DonnieBrasco’s bugeye
This is one of the more epic bugeyes to roll out of SoCal.
What sets this car apart is the prodrive lip with V-limited lip underneath. Donnie was one of the first bugeyes (possibly the first) to roll with this setup. His Prodrive lip is authentic – one of the last ones Prodrive USA had in stock before they closed down North American operations. This setup has become increasingly common as replicas of both prodrive and v-limited lips have become available for cheap but still nobody has pulled it off like this.
The other thing that sets the car apart is the wheels… but they speak for themselves…
rare/out of production bronze Volk Racing SE37K wheels (they were replaced by the Volk RE30’s)

It says something that this is actually the winter setup (although to be fair does SoCal really have winters?)
THIS is the summer setup…
