Who Is Freshkiicks?

Freshkiicks aka Corey is a well known car enthusiast in the community. Based out of SoCal, Corey is a 27 year old that simply just loves to race and build cars. Lot's of people always wonder what Freshkiicks does for his living, he sells a shoe cleaning product called "refreshed shoe cleaner". He currently has over 85 thousand subscribers on his youtube channel. His content consists of him racing against random people that he finds out on the road, his car builds, car meets, and many other exciting things. Currently, Freshkiicks owns four cars, but has owned eight cars that we know of from his Instagram. The four that he currently own's right now is a Q50 as his daily, 350Z nismo, Evo 09, and a Audi R8. The other four that he had were two Gtr's, a G35 coupe, and a 370Z nismo.

These 4 cars below are the cars that he has sold

2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe

Freshkiicks first got his G35 six years ago in December. Then not to long after getting the car, he named it Francesca. A couple of small things that were done to the car at first were the rims were plasti dipped black, blacked the grill out, headlights were darkened, and the word "infiniti" was taken off the back. All of these were small mods done to the car at first. Freshkiicks then went on to get ccrl halo projector headlights. They make the car look more aggressive looking when you look at them. Also, he went onto get chrome varrstoen volks es2 wheels, and a supertone horn kit (which are the red circles that you can see behind the front grill).

What Freshkiicks did next with the G35 was that he got a VIS carbon fiber hood, which have very aggressive vents on the hood. He also got a carbon fiber trunk, carbon fiber rear diffuser and a nismo front bumper with carbon fiber inserts. After getting all of those parts and actually seeing them on the car, it makes it look like a whole new car when looking at it. When it comes to under the front hood of the car, nothing performance wise was done to the car that we know about. Just the standard 260 hp was what Freshkiicks had in the car (which is the stock horsepower that came with the car).

370Z Nismo

After Freshkiicks got rid of the G35 he got himself a single turbo 350z nismo. And after just having a single Z he went out and got this twin turbo 370z nismo. The 370z nismo came with a black front bumper that was kind of beat up and in rough condition. So then Freshkiicks went out and got an oem nismo front bumper. It also came with the nismo back bumper which looks 10x better than the regular HR and DE back bumper. He then picked up a VIS terminator hood for the 370z. When it comes to the wheels, Freshkiicks dislikes leaving them stock. So he went out and got Varrstoen chrome wheels. They look amazing on the car and they aren't to expensive if your looking to get a nice set of wheels. 

The color of the car was also changed once during the time Freshkiicks had the car for. Since his G35 was Caribbean blue, he was inspired to bring that same color back. So he decided to wrap the car Caribbean blue, which makes the carbon fiber parts and other details easier to see on the car. Also, another big thing that was changed on the 370z nismo was the exhaust system. Since Freshkiicks loves the tomei exhaust, he went and got one. It was much needed since the other exhaust system was way to quiet for his liking. Those were basically all of the things that were done to the car, before he decided to sell the 370Z nismo.

2015 GTR

Freshkiicks first got this white 2015 GTR in April 2018. Not many things were done to the car for the four months he had it for. Since getting parts for the GTR was expensive. One thing that he did do with the car was that he got black Advan GT wheels. Those wheels are on the expensive side, but when he had them on the white GTR, it looked so good on it. That was basically the only thing look wise that was added to the car during the time he had it. Also performance wise nothing was touched. It came with a twin turbocharged 3.8 liter v-6 with approximately 545 hp and 463 lb-ft. Paired to a six speed dual clutch automatic transmission mounted in the rear axle.

2018 GTR

Not to long after getting rid of his white GTR, Freshkiicks went out and got another one this time it was a red 2018 GTR. When he first got the car he put those same black Advan GT wheels that he had on the other GTR. Keeping those wheels after getting rid of the other GTR was a good choice since they are such good looking wheels. After putting those wheels on, Freshkiicks also changed the wing on the car. Since the wing was red and wasn't carbon fiber he went and got one. The carbon fiber wing makes the car stand out more and just makes the backend even better to look at. Also when it comes to "better to look at" upscaledetailing based in SoCal helped ceramic coat the car. So after they were done coating the car, it made it all shiny and more attractive looking. And since it got ceramic coated, it makes it harder for scratches to happen, and just protects the car from things that could hit it while out driving on the road. Those were the parts and products added to the car during the few months he had the car for. And with that being said also under the hood just like with the other GTR  nothing performance wise was done to it either. It was left with the stock 545 hp and 463 lb-ft that came with the car.

These 4 cars are the cars that he currently owns

2017 Audi R8

After going through so many builds, Freshkiicks decided that he wanted to get a 2017 Audi R8 V10. This Audi was nowhere close to where he lives at which is in SoCal. He drove approximately 2,500 miles to Pennsylvania to pick the car up. It took him a couple of days to drive across the country back to SoCal. And when he brought the car back home the first few small things that he did was that he blacked the front grill out and made the brake calipers red.

Also with the front of the car he took off the chrome emblem, and replaced it with a blacked out Audi emblem. Which compliments the car better rather than leaving the chrome emblem on.

When it comes to what wheels Freshkiicks has they are 2PC BC forged double step lip, floating face and concave wheels. Personally, I like the wheels a lot, they make the car stand out more rather than having typical gray or black wheels for the Audi. Along with the wheels, the suspension was also lowered so now it sits lower to the ground and not as high up as before. When it comes to the performance of the car nothing has been modified yet. Its running the stock 540 hp and approximately 400 lb-ft. Soon though Freshkiicks will be having Fabspeed Motorsport install a new exhaust system for the Audi. The new system is called the valvetronic exhaust and it's a fairly loud exhaust system for the Audi R8. Other than that nothing else has been done to the car yet, but knowing Freshkiicks change is imminent to come to the car.

Infiniti Q50

Since the red GTR was to much of a hassle money wise, Freshkiicks went out and got himself a daily Q50. Instead of leaving his daily stock, he went and got BC coils. After that he put on Federal RS-RR 265/35R19 tires with stock 370z nismo wheels on them. The wheels are black chrome plated and for just being stock nismo wheels, they look so good on the Q50. But not to long after, Freshkiicks went and wrapped the car the same shade of blue that he had his 350Z nismo as. Headline auto design were the ones that wrapped the car, and did a great job with it. Along with wrapping the car blue, Freshkiicks then changed the color of the brake calipers to candy blue. But also got custom headlights that are blacked out with gloss white on the upper eyebrows and the half moon with demon eyes. For this being a daily, Freshkiicks did quite a number on it. Hopefully in the future even more will be added to this car.

2006 Evo 09

Freshkiicks first got his 2006 Evo 09 back in January 2018. Since this car was basically the 370z nismo replacement, this Evo became his daily car until he got the Q50. For a daily shooting around 400 hp wasn't to bad to have at first. But change did come quick, the first thing done to it was that he got chrome Advan Tc3 wheels. For the first set of wheels that he put on the Evo, they were pretty decent wheels. Second thing that was done to it was that the oem yellow bulbs were replaced with new 8k LED bulbs. Then some carbon fiber parts were added to the car. The front hood received a new carbon fiber hood, the top of the car was blacked out, a shark fin rooftop spoiler was added, and the trunk was replaced with carbon fiber. And integrated on that carbon fiber trunk is a duckbill lip spoiler. All of these things added to the car initially just makes it stand out more and adds more depth to the car.

After having his car color silver/gray for a few weeks, Freshkiicks decided to wrap the car similar to what the 370z nismo and G35 were color wise. Personally I was a fan of this wrap when he had it, since it was something different and didn't see a lot of others out there with the same wrap. And, after the wrap was done, he wanted to get a new rear bumper. So he decided to get a Evo 09 Jdm rear bumper which is a way a better backend for the car. Rather than the stock one which made the back look ordinary and just plain looking. After using those chrome Advan Tc3's for a while, Freshkiicks decided to change things up. He got red gram light wheels. At first that color along with the car didn't really appeal to me. But as time went on and saw more and more posts about it, it started to peak my interest. He didn't have those wheels on for long though. They got switched out for black chrome RPF1's.

From first having the car start out at grey/silver, then wrapping the car blue to now currently having the car wrapped Avery grey, this build has come a long way from the start. When Freshkiicks gave us a preview of the wrap he also showed us what else has been done/changed to the Evo. 10mm carbon fiber fenders, a new carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber lip were added to the car. The stock intercooler was also replaced with a ETS intercooler. A front racing kit with a @compturbo 6266 powercoated by @bulletproofcoating was added to the car. The headlights were also changed by Social Retrofit, they work on headlights and are based in SoCal. The wheels were also changed a few weeks later to meg blue TE37's. He wanted to change the RPF1's since he wanted to lower the car a bit and couldn't with those wheels on the car. When it comes to the performance of the Evo it is a fully built cammed head / FF 6266 / stock bottom end / feed with E85 flex fuel, and it is currently running in the low 600's when it comes to the power of the car. 

350Z Nismo

When Freshkiicks sold his G35 coupe, this was the car that he got to replace it. This 350Z nismo was the 207th built out of the limited amount that they produced. The first set of wheels that he bought for the car were Meister emotion CR 2P wheels. Personally back when he had those wheels I liked them a lot, since they looked unique and different. And since this car is a nismo, it came with the nismo front and back bumper. Which looks way better than the regular HR and DE front and back bumpers. After leaving the car white for a while, he decided to wrap the car blue. He first showed us the wrap on April 3rd 2017, and it sure made the car look different. He then went ahead and got custom headlights that changes colors, and painted the brake calipers red. Also went ahead and got a carbon fiber hood, which was much needed.

After using those Meister emotion CR 2P wheels for a bit, he wanted to change things up. Black chrome RPF1 wheels were then put on the car, these wheels by far were my favorite that he had on his 350Z. Everybody has their own opinions about it, but these wheels were simple but very clean looking. While using the standard type of carbon fiber food Freshkiicks wanted to change things up. So, he replaced his carbon fiber hood with one that has vents on it. For better air circulation and it just looks better than a regular carbon fiber hood. And after having this blue wrap for two months, Freshkiicks decided to go and take the wrap off the car.

Under the blue wrap was the color white that is the original color of the car. And after taking the wrap off, the wheels also changed along with it. He took off the RPF1's and replaced them with stock 370Z nismo wheels. For being an oem wheel, they look very unique and caught my attention real quick with the red lug nuts holding the wheels in place. They by far have to be one of the better oem wheels out there in the market right now. He also wanted to get something for the rear window. Which then brought him to get carbon fiber zakustech louvers for the back. They make the 350Z look more aggressive looking, and different than other cars out on the road. And while his car was still white at the time, he was maintaining around 17 psi power wise and making 680 hp and 670 torque on wastegate. For being a light car and having that much power, the car just flies down the road.

Once again the color of the 350Z was changed, this time it was wrapped Avery grey, which is later on the same color that he wrapped his Evo 09. The Avery grey wrap was done by headline auto design, which are the people that always do his car wraps for him. Freshkiicks also started to bring his 350Z to car shows, so he could show his build off to others and meet fans that support and like his builds. After switching between the 370Z stock nismo wheels and the RPF1's, Freshkiicks decided to go for something else. He got a set of black TE37 wheels, which fit the car very well. And with the wheels he got r888 tires, which are very sticky tires and helps grip to the ground better than other regular tires on the market. When it comes to the performance of the car right now its on a 370Z transmission and it makes around 700 horsepower and around 700 torque since both numbers are around one another. Its hard to know for sure 100% the correct answer since there are problems that are currently happening with the 350Z.
