    Every year Toyo Tires hosts a photography gallery event called “Shutter Space”, where they show some of the best automotive photography. The event happened to be down the street from where I live, so me and some of the boys decided to come and check it out. 

    The parking lot was already packed with sick cars.

    DSC07689Looks good from the front, but the rear is quite questionable. Its here at Greddy HQ for some research and development since Greddy has a good relationship with Lexus.

    Good job to Kevin for working on this build in such a short amount of time. Many late nights went into this, and there are many more nights to come, especially with the next phase of the build being a 2JZ-GTE build. Also, congratulations for getting 2nd place best BMW at Wekfest San Jose 2016.
