wheel colors. German vinyl car wrap specialists Foliatec have manufactured a new spray film that will allow tuning enthusiasts to change the color of their wheels easily. It is much cheaper than an expensive paint job, and coats the wheel in a tough rubber like film that will also protect the original coating underneath. If the customer doesn’t like the result or wants to change the color later on, they can simply peel it off with a removal kit.
Veilside Mercedes SL-Class Body Kit
A new Veilside body kit has been announced at the Tokyo Auto Salon for the Mercedes SL-Class. Calling it the Black Fortune, only 300 kits will be made by Veilside at a price of 3,000,000 JPY ($39,000 / €31,000). This is the first time the popular aero part manufacturer has constructed a kit for the Mercedes-Benz SL series. You can tell that this design came inspired by the Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series, yet still has some new unique features to set them apart.

Stillen has comfirmed that the Nissan 370Z kit meets the California Air Resources Board regulations, and is completely legal in the United States.
