Hummer limos are one of the most popular styles of limos to rent these days. But for those wanting something a little different, look no further than this unique piece of work from the guys at Eye Candy in Orlando, Florida. I spotted this insane Hummer limo on display at their booth at SBN. The guys pulled out all the stops in order to showcase their shops work, stretching it out a "few" extra feet, adding an additional axle, slapping on six 30" chrome rollers, and then taking it one step further on the insane scale by grafting a Rolls Royce front end onto this monster. The Result? A jaw dropping party-people-hauler that will stop onlookers dead in the tracks. It did for me.
And the craziness didn't stop there. Follow the jump to check out the interior pics and details on the crazy install.

The guys at Realm posted up some video from CES of the '63 Lincoln Continental we blogged about a few days ago, two videos, actually. The first video is a cool walk around of the car with Chris McSweyn, product manager of Realm. He gives a brief introduction of the flat woofer we blogged about not too long ago, but then jumps right into the Conti walk-through.
And second video is a real treat.... MC Hammer stopped by the Realm booth at CES and took the Conti's audio system for a test drive with Hammer's new EP. From what I can tell from the video, Hammer's new sound definitely has come a LONG way since his "Can't Touch This" days, and he also seems pretty impressed with Realm's install.
Check out both videos after the jump.

The 1960's Lincoln Continental is a true collector's classic. The suicide door-sporting land yacht was available in both convertible and hard-top variations, and was one of the last production cars to be designed by a single person. Originally designed as a T-bird replacement, the Conti's bold-yet-elegant design influenced many other manufacturers during it's reign.
Realm Audio's 1963 Conti is the perfect staging ground for Realm to demo their line of high-end speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers. The large, wide-open cockpit offers plenty of room for the speakers and subs to breathe. But this big baby wasn't a perfect show car, it took a lot of work to get her to what you see today. Trevor Kaplan and Nathan Perkins of Realm did all of the work in-house at Realm's R&D facility. The restore took approximately 1 year, and the audio install about 400 hours over a four-week period. Click on the jump for the details and a few more pics.

Realm is a relatively new player to the world of car audio, but they've done their research and it shows in their product. I had a chance to demo Realm's speakers, amps, and subs both this year at CES and in 2007 when the company first came to market. The speakers have excellent tonal quality and construction is top notch. If you get a chance, make sure to check them out at your local dealer.
Well, Realm has stepped it up a notch and along with the beefy and intimidating LFT subs from the current line-up, Realm now offers a thin subwoofer as well. Designed more for Sound Quality than SPL, the LFT12-D4f (pictured), has a mounting depth only 2.87" and can take about 600 watts peak, 300 watts RMS. The shallow basket makes the woofer perfect for tight spaces where a standard woofer won't easily fit.
Full press release and some more photos after the jump.

Walking past Realm's booth, I couldn't help but notice this sick 1966 Chevy C-10. This low-profiled old school is decked out in Sikkens black paint and sports a mean LS-1 by Street & Performance. The motor has been juiced up via a Magnuson Eaton supercharger and mated to a 4L60E tranny, while spent gasses are kicked out via a Borla exhaust system. The rubber hits the road via huge Asanti wheels which tuck in nicely thanks to the QA-1 shocks, and Xciting Lighting provides a modern touch to the classic body. Realm provided the audio for this custom project, filling the interior with their LS6c 6.5" component speakers that are powered by an A300.2 2-channel amp, and a D500.1 mono Class-D amplifier delivers power to the low-end. A pair of Realm's new thin subwoofers were supposed to be in the truck, but weren't ready for production in time to make it to the show. More pics after the jump.
