TeamC4 (Custom Creations Car Club) was created in 2000 by Frank "Sonic" Castaneda. This club has grown to over 20 members and represents some of the hottest and most original cars in the East Coast. The club was created to give people with the passion about modifying their cars an opportunity to be part of a family, compete on the show car circuit. TeamC4 vehicles have been featured in most tuner magazines, import car music videos, and in addition have even appeared in several movie spots with Paramount Pictures, and also music videos with top artists. Not to mention the honor of having our club name be part of NASA's mission to the moon with the Orbiter. TeamC4 as also be able to become the first car club to be accepted outside the tuner world and be known with a top fortune 500 company, Apple. With the introduction of our Web App for the iPhone back in 2007, and now with C4 Mobile, the first car club created iPhone Application now selling in the App Store, World Wide.
Beginning of the Digital Tuner Culture.
Back in 2007, with the first release of the iPhone. C4 was already thinking of ways to use the advanced mobile phone in the tuner culture. Because let's face it, no one really bothered to add both technology and car culture together. So the idea started from there. How can we put this phone into real use with out hobby.
Late in 2007 C4 Mobile was created. As the very first Web App from a car club, to be approved and accepted to the iPhone Web Apps Directory. While native, it was the baby steps to bigger ideas down the road. Three years later, C4 Mobile has laid the foundation to bring the tuner culture into the 21st century.
We are still growing and working on this platform, and learning as we go.
