00:12The Nocturnal Car Club is one of the biggest customized vehicle clubs in the world with
00:17chapters across America, Europe and Asia.
00:200000.
00:21I said this is a hobby but it sure don't feel like no hobby, I mean you put in more hours
00:25than you do at work and we love it but it feels like a full time job.
00:29The members spend hundreds of thousands of pounds and countless hours turning their regular
00:33cars into moving, roaring works of art.
00:370000.
00:38Here you have a 1998 Chevy two-door Tahoe.
00:42We converted the whole front end as you see, fenders.
00:45We added oversized wheels, 28 inch, fully engraved and painted.
00:50We added a nice mural on top of the hood, our caddy paint job, pearl paint job and then
00:55some pin striping.
01:01Money wise, it's very hard to pinpoint it but a rough estimate would probably be $90,000
01:07to $100,000.
01:08I know it sounds like a lot to a lot of people but also it's a build that has taken maybe
01:134 to 4 plus years.
01:19First start doing it for you know the girls, why lie, but eventually you do it so long
01:24you overlook that, that's not what you're building and you fall in love with the builds
01:27and you know the attention the builds get and everybody's reaction of something different.
01:32When they first see our rides on the street or anywhere we're setting them up, first thing
01:36that comes out of people's mouth is you know, wow, second thing is why would you do that
01:40to a new car?
01:41Our car club is we try to go after the newest stuff and pretty much mess it up.
01:46The car is great, it's fantastic, it seems that there's no part of this car that's not
01:52customized.
01:57The paint is extraordinary, definitely has show quality, this vehicle is definitely above
02:03the top, but unique.
02:06We ran out of ideas on cars so why not build a golf cart right?
02:11We put some 14 inch rims on the golf cart, LEDs all the way on the bottom, halo lights,
02:15it's got TVs everywhere, we have an iPad that goes on the dash, Xbox 360 in the back and
02:21actually this damn golf cart weighs probably as much as a car.
02:24I'm sitting on a good 12 batteries right now, you spend at least $5,000 just on these batteries.
02:30Despite the incredible amount of time and money involved in being a member of the club,
02:35it's grown exponentially since its inception in 2001.
02:39We started in Montebello, California, we've expanded to 28 chapters including Texas, Florida,
02:47St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and now presently in Japan as well.
02:55Nocturnal as a club, I mean now it's more like family.
02:59I've missed so many birthday parties, parties, and we've gone everywhere with these guys,
03:04with our members you know, and sometimes they do more for you than your own family does.
03:09Everybody thinks I'm crazy and my family, they say I waste too much money on it, but
03:14my perks are different, my rewards are different.
03:17I grew up reading the Lowrider magazine here, always aspired to maybe one day come out in
03:22the magazine, but successfully we've won and I'm a three-time champ when it comes to Lowrider.
03:29You say I'm obsessed with all these vehicles, but I don't call it obsessed, it's just what you love doing.
