    More Preparations | Enjoy Sin

    A very important thing to check before a long road trip is your alignment and tire wear. Thankfully, we have the good guys over at 714 Tires to help us prepare our cars for the long trip to Las Vegas. They are one of the few shops in Southern California that work on slammed cars.

    The other day, Kevin came to visit me at work and brought out the S2000 for some fresh air. Thought it would be cool to shoot his car since I’ve only shot it when it’s at a meet or a show.

    This wrap by Robros Customs is so good. The wrap job is so detailed that it looks like paint and the way it is laid out hides the fact that it’s a wrap.

    Vertex steering wheel is in my opinion the coolest steering wheel on the market. Quality you can feel.
