When it comes to modifying cars, it can be said that the Peugeot is not the easiest but it sure is one of the sexiest. Shane became a Pug fan having loved the 206 from the World Rally Championships.

With his new found passion for Peugeot Shane did what any Zoopedup man does, modify. First he slapped on 17″ Racing Hart Concepts mags to give the car more street cred. Exterior extras also included a mesh grill up front and a Power Flow Tailpipe. Since red was the in thing for his PUG he also installed under car neons (in red) and had the whole interior done in red suede to complement his new sound installation. Which consisted of one 12 Kenwood 1500w DVC sub connected to a 1100W Monoblock also from the Kenwood stable. To head up the install he selected a JVC front loader connected with 200W Kenwood splits to sort out the high ranges.

General Motors is readying an updated version of the Hummer H2, which is expected to debut at the Chicago auto show in the states this month. A single photograph was leaked to the DailyVoice today of what appears to be the revised H2′s all-new interior.

While its authenticity cannot be confirmed, the image appears to be the real deal. GM’s development team has put an increased emphasis on interior quality and styling with its latest round of redesigns, including some of it’s other cars in production.

It’s not known if the H2 will also receive exterior design changes or powertrain upgrades. I like the look of this interior better than the previous one, especially since GM ditched those hideous bubble-like air vents on the old line of Hummers. Expect the updated Hummer line to reach our shores end year for the few oil investors that can afford them.

Hello Kitty is probably one of the largest brands in the world with everything in its range from fluffy toys to cell phones. Apparently the Japanese have gone so wild for this that they are now even fabricating car exhaust pipes in the image of their unforgettable feline fetish…

So what’s all the fuss about one might ask (including me). Sure, I can see a 10yr old jumping for joy when mommy pics up a Kitty lunchbox for school, but a grown adult revving for joy at the marvel of petrol fumes being dissipated from the little puss just makes me wonder…

We have seen it all…I mean, the ultra-blingy roadsters, be it, the diamond-covered Mercedes, all-chrome BMW and the gold plated Porsche. But, if you are still waiting for few more, then your wish is granted! Bucharest Luxury Show 2006 showcased gold plated cars from the RealGold company. The company apparently customizes your car as per your needs, so you can pimp your ride, just the way you want!
