00:12The Nocturnal Car Club is one of the biggest customized vehicle clubs in the world, with chapters across America, Europe
00:19and Asia.
00:20I say this is a hobby, but it sure doesn't feel like no hobby.
00:23You put in more hours than you do at work. We love it, but it feels like a full-time
00:28job.
00:28The members spend hundreds of thousands of pounds and countless hours turning their regular cars into moving, roaring works of
00:36art.
00:37Here you have a 1998 Chevy two-door Tahoe. We 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 candy paint job, pearl paint job and then some
00:56pin striping.
01:00Money-wise, it's very hard to pinpoint it, but a rough estimate would probably be 90,000 to 100.
01:08I know it sounds like a lot to a lot of people, but also it's a build that has taken
01:13maybe four to four plus years.
01:18First start doing it for, you know, the girls. Why like? But eventually you do it so long, you overlook
01:24that.
01:24That's not what you're building it. You fall in love with the builds and, you know, the attention the builds
01:28get and everybody's reaction of something different.
01:32When they first see our rides on the street or anywhere we're setting them up, the first thing that comes
01:36out of people's mouth is, you know, wow.
01:39Second thing is, why would you do that to a new car?
01:41Our car club is, we try to go after the newest stuff and pretty much mess it up.
01:45The car is great. It's fantastic. It seems there's no part of this car that's not customized.
01:56The paint is extraordinary. Definitely has show quality. This vehicle is definitely above the top. Unique.
02:07We ran out of ideas on cars, so why not build a golf cart, right?
02:10We put some 14-inch rims on the golf cart. LEDs all the way on the bottom. Halo lights. It's
02:15got TVs everywhere.
02:16We have an iPad that goes on the dash. Xbox 360 in the back. And actually this damn golf cart
02:22weighs 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,
02:34it's grown exponentially since its inception in 2001.
02:39We started in Montebello, California. We've expanded to 28 chapters,
02:44including Texas, Florida, St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Arizona, Nevada, Utah,
02:53and 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 in my family. They say I waste too much money on it.
03:14But my perks are different. My rewards are different.
03:17I grew up reading Lowrider magazine here. Always aspired to maybe one day come out in the magazine.
03:24But successfully we've won, and I'm a three-time champ when it comes to lowriders.
03:29Say I'm obsessed with all these vehicles, but I don't call it obsessed.
03:33It's just, you know, what you love doing.
03:35Step 2 in.
03:35I'm good.
03:35And I'm good at the end.
03:35I'm good.
03:35Yeah.
03:36I work.
03:38I work.
03:38Two.
03:40And I'm good at the end.
