Very few people know about the Japanse tuner Calwing, also called 213 Motoring. However, their Cadillac Escalade body kit is kind of cool. Unless we are mistaken, Dr. Dre has ordered one for his murdered out luxury SUV.
It takes a lot of time an effort to sell a tuning package, something we discovered while looking through Calwing's recent activity on Facebook. These guys ship from Japan to all the major markets and sell the parts everywhere from Yahoo Outlet to Amazon.

The personality of a company boss is often as important as the design, something we see all the time with Kato Wataru, the guy from Liberty Walk, who appears in thousands of photos throwing up a big W with his hands. For Calwing, it seems to be tthe victory sign while doing a slight squat.

It might not be subtle enough for some people, but the Cadillac Escalade is a grand master of the streets and stands as the benchmark in American luxury. Many top athletes and celebrities still pick it because of the respect that comes with buying American and ignoring the G-Wagon.

Calwing's take on the SUV features a few discreet tuning goodies. The most obvious parts are the fender flares and the extended front spoiler lip with its LED day timers. For maximum contrast, the black paint is matched up with massive 26 inch Forgiato AZIONI-M Monoleggera Sport rims. We think Forgiato also made the grille, but we're not 100% sure yet.

At the back, the Escalade looks a little like a riced power wagon, too Japanese in a way. The trunk spoiler is not needed in our opinion, and the quad exhaust system sticks out too far, as if it's trying to be a Honda Civic. But you kind of expect that from a company that made a 6-wheeled Hummer H2.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
