GRIPSET x RITZY33 x STYLE63 GRIPSET FEATURE | NEW FOUND LOVE | NOV.12-16

AKA Ritzy33 AKA Farrah Fawcett

This week we shine the light on a man of humility; a humongous heart and his epically clean Infiniti Q45. The trials of this build were few and far apart. The passion and compassion to execute this car let alone complete it within a short time frame, unscaved, is a merit on its own...I wish I had space to share all the details, but I must captivate you without boring you. EXCLUSIVELY RESERVED for GRIPSET, we were blessed with the task of bringing you it's 1ST FEATURE!! Knowing the owner, and calling him friend is truly a privilege, being the "chosen one" to debut his car virally, here on Gripset is a high honor. Much Love & Respect 'Drew! Big shout out to James Soriano aka FYI James for making this feature possible. He met up with Drew & his Q hours before "Auto Fashion, San Diego," caravan roll-out to do the photoshoot and video on SHORT notice.

Motivation

I'll keep it short and sweet. I can't say there is a specific motivating force on this build. Just that I was inspired with my new found love of the VIP car scene and tried my best interpreting it into this creation you see before you.

Shout Out

First off to God for blessing me to be fortunate enough to do what I love. My older brother Jason (RIP) who first introduced me to the car scene, my family and girlfriend for understanding my love for cars, SoCal Collision for the body work and paint, my crew Style 63, David Deezign for the tables, Gripset for my FIRST feature, Cali Luv, all the homies in Pomona, and shout outs to all the 11 Bravo's holding it down overseas! Last but not least , Thank you to my homie "Poges" for getting me into the game.

I love the car. The video seems a little lackluster though IMO.

You guys are absolutely right. We all still have some growing to do skill wise. However i don't think you guys realized, the car was finished Sat. Evening, and on short notice my buddy was willing to meet Drew up literally an hour before the roll out. So with 1hr, he did a shoot, and a simple & clean video. It may not be all dragged out, and extravagant or over the top like the videos your used too, but that is still an area my buddy is working on. So with no formal training, 1hr time frame and being his first video, it was damn good!
