History
Team Exotik has been around for almost nine years now and was started by two friends, Brian and David, who moved to the Seattle area from North Carolina. They where members of a club at that time called Exoitk Phantasy’s which had chapters in Baltimore, Maryland and in North Carolina. Upon moving to the Seattle area they both noticed the growing import industry in the area and started a new division of Exotik Phantasy’s in July ’00. Starting with two cars, a ’94 Honda Civic and a ’91 Honda Accord the club grew quickly over a year and a half to as big as fifty-four members. As successful as the club was Brian decided to change the car club and move it in a new direction of high class and business-oriented people/cars who where into the show scene while maintaining a safe and legal sport. With the new changes we reduced our numbers but we stayed together as a family. To add to the new business orientation of the club we changed the name to Team Exotik in ’04 and came out with a more organized and tight nit club.
We have had various members with different types of cars and styles over the years. Some members have been in from the beginning as well as some new strong showing cars. We are constantly reinventing ourselves over the years to keep up with the growing import industry. It is our mission to continue to be trendsetters in the aftermarket import industry.

About Us
Team Exotik consists of various individuals who share a common goal of competing at shows in the import/aftermarket industry. Located in the greater Seattle area we are sometimes isolated from the industry but we strive to leave our footprint. The club currently consists of 15 members with a passion for vehicle customization varying from imports, luxury/VIP to even sport bikes. We are determined to be an organization that is both known and respected throughout the tuner industry.
Our goal is to help pave the way for other clubs to follow and to take pride in promoting the hobby we all enjoy. Team Exotik vehicles have earned various individual and team victories at various venues. Being stranded in the beautiful northwest we travel great distances to shows in states such as: California, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, and Canada.
In 2002 Brian Martin, president of Team Exotik, and some friends started a custom auto body and paint shop called Phantasy Kolors. There custom paint jobs and amazing body work on our vehicles have been featured in various publications such as Tunerzine, Performance Auto & Sound, Super Street, Redline, Banzai, D-Sport, B-Scene, Import Tuner, Import Racer, Max Power, HCI, Lowrider & Lowrider Euro.
Our vehicles are a direct physical embodiment of our personality but the true essence of Team Exotik is in its members. Each member brings unique creativity and a passion for our hobbie. We strive to leave our mark in the phenominon known as the aftermarket/import industry; so it is our mission to continue to be a competitive, trend setting club in the Northwest and we can’t wait to show you what we have planned.
Therefore we present to you
