00:00COMM.: From its sleek green paintjob to its
00:16eye-catching rims, Corey Jones' car is causing a stir in his hometown of Chicago.
00:21COREY JONES – I actually took a whole city and helped put them on the map for the car
00:25game.
00:26COREY HAS BEEN BUILDING CUSTOM CARS SINCE 2008 AND BELIEVES HIS GREEN CAMARO INSPIRED
00:32OTHERS IN THE CITY.
00:34HE FIRST NOTICED THE CRAVES FOR BIG RIMS COMING OUT OF FLORIDA, USA.
00:38COREY I just kind of fed off of what was going on
00:41out there and wanted to bring it to my city.
00:43COMMS When it came to customizing his own car,
00:47Corey knew exactly what he wanted.
00:48COREY I designed the whole car from top to bottom.
00:53I like big rims on cars.
00:56It was amazing to see a Camaro on 32 inch rims.
01:00Once I got a visual of the color I wanted to go, I went to my painter and we mixed up
01:04some paint until I got the color that I wanted and it came out better than I wanted.
01:09COMMS But Corey's Camaro is not just about big
01:12rims and a unique paint job.
01:14The interior of the car is also bespoke, including custom speakers and TV screens in the doors
01:19and dashboard.
01:21Even standard door handles are too ordinary for this car.
01:24COREY These buttons here open the door, pop them
01:26open.
01:27It took them about a month and a half to paint it.
01:29It took them four days to do the interior and about three days to do the door panels.
01:35COMMS His Camaro, worth an estimated $95,000, was
01:40customized at the car shop where Corey and his friend Rico work.
01:43RICO Corey's a perfectionist.
01:44He wants his vehicle to look a certain way and that's what we're known for.
01:48That's what a lot of people know us for.
01:50It's unique.
01:51There's nothing like it.
01:53You assume that you put big wheels on a car, it's always going to rub and that's not the
01:56case with this car.
01:57COREY I'm used to it, so it performs as if I had
01:59the regular rims on there.
02:01You've got to make sure that the job is done right, so I have no problem turning, I can
02:05do a full U-turn.
02:06COMMS Corey is constantly approached by people on
02:09the street and has won awards for his tricked out ride.
02:12COREY Actually, I've won a lot of awards this year,
02:15pretty much every car show I went to this year.
02:17It's the most important trophy to me because I've been going a lot of years and having
02:22a lot of fun.
02:23I took a trophy from there.
02:24It was second place, domestic mild at the Chicago dub show.
02:31Camaro is the hottest car out, in my opinion.
02:35I just love her.
