Garcia's fan club continues to grow every day. "I began building this car just to stand out from other people," he said, "but everywhere I go, people love my car and stop me to take pictures of it." Garcia is a member of the L.A. Chapter Nokturnal Car Club. "After joining the club about 5 years ago, I have worked hard to earn their respect," said Garcia. "Since then, I have worked my way up to joining the council."
Winning numerous car shows in 2009 with this '98 GS400 has given Garcia the recognition he disserves. Some of the car shows include Dub L.A., Dub Arizona, Dub San Jose, Lowrider Nationals, Lowrider Festival and the Ludikrs Car Show.
The "Bentlex" has also been featured on the front cover of Addex Magazine in Europe and Kings of the Street in Arizona. J-Lug Magazine and Lux-G Magazine in Japan have also featured Garcia's custom ride.
Efrain Garcia uses K&N High-Flow Air Intake System 57-9011. "I have used K&N since I bought this car back in 2005," he said. "I got more horsepower and improved my fuel mileage by about 3 miles per gallon. I also love the sound it makes when you step on the gas. It sounds like a jet passing by."
The future holds even bigger plans for Garcia's ride. "I have plans to improve my suspension," he said, "And install a newer, sportier front bumper and grill."
