The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is a favorite among musicians and sports stars all over the globe but one very special edition stands out among the rest, a brand new 2009 model decked in blood red and customized to the hilt.
Like a young Jay Leno, T-Pain is an avid car enthusiast and has several videos on YouTube featuring his own commentary on his passions for cars. Also like Jay Leno, the young rapper also has the wealth behind him to support his expensive hobby, which appears to be collecting all sorts of luxury and performance vehicles.
T-Pain is the co-owner of Auto Extremes, a vehicle customizer based in Georgia and the creator of the Phantom Drophead Coupe seen here--allegedly the first one built for North America. Some of the vehicle’s highlights include 24 inch wheels, a titanium hood and plenty of teak-decking at the rear.
All that and he doesnt tip valets. I worked at the condo he leases in south Florida. Doesn't say thank you nor does he tip when his car is retrieved. Money does not by class.

There's nothing custom about that Drophead Coupe except the wheels. The hood is not titanium at all, its a factory option (called Brushed Stainless Steel) and the teak decking is standard. I don't have audio at work (so who knows what he's saying about it), but I'm looking at the one in my showroom, as I sell them, and nothing about his car is unique or newsworthy at all. I wonder what he paid to have this clear ad for his company run on motor authority?
