Random Spotlight: Fit is Fitted

December 30, 2010

IMG_0455

How often do you see a Honda Fit on HRE wheels AND on Air.
If you haven't seen one yet, let me introduce you to Icky's Honda Fit from Indonesia.
We've seen few Honda Fits rolling around in our neighborhood and I've actually seen some at events/shows here in SoCal, but have never seen one like Icky's Fit.
This is one of the two rides Icky owns, the other being a
Noblesse Lux. Both are absolutely breath taking, but we'll be talking about only one today because I can only handle a certain amount of amazement.

Jetta on Mercedes

August 9, 2010

What do you guys think of a Jetta on Mercedes wheels?
Well if you think it doesn't match, check out this ride of dubber's from WFC

Most of the Jettas in the hellaflush scene go with air suspension rather than coilovers.
Why? because the lower the better!
Seriously, Jetta's look much better when slammed to the ground.
Dubber also went with air suspension, but that's not what makes this Jetta special and unique.
The wheels are from Mercedes! Yes~ Mercedes.
Love the way how Dubber took a different route from other Jetta's.

Luxurious VIP GS300

August 3, 2010

This will be my first coverage of a VIP, Luxurious stance'd car and will be doing some more coverages of VIP cars in the future.
So, for those who are new to this scene,

VIP Style refers to the modification of Japanese luxury automobiles to make them more fashionable and more luxurious. VIP Style are typically large, expensive, rear-wheel drive sedans, though automotive enthusiasts use other cars like minivans and Kei cars. Once associated with the yakuza, VIP Style modifications now are a subset of automotive modification
Characteristics
Cars associated with VIP style usually have common characteristics, such as large diameter rims (usually broad faced designs) with low offsets that sit flush with the fender, exhausts that stick out past the rear bumper (although not so much emphasized these days), a full bodykit or lip kit, glossy paint and a lowered ride height. It is not uncommon to see extremely negative camber on many VIP style cars. Traditional colors of VIP Style cars are usually black, white, grey and silver.
Here in SoCal, I think Lexus's are dominating the VIP scene.
Let me introduce you to one of those Lexus owners, on3_lo35 from Raleigh, NC, representing TeamRPM & I/S/O.
Steve, aka on3_lo35, is an owner of 3 cars (s2k, GS300, G35) and one of them (G35) is in the build-up process as of today. If you want to take a peek, check out his progress thread.

Let's get back to his VIP car. The GS300 is clean all around with an awesome touch to the exterior and obviously, a luxurious interior with Junction Produce products. I love observing VIP cars and always wonder how they can fit everything perfectly with air suspension. Take a minute or two to check out Steve's ride and be amazed!
