  • GIVING SZN 2 | Event Coverage

    GIVING SZN 2 | Event Coverage

    Every year we want to do something to give back to the community and Kevin came up with this food drive last year, where people who donate canned food can get raffle tickets for awesome prizes. It was such a big hit that we decided to do it again this year and to try to double up what we received last year in canned foods. This coverage is up late not because I procrastinated, but because it was featured in the latest Stance Magazine. You can see the feature in this issue of Stance Magazine.


    Cars were lined up around the block early in the morning.

    The only time I’ve seen Abbitt’s Subaru out in the streets and it would be the last because after this he parted out his car.

    Super nice Supra on Advan GT wheels.

    Icy Boyz in the house with some super slammed IS300s.

    The RO fam line up.

    Julia collecting canned food from everyone.

    Canned food for days..

    The Johns.

    Another look at Josh’s IS300 wagon. Damn it looks so freaking cool.

    Taylor and Shavi checking out the cars on the street.

    Taylor’s LS400 is so dope.

    Nimo, Allen, Kevin and I.

    Japan VIP low style.

    Shout out to everyone who came out and donated canned food! We received 3,200 lbs of canned food!! A big thank you to the sponsors for donating prizes!!

  • SEMA 2012

    SEMA 2012

    SEMA is an event that everyone in the car industry wants to go to, whether it’s to display their new products, show off new builds, or just to connect with other companies by partying it up in the clubs. Shavi, Keith, and I were able to make it to the last day of SEMA. We kind of got lost walking around the gigantic show and only took photos of things that caught our eyes. It’s either shiny, slammed, or has boobs.

    Not sure what kind of truck this is, but it looked pretty cool. On hydraulics, maybe?

    EGarage’s RWB was chillin’ outsite in the Toyo tires booth.

    Honestly, I just wanted a photo of Fatlace’s GTR, but she insisted on me taking a photo of her with it.

    One of the cars that I was super excited to see was Fatlace’s Ben Sopra GTR.

     Seeing the teaser photos on Instagram was enough for me to skip work and school to go to SEMA to see it in person.

    Rocking some classy Work  Gnosis GS-4.

    The rear end is so aggressive! I love it.

    So much attention to detail to the lines of the body kit.

    Another cute Falken model.

    Liberty Walk Lamborghini Murcielago was another car that I wanted to see in person.

    This car was so awesome, we stood by it for a good 20 minutes.

     

     

     

    Feel bad for this Wald FRS parked next to the Liberty Walk Lambo, not getting the attention that it would have had it been parked alone.

    Sexy Ellen Navaro.

    One of the best builds was this Mercedes Benz 240 with a 2JZ swap on VIP Modulars.

    What impressed me the most was the IS250 interior.

    Very impressive. I give props to the owner for putting in so much work on this classic car.

    Another impressive Mercedes was this SLS AMG GT. Sorry, I couldn’t get a better photo but the model they had was giving a little show when we passed by.

    Can’t wait to see her at Spearmint Rhino.

    Lost.

    XXR’s wheels booth.

    All the 22″ and over wheel companies had the cutest models.

    This is nice…

    This is even nicer…

    This is the best! Vossen bringing the heat.

     GMG carbon fibered out R8.

     Hankook girls.

    Probably the best car of the whole show…

     Whiteline had Rene’s BRZ as a display.

    Jeren showing off his upper body strength and his 240’s KA-T strength.

    Vinh reppin’ DSPORT.

    Surprised this tracked out Prius wasn’t in the DSPORT booth.

    Hop in kids, it’s time to take a spin around the track.

    New Acura.

    Word on the street is that this is just an old NSX with the new NSX’s mold.

    Impressive…

    Color scheme is a bit off on this new Accord. Less red would be best.

    How the hell did they get this Genesis up there?

     Old school Corvette.

    Hyundai Veloster?

     Fatlace FRS, get the tissue papers ready for some FRS porn.

    Those tail lights are sick as fuck.

     The graphic design goes so well with the Rocket Bunny kit.

    Fatlace.

    Rear fitment.

    Cool skate deck.

    Forever top down FRS.

    It looked so futuristic for some reason.

    Lucas Oil FRS.

    Evasive Motorsports FRS.

    “Dat aero doe”

    Second place winner of the FRS challenge was this evil tracked out FRS.

    Looks fast, must be fast.

    The winner of the Scion tuning challenge was the Minty FRS.

    Reminds me of Miguel’s Minty Z, it even had the same steering wheel. Just needs some VIP Modulars and it would be set.

    Moon Eyes.

    Source Interlink’s FRS.

    Perform so hard, only need 3 wheels.

    More Bunnies.

    What is that beyond thy booth?

    A 1000hp Ben Sopra GTR.

    The red makes it look so sinister.

     

    Race car low.

     No clue who this guy is, but there were a lot of cameras around him.

    Rotiform FRS on Air Lift.

    One of the prettiest models of the entire show. Heavenly smile.

    I would date her so hard.

    Caught a glimpse of the man behind Liberty Walk.

    Falken had some of the models wearing a Falken superhero costume…I wonder why.

     THAT’S WHY.

     Pretty cool 1969 Ford Mustang.

    The new Mustangs look fantastic. I would not mind it at all.

    Only cool car in the Mazda booth, in my opinion.

    Dumped Subie.

    Time attack killa Subie.

    Clean 911.

     

    Wek Sos IS250.

    Bitches love Swarosvki.

    When Euro and JDM combine to make an awesome car.

    CR-Ultimates.

    Clean Blue Bird.

    More FRSNESS.

    Interesting S2K with cool body lines from the body kit.

    Right by it was this cool Mazda RX-7 .

    Audi Wagon representing Rotiform even though it’s not rocking Rotiforms, you should know Rotiform does a lot of BBS restoring.

    Sittin’ pretty.

    Pretty sweet bug on Rotiform concave NUEs?

     SEMA was an awesome experience. It opened my eyes to modify cars that I wouldn’t think twice about, like the newest Ford Mustang and the Hyundai Veloster. Hopefully next year, we’ll be able to go for more than one day and really experience all of SEMA. I feel like we really rushed it because we wanted to explore everything and didn’t get to see the small things at SEMA like the new products and the seminars.

  • Auto Gallery 2012

    Auto Gallery 2012

    Time is something I have very little of nowadays, so I’m sorry I haven’t been providing any content lately. I have photos of a little photo shoot we did after Auto Gallery, Hella Flush 11, and the G35 meet/More Japan Sale, so be sure to check the site regularly! Now onto Auto Gallery, this show was pulled off successfully by Team Praxis.  You don’t know how hard it is to pull an event near the beach. It costs tons of money and a ton of paperwork from the city. Food trucks aren’t even allowed to be within a mile of the beach, but  somehow Team Praxis got them in. The show gave a beach party type of vibe, with music blazing and bikini models walking around like in the music video for the song Starships by Nicki Minaj.
