Actually,
Gearz is a show staring Stacey David. He's been doing this since the late 90's and help start the "car fixing" trend with his show "Trucks!" on SpikeTV.

He's know for doing things the right way w/out short cutting. He custom built a lot of trucks, cars, a snow cat, and even a V8 barstool. My favorite was Copperhead:


Chevy gave Stacey their first 572 engine:



He's 100% legit. He has sponsored stuff but he NEVER used stuff like slick50, or mystery oil or any of that mineral oil crap. Just battery tenders, suspension stuff, Airraid, LMC truck, etc.

The old cast of "Two Guys Garage" was REALLY bad at selling snake oil. The main guy supported that Tornado add-on which was ridiculous.

Its by far my favorite car show due to his legitimacy and he doesn't have corny fake drama with staff (its just him).

I think it looks good. I'm not a fan of the Gen5 Camaro with the bee sting hood but on a Gen6, it looks good.

The color and design is Stacey's style but its uneven which is a complete surprise. He used to preach about getting things aligned.

Overall, I'm surprised. This isn't Stacey's style or his best work. Even with new cars, he's more old school and would never ever put on that wing. Must be Tommy's idea.

Wheels look great to me.

Would I own it? Oh yea!!!

I must be the opposite from everyone else here. I actually like the wheels. Don’t care for that hood at all.
