"We are excited to have Wirez join the Clarion Builds program and are looking forward to the audio and multimedia installation phase of the project where we'll be digging in to our collective product line-ups to pick the very best in order to make sure our iconic BMW 2002 sounds as great as it should."

"Partnering with Clarion for the Clarion Builds BMW project was a pretty easy decision for Wirez." said Terry Letteney, President of Wirez Inc.

The first Clarion Builds project, the ground up restoration of a 1974 BMW 2002, an iconic modern classic, will be a work of art at the completion of the project.
