While Vivid Racing has had their hands on just about everything from Lamborghinis and Porsches to Vipers and Corvettes to Maybachs and Audis, they’re probably best known for their heavily modified and show stopping Japanese cars. They’ve built some of North America’s most recognized Mitsubishi Evos, Subaru WRXs and other Japanese favorites which have graced the pages of countless magazines and websites not only throughout the nation, but internationally as well. But articles and photos aren’t the only way Vivid Racing’s cars have been breaking out of our borders. A number of Vivid Racing’s cars have been shipped out to international buyers after receiving exposure in international publications.

Most of that power comes by simply letting the engine breath. The Agency Power downpipes alone increased power by an astonishing 23awhp and 32lbs-ft of torque.
The same red and black color scheme is in play in the GT-R’s interior, with custom red suede inserts, stitching and rails integrated into the stock seats and door panels.
