Taylor’s BN Sport LS400 | Car Feature

Taylor from Karuma just recently got his car back from the paint shop and boy did he get some work done. Taylor had the body shop mold a BN Sports IS300 kit to his LS400 and it looks so good! We met up after work to get some quick shots in, but because of day light savings we didn’t have enough time for an extensive shoot. Check out what I got though with my limited time…

***********BONUS ROUND***********

I got some shots of Adry’s Lexus IS at the Chino Airport. Too bad Taylor’s car was too low to get into the driveway.

We’re definitely going to plan a re-shoot soon!

Street Slickers Meet Up | Event Coverage

I’ve been itching to drive the SC around since the last time I took it to the IDL Design opening and coincidentally, Shavi happened to hit me up to check out this car meet by Street Slickers. The best part about this meet that it was just down the street from my house and it was Kups one of my favorite spots for italian ice cream.

There was a grip of S13s that showed up, all of them with their own unique styling.

A pair of clean S13 coupes with Enkei Rpf1s and Work Emotion D9R.

Shavi brought out the M30 for me to take it into 714 Tires tomorrow for an alignment. This thing is too ridiculous for me, it scrapes on everything.

This meet had a little bit of everything from VIP to off road trucks.

An old school Toyota Corona with a SR swap. Pretty awesome.

Itasha to off road.

Sweet 86, I’m digging the livery.

Hong’s S13 on Enekei RPF1s.

Boso style Nissan Maxima with a crazy tall exhaust.

Shavi approves of this exhaust.

Man I should’ve washed the SC before coming out.

Jun’s new Yaris and the reason why he’s selling his ISF.

Todd’s Passatt. Love the polka dot vinyl job. Shout out to Street Slickers for the stickers and I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!

Night Magic

First like, first comment, first post this post will be all about the first of everything for 2015. Rang in the new year doing our usual hoodratstuff and basically got nothing done.

When the sun comes down the hoodrats come out to play.

I’ve been wanting to go out to take photos of stars for the longest time. Hanging out in Jordan’s neighborhood gave me the motivation because Villa Park neighborhoods are pitch black with no street lights. Perfect for star gazing.

This reminds me of a great poem I saw the other day.

You were red. You liked me cause I was blue. You touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky and you decided that purple just wasn’t for you.

After some failed attempts to take photos of the stars, we decided that it would be fun to try to light paint. Of course, we never come prepared, so we had to figure out some hoodratstuff.

We had the power of two IPhone 5S with 11%-30% battery life to help us light paint some cars. Even though the first couple of trials gave us some horrendous outcomes, we finally got it together in the next couple of shots.

Pretty good I do say so myself for someone who can’t afford lighting equipment and never really light painted.

For some reason, we thought it would be funny to shoot this photo. JDM sideways parked trashcans are cool right?

Went down the street and just light painted anything that had wheels on it including Shavi’s daily M30. This car has some crazy stuff coming soon and I’m glad that Shavi will use this photo for transformation Tuesdays one day.

Next car was Jordan’s dad’s Mercedes, Jordan sent this photo to his dad and his dad didn’t even recognize his own car and said it was a pretty nice Mercedes.
