00:00From its slick green paint job to its eye-catching rims, Corey Jones' car is causing a stir in his hometown of Chicago.
00:21I 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 others
00:32in the city. He first noticed the craze for big rims coming out of Florida, USA.
00:38I just kind of fed off of what was going on out there and wanted to bring it to my city.
00:44When it came to customizing his own car, Corey knew exactly what he wanted.
00:49I designed the whole car from top to bottom. I like big rims on cars. Like, it's, it's
00:56amazing to see a Camaro on 32-inch rims. Once I got a visual of the color I wanted to go,
01:02I went to my painter and we mixed up some paint until I got the color that I wanted. And it
01:07came out better than I wanted.
01:09But Corey's Camaro is not just about big rims and a unique paint job. The interior of
01:14the car is also bespoke, including custom speakers and TV screens in the doors and dashboard.
01:21Even standard door handles are too ordinary for this car.
01:23These buttons here, open the door, pop them open.
01:27It took him about a month and a half to paint it. It took him four days to do the interior
01:32and about three days to do the door panels.
01:35His Camaro, worth an estimated $95,000, was customized at the car shop where Corey and
01:42his friend Rico work.
01:43Corey's a perfectionist. You know, he wants this vehicle to look a certain way and that's, that's
01:48what we're known for. That's what a lot of people know us for. It's unique. You know,
01:51there's nothing like it. A lot of people assume that, you know, you put big wheels on a car,
01:54it's always going to rub, and that's not the case with this car.
01:56I'm used to it, so it performs as if I had the regular rims on there. Like, you got to
02:01make sure that the job is done right, so I have no problem turning. I can do a full U-turn.
02:06Corey is constantly approached by people on the street and has won awards for his tricked-out ride.
02:12Actually, I won a lot of awards this year. Pretty much every car show I went to this year.
02:17This is the most important trophy to me, because I've been going a lot of years and haven't
02:22took a trophy from there. And it was second place, domestic mild at the Chicago dub show.
02:31Camaro is the hottest car out, in my opinion. I just love it.
