certain to be a very well-known wrap designer, such as the ones that have been gracing the pages of magazines. But we kept the secret until the private and pub- lic debuts!


PRIVATE DEBUT EVENT AT DETAILING DYNAMICS


famous wrap designers and shops throughout the States, and even a few from Europe and Asia, submitted more than 100 sample designs total. Sadly, none of these were sufficient or eye catching enough. None of them had the showmanship, the flash, and the style of the past exotic car wraps that have allowed TeamSalamone to help raise over $1 million in charitable donations for various charities and causes. We were now losing hope that we would find the design we needed.


THE DESIGN SEARCH ENDS AFTER LAMBORGHINI GIRO


Upon returning home from the Lamborghini GIRO on August 1st, 2015- anticipating the delivery of the Aventador SV- I glimpsed the tear-streaked face of Divina. She was weeping with joy, for she had found a design that was so fresh, so new, that she could not contain herself. The design was submitted by NS2 Media, which drew many questions- namely, who were they? On Divina’s initial phone call to the company, a 14-year old boy named Nick from Pennsylvania answered and introduced himself. Nick and his friend, An- thony, had started the design in a video game where the player is able to do cus- tom paint designs for the car they have in the game. They then decided to input that design into a laptop and attempt to compete with multi-million dollar design shops. In communicating with Nick and Anthony, TeamSalamone found a fresh design from two teenagers who expressed enthusiasm that adults seem to have lost. There were nights when Divina and I would Facetime with the teenagers until 4 a.m. as they perfected the design, which totaled almost a hundred hours in design time before it was finished.


This became more of a friendship than just a working relationship. The teens would text us constantly throughout the day regarding adjustments and refinements to the design. At one point, Nick asked me to write his parents a letter because it seemed that nobody believed he had accomplished a design of such magnitude. You see, nobody knew who won this contest. It had all been kept secret. TeamSalamone contacted wrap suppliers and wrap designers and, one by one, told them they lost the contest to a famous design dream team. Anticipation has built. U.S. wrap designers were certain that we had obtained the design from Europe. European designers assumed that we had obtained it from Japan. Everybody assumed that the person who was doing this design was


The Internet was buzzing about the upcoming private reveal on Friday, Au- gust 21st for the design of the TeamSalamone Aventador SV. A week before the reveal, we met with the wrap designers for the first time in person. The meet- ing went even better than anticipated, with young Nick requesting a hug from Divina as proof that it was not a dream! There was an instant chemistry as Nick and Anthony brought something to TeamSalamone that had been missing– the youthful exuberance of teenagers! In working hard to make these teenagers’ dream come to reality, we obtained the services of Detailing Dynamics, who originally designed the Gumball 3000 wrap that shocked the world in 2012. Furthermore, we obtained sponsorship from XPEL Paint Protection Film and Metro Restyling, the United States’ largest source for vinyl wrap. The dream team designers, Nick and Anthony, have now created a name for themselves. They are now known as NS2 Media. They appeared at Detailing Dynamics in Mineola to see their creation at the private debut before the public debut the following day. There was a team of photographers, reporters, and videographers to record the event. The car was flawless, and the weekend cele- bration commenced.


PUBLIC DEBUT OF THE TEAMSALAMONE AVENTADOR SV We left Long Island at 5:00 a.m. the next morning and drove to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for the Super Cars on State Street (SCOSS) Breast Cancer Charity event. This well-known event involves police and state government officials supervising the positioning of cars near the steps of the Capitol Building. Once everything was in position, Channel 21 News appeared for the uncovering of the Aventador SV before hundreds of people! The founder of the event, Ed- ward Ross, presented the designers and TeamSalamone with handmade awards on a live television broadcast. After spending Saturday night in Connecticut (the designers escorted by


Nick’s mom), we took part in the Dream Ride Organization event on Sunday, which is one of the largest events in the Northeast United States providing char- itable donations for the Special Olympics. There were at least ten hyper-cars in- cluding a Pagani, La Ferrari, and several McLaren P-1s. Though the hyper-cars were amazing, it was the TeamSalamone Aventador SV that completely stole the focus of the show!


After a weekend of touring through three states, traveling over 750 miles, being on more than one television station, and being photographed by thousands, the young dream team expressed their thanks to TeamSalamone and parted ways. After returning home, we noticed that there were countless messages from wrap installation companies across the United States asking for the contact information of our new design team, NS2 Media. Find NS2 Media at NSIIMedia@gmail.com or on Instagram as ns2_media. TeamSalamone can be reached at TeamSalamone@aol.com or on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Periscope as TeamSalamone. LA VITA
