00:14From its slick green paint job to its eye-catching rims, Cory Jones' car is causing a stir in
00:20his hometown of Chicago.
00:2101 05 05
00:22I actually took a whole city and helped put them on the map for the car game.
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.
00:44COMM0N When it came to customizing his own car, Corey
00:47knew 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.
01:09COMM0N But Corey's Camaro is not just about big
01:11rims 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.
01:35COMM0N 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.
01:52A lot of people assume that you put big wheels on a car, it's always going to rub and that's
01:55not the case with this car.
01:56COREY 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.
02:05I can do a full U-turn.
02:06COMM0N Corey is constantly approached by people
02:09on the 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 haven't
02:22took a trophy from there.
02:23It was second place, domestic mild at the Chicago dub show.
02:31Camaro is the hottest car out, in my opinion.
02:35I just love him.
