 Feature Car: Corporate Cultured - Chris Gigon's APR Stage III GTI | « » 5:34 PM 9-26-2008 | |
|
 You might call Chris Gigon a company man. No, he doesn’t work for the FBI – at least he’s not saying if he does. Rather, he’s an employee at Alabama’s APR. Consider his day job and consider that he owns this black GTI and it’s a pretty good guess that any further discussion involves the word “Stage” and the number “3”. Full Story

Chris took me for a ride in it a month or so back, its really nice, and fast, I nearly had a heart attack when he took the curve down the road from the shop at 125-130 never letting up  but the suspension held it tight to the road. Congrats Chris.

The vinyl/paint work on the side of the car is phenomenal. I like the mural-esque design.

I saw that same design on a yellow Porsche at the Rolex race here in Daytona, had a big APR tuned vinyl as well.
