[B][SIZE=6]GANGSTA!!!!!!!!![/SIZE][/B] :runcoold:

fire hot.

i think these look better than the toasters.

Thats crazy hot.......im in love....

I've been saying for a little while "damn that car is ugly, but it probably would look CRAZY if someone spent some time on it"

Good stuff there man, looks GREAT and you have some "go" in it too. SWEET!

thats bad!!!

Ive always thought the flex was a cool ride but this is just awesome.

hooooooooooooooooooooooooly shit.

*gasp*

that is awesome

Those studio shots look so amazing I thought they were renderings until I scrolled down.

That is incredible.

And I can't get over the glass in the engine bay!

DAMN

awesome build. props.

i wouldnt mind getting some of those see through hoses.....

i dont like it
id buy a range rover if i wanted somethign that looked like it

BUT
rear fitment rocks, front sucks

are those intercooler pipings and radiator pipes in glass?

oh..I found its from [url]www.Killerglass.com[/url]

Kool!

that is some sick upholstery work!

FUGGGIN BANNANAS!:bowrofl::boweek5: I want one now!

damn... shit is nutss

[QUOTE=RotaryAE86;201296]that is some sick upholstery work![/QUOTE]

Tea sweet build. I second that on the upholstery. Are there free massages at the Ford booth during Sema. Check out Junction Produce Booth #11875 if you have time. I can't wait to see the wheel barrels up close.

Sick build, I love the engine bay & the clear pipes. The interior is stunning.
Also the rear exhaust are a nice touch.

Range Rover + Scion XB = Ford FLEX :smiley-rofl:

SPEECHLESS.

Shammuthafukin WOW!!!!!!!
interior is killers!!!!!sick,sick.

i thought i liked it before........!

platinum has put out some of the nicest rides around lately!

i believe this flex is open to the public. so everyone can go in and out and have free messages :dance:

and thanks guys we appreciate the feed back :biggthumpup: and will post more projects as they come =)

Very clean. It was only a matter of time before someone tricked that car out right. Its a stretch XB at stock and now its certified GANGSTER!

the Flex is hella sick!!! I was there when Alan Lee was working on the engine. 
The lip on the wheel is really crazy nice and i believe some of the interior work was done by Ish from WCC. Big props to Platinum!

I actually came by the new shop to meet up with Kennedy a few weeks ago and he showed me the Flex in pieces. He was working on the sideskirts at the time. The new shop looks so baller. I love how it turned out.

lol. ISH. lol

next time go 10mm lower in the front wheel offset

That shit is deadly, I love it!

DAMN that shit is gangsta

Wow!  Well done.  The massage chairs install looked like a PITA!

thats fuckin sick!

I went from dis-liking this car to loving it by just viewing this post. Before now I had only seen the Funkmaster Flex and Chip Foose versions and wasn't too impressed with either. Nice job on this one guys... :biggthumpup:

[quote=bOosty.ViP;201374]Range Rover + Scion XB = Ford FLEX :smiley-rofl:[/quote]

pretty much!

thats effin heavy...

[QUOTE=Yokotas13;201431]next time go 10mm lower in the front wheel offset[/QUOTE]

about that. the cars weight took a toll on the front suspension pinching the camber plates at the top of the coil over so it actually pushed inwards causing negative camber. when john jarasa arrived  at the studio and he noticed it to :/ so thats why the studio shots came out the way they did. john took the shots anyway cause we were not their to fix it. i believe the car is 2400 something lbs in the front and 3200 something lbs in the back + with the message seats witch are 200 lbs each those 4 little allen screws could not hold the plate in place while driving down the 10 free way. :/ go figure but its coo though we just wanted the thing out of here lol

that shiet is clean. :biggthumpup: i think i would feel bunched up in those massage chairs though.. if i was an "executive". Like how in maybachs and presidents theres something seperating the two people in the back. but then again, there's nothing massaging them either. can't win them all. :shrug:

man all i got in my head is..

"looks like a great idea for a bong"

haha

so then why didnt you drill the camber plate out, and use nuts and bolts?
I mean, all that work, and you overlooked something as small as that? Makes me wonder about other things.

pretty sure its taken care of now.  little problem that just got noticed before the shoot.

the sickness!!!

holy crap that's dope... not at all what i expected!

So sick! I saw it in the shop when it was still basically stockish on jacks with no wheels, and that was only like 2 months ago!  Dang!  Love the clear plumbing and the massage chairs in back, sick!!!!!

nice work!

Whats the purpose and functionality of having grille inserts on the door panel rather than in the fenders?

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freakin sick. Game over.

my boys at Platinum doing it again!!

Big Box!!!!

looks awesome. good work

Awesomeness.:biggthumpup:

[QUOTE=firelizard;202337]Awesomeness.:biggthumpup:[/QUOTE]

lol

you know, I really hated that car. Until I saw this. WOW.

yes we did clear this problem up. 

but on another note-

please enlighten us here at platinum about whats on your mind. we always love a good conversation. i mean seeing that you are automotive savvy n all and also being in japan  you should be surrounded in a automotive utopia of skills and information. maybe we could learn alot from you. shit i could even set you up with an interview with john jarasa and maybe you could get your own project car for sema next year? :shrug:

damn I just now find this ... saw pics in the CL thred by Solo ... Amazing work and it came out flawless IMO 


HH /// Platinum doing it big

[QUOTE=6hift;202024]Whats the purpose and functionality of having grille inserts on the door panel rather than in the fenders?[/QUOTE]

Doesn't matter.  There's no functionality anyways whether it's in the fender or the door.  It's kind of like Mustangs having fake vents on the rear body panel => no function, just for looks.

wow that is crazy

must have!

this flex has a nice ass!!

looks like they stuck the big ass ford emblem back on...FORD wants too be seen

saw it at Autobac meet. SICKKK

Sorry guys, Im not feeling that AT ALL. Not the interior, not the rims, not the car in general, not nothing /Katt Williams. I am however feelin the ideas and hard work that was put into it and for that props.

Nice, I wanted to put the LS exhaust cut outs on mine too....

looks good i dont like how they look but this one is actually nice

I think it came out pretty slick some of it is a lil over the top for my taste but it was built for SEMA what car there isnt...nice job fellas

Nice.. I like the interior....... Hell I like the whole thing... sucks that I missed it at SEMA
