Spotlight: Uniqueness with Sexiness

November 4, 2010

Minh's IS -15
Being unique is one of the trends these days when it comes to being stance'd. Let's be honest, the stance scene has grown so fast in the automotive world, when we go to our local car meet or event, we at least see one car that's low and on wheels sitting flush all around. When there is a major stance meet, you'll either see totally different or somewhat similar looking cars. The best way to be attractive from all the others? Be unique!
Here's a car that has a set of very common wheels but stands out from all the others. Minh, from Orange County, CA, is the owner of this sexy Lexus IS 300 on Enkei RPF1's, custom painted by Simple Wheel Werks.

Two Amazing Silvia's

September 15, 2010

I came across this random blog, Opposite Grip, from the Zilvia forums and I was very impressed with the build and photography.
You guys check it out and be the judge :)

Combo of Enkei and S2K

August 30, 2010

I really like simple cars.
Coilovers, aftermarket wheels, and stance is enough.

This s2k belongs to Brandon and he kept it very simple and clean.

Don't be thinking simple as cheap because those words have different meanings.

S2K's are sexy to the max. I would love to see better pics of Brandon's ride, but this is what he can provide at the moment.

From what I see in the pics, he's reppin The Chronicles, WFC, and Canibeat, which he definitely should do. I see so much potential in this car. Looking forward to see more done to it!

Wheels in SBC finish + Stance = WIN

August 5, 2010

From the 215 area, Matt Nugent is driving a black RSX with SBC finished Enkei RPF1's.
I've been doing a lot of coverages on cars with RPF1's, but I just can't resist the sexiness of them, especially the concave ones.
Dam..if they only made ones in 5x100 bolt pattern with concaveness..:(
Anyways! Check out this clean and sexy ride of Matt's.
No extreme mods at all, but it's all about the Stance!!
Basic, Simple, Clean, Quality, ... that's enough.
The awesome photography by Matt makes his car even more sexier.

Hot & Cold S14

August 4, 2010

One of my favorite cars, the S14.
Slick looking, fast, popular. It has almost every component that attract car lovers.
I've seen numerous S14's on the streets and most of them are amazing.
Today's coverage is for Ho Young Lee's sexy looking S14 on white Enkei RPF1's.
Why Hot & Cold? Hot because it's a S14 and Cold because of the cool looking white rpf1's.
This dude is ballin owning a S13 and S14, one being a daily driven car and the other for drifting.
It's hard to maintain two cars, espeically if one is for drifting, but Lee managed to do amazing work on both cars.
The S14 is not hellaflush, but stance'd to my liking.
Very clean and well managed, i give this car a thumbs up!

The front of Lee's S14 is amazing. I like the aggressive but clean look.

You could see from the side that the car is well stance'd

Here is a shot of Lee's S13 and S14. You could see how the front bumper of the S13 is pretty much f'ed up :D Drifters = Zip Ties!

Unique & Clean Prelude

July 30, 2010

Clean Clean Clean Clean Clean!!!!
I've never seen such a simple but perfectly stanced and clean Prelude.
Now don't be fooled by just looking at the exterior of this car.
Although it looks very simple, there are much more to it!
Tae Sun Kim, or as people call him Tae, recently painted his car to a green color, which makes his car unique from others. I gotta say that it matches perfectly with the wheels and the car itself.
I'm not a huge fan of the color green, but this one definitely pulls it off.
Every single part of this car matches what I define as a perfectly stance'd and clean car. I've seen many Prelude's in my area and on the streets that were attractive, but this one is now my favorite out of all.

Not a common DC5

July 25, 2010

I woke up today and noticed a reply from an awesome DC5 owner, Tim, aka dc5tim.
Now it's not common to see an Integra involved in the hellaflush scene.
I've been checking the rsx forums for quite a while and luckily came across Tim's ride in the "hellaflush" thread. Most of you guys know I look for cars that are clean and have quality, and I can dare say this one fits my category.
I'm a huge fan of Enkei rpf1's, especially with high offsets, which give it a concave shape. The combination of the silver rpf1's and Tim's black DC5 are right on point! Being hellaflush is great, but keeping it simple and clean is even better.
