Justin Bieber just had his Fisker Karma wrapped in chrome vinyl. This car is one of the hottest cars out right now and looks even better wrapped in all chrome. You usually see this chrome wrap done on Audi R8s or internationally in Japan and Saudi Arabia. I think this is going to be the new trend here in the United States.

Matte black is played out and chrome is making a come back!

I like the contrast with the dark wheels on this car. Chrome wheels would have been too much.

Tyga teamed up with Roadstarr Motorsports to create this gold chrome Audi R8. At first, I thought this was just a cheap vinyl wrap on the car but after I saw it in person – I realized it was actual paint! This is a very impressive car and even though it might be too loud for most people, the quality is there.

Love to see people take chances with their cars and Tyga did just that. He got a lot of publicity from it as it is going to be featured in DUB Magazine. The wheels are staggered matte black 20″ wheels. I would have liked to see some more creativity with the wheels, no point in going conservative with the paint job thats on the car.

Rapper, Plies, has a Maserati Quattroporte that was painted a custom metallic burgundy paint. He had his 22″ Forgiato Inferno wheels color matched to the car. Would have liked to see him color match the brakes as well, the red brembos really clash right next to the burgundy paint.

All the customization on the car was done by Ultimate Audio in South Carolina. The custom audio is on point in the trunk and the stance is at the right height.

Nicki Minaj, aka Pink Barbie Doll, just picked up a new Bentley Continental GT. This car is a perfect fit for her, matches her more than it does Paris Hilton. The only problem I have with this car is the cheap cast wheels. You go out and paint an entire Bentley in pink but you get cheap on the rims? The wheels probbably cost $200 each. She should have gotten a set of 3-piece wheels that were color matched pink and chrome two tone. Instead she chose machined wheels with a high polished lip right out of China which does not match the car at all.

Might want to use some of that plastic surgery budget for the wheels on your car Nicki.

This is Justin Bieber’s matte black Cadillac CTS-V coupe customized by West Coast Customs. These pictures were taken at SEMA 2011 by GT Spirit. The car has suicide doors and is wrapped in matte black vinyl. It also has a custom audio system that is no joke. It is sitting on 20″ matte black Asanti wheels which look really good on this coupe.

I was tempted to give this car a good rating but you can not take it seriously for two reasons. 1) It is a 17 year olds car. 2) It has batman logos all over and is batmobile themed.

This is 50 Cent’s Custom Blue Range Rover that was customized by Roadstarr Motorsports in Los Angeles. The car was painted a custom electric blue and really stands out from any other Range Rover in the streets. The car is equipped with 24″ Forgiato Sedici wheels that are custom painted chrome and blue. The tire size is 295/25/24 all around.

Love the color choice and the choice of wheels, both style and size. The only comment on this car that I have is that I wish they would have went with a nice chrome grille to match with the rest of the car. He could have put one of the new Forigato grilles or even a chrome Strut grille would have looked awesome. It would be even nicer if the grille was painted chrome with some color matched blue paint on it.

Other than the grille, this is a near perfect build on a Range.

Young Jeezy has a blacked out 2011 Ferrari California. Young Jeezy accomodates the yellow calipers and yellow ferrari badges, he threw on some black and yellow Savini wheels. All of the customization was done at Car Tunes in Atlanta.

I like the idea with going yellow on the wheels but this is way too much yellow going on with the register painted yellow, the center painted yellow, and a thin yellow pinstripe on the lip.

And if your going to smoke the tail lights, smoke them all the way!

T-Pain is a flamboyant personality, but I think this car might even be too flamboyant for him. T-Pain’s Joker themed Impala is a Joke. What a waste of a classic car this build was. The entire car is painted green with purple airbrushing of the Joker on it with a purple top for the convertible. The interior is all purple and green. The wheels are 26″ cast wheels, green center with a chrome lip.

The worst part about it all is the quality and excellent work that was put into this car. The paint job is super clean, the airbrushing is very well done, the engine is pristine, the interior is done up along with a banging audio system.

Akon adds another car to his incredible fleet. This time it is a white Porsche Panamera with staggered white and black 22″ Savini wheels. It seems like white is the new black this year with cars, especially in Miami. The car was customized by The Auto Firm in Miami.

The Panamera looks a little plain without a body kit but the wheels do help. I hold Akon to a higher standard and would have liked to see him take this custom build to the next level with some more black accents and maybe even a Mansory body kit.

Good to see Akon still doing his thing with custom cars. He is definitely a car nut and has now picked up a white Ferrari 458 Italia. I love the color of the car with the blacked out tail lights…but thats where it ends.

The car is sitting up way too high, very bad move. The design of the wheels is alright, you cant go wrong with a split 5 spoke on a sports car but chrome and white finish? Really? This is not an S550 or a 7 Series, he should have went with some brushed and/or black concave wheels.

Just another case of somebody buying an awesome car but butchering it with customization that was not well thought out.
