It is an absolute blast to see members like Julius in the scene. Guys like Julius are hard to come by. He was there before the hype, and he'll still be standing firm after the hype. He started making Jade proud back in 96 when he purchased his DSM new. Ever since then, he's been positively promoting Jade on the east coast for 10 years and still going strong.  From then to now, every month, little by little, step by step, his car has been transformed, changed, revised, evolved to what you see here before you. If this car was a Dragonball character, it would be at Super Saiyan level 10 with glowing blonde hair, bulging muscles, and enough internal power to blow up a planet to kingdom come. Seriously,  if you ever get a chance to see this super hero up close at an event..don't be shy, come closer. If you just take a glance and walk by, you will miss out on 90% of the effort put in the car. The paint is absolutely flawless and the attention to detail blends everything into the car so well that you might think some of his more outrageous mods ( like the Mr2 side vents and Silvia headlight conversion) came like that from the factory. You would think after getting chosen for a part in a blockbuster movie (2F2F) and getting sponsored by some heavy hitters in the scene like Meguiar's would be enough. But Julz shows no signs of slowing down. With a future mods list and a full revision of his audio/video install (ICE) planned for 2006, it seems like Super Saiyan level 11 can and will be reached very soon.
