The only time you'd normally put a Ford Transit Connect van together with Piloti racing shoes is if the van in question were delivering them, or there were a 1-make van racing series... which sounds kind of cool now that we think about it. But take those two, add H&R Springs and what you've got is a SEMA-specific combination.
H&R did its usual, dropping the Transit Connect over a set of 19-inch wheels, and then Piloti finished the interior in a steel and microsuede wonderland topped off by a wooden shift knob and two creepy baby shoes hanging from the rearview mirror. You can check out the press release after the jump, and that wild speaker setup in the gallery of high-res images below.

I'll take one in Navy Blue with the White Stripes, or White with Blue Stripes.
The rear hinges need some work - but this is a perfect vehicle for those of us that are 'active-types' and also an example of Ford using some brains in bringing a model over from the real, capable Ford. Of Ford Motor Company - of Europe.
