Nightlight | Built Like No Other

Perhaps this might be over exaggerating, but S2000s represent the Honda scene with its sporty look and compactness. The discontinuation of this model became a disappointment in the automotive community and seeing one just triggered the greediness of almost every sports car fans to buy one. Slick body design, simple yet unique interior, and highly respectable performance stats of an s2k is the reason why the car has its fame.
We've seen numerous S2000s featured on blogs, sites, and magazines, some highly modified ones to just simply clean, but today, you'll be seeing one that's like no other; updated body design, simple but quality equipped interior and fully tuned and built stock motor. Still don't understand? Let's just start it off with an introduction; Charles's custom built widebody s2k.

Random Spotlight: Accord in Fashion

The new gen Accords have a totally different look from the old ones, which make them more unique and difficult to achieve a look that will be appreciated by others.
I've never seen a stanced 2010 Accord in SoCal, but that was before I saw this one, owned by Chris Pham.
Appreciated? Hell yes!

Event Coverage: Formula D/Fatlace 1of1: Title Fight (Part 1)

Probably the most intense and over-crowded event in California, Irwindale Speedway held the final round of Formula D with the top drifters all around the world. But before I get into depth about the drifting event, I want to share some amazing hellaflush/stance rides in California. For every Formula D, we can't forget about the collaborating crew, Fatlace.
The top cars are chosen to show their rides like every other FD event, but yesterday was more meaningful for all the participants because of the massive amount of spectators, well-known media blog photographers, and obviously, watching the final round of Formula D.

Event Coverage: The Pursuit 2

October seems like the month when all the events are forced to happen.
The month just started and already, there were three events on Sunday.
For those who check the sites status on Facebook, you guys knew I was planning to go to 3 events, and yes, I did.
If you guys want it, I get it!

Out of the year, 'The Pursuit' is the largest Lexus show that happens in SoCal. I don't know where it took place last year, but this year, it was at Irwindale Speedway, the same place where the Scion show occured.
The turnout was amazing and I'm speculating more than 300+ cars showed up.
Never seen so many VIP's in one show and I'm pretty sure the AutoFashion event will have more, but for a Lexus show, seems like 20~30% were VIP cars, which is the reason why I enjoyed walking around taking pictures.
It's not an everyday opportunity to see all types/models of Lexus's coming from different states to show their car and drag race. As much as I enjoyed the show, the amount of spectators present was great and they enjoyed it as well.

3 events were going on in one day...
and~~~~I managed to go to all 3 so good job to me :D

Random Spotlight: tC + VS-XX = WIN!

There are so many cars out there that deserves a coverage and I am glad to be the first person to write my own for a fellow Korean tC owner, Jin, aka riboflavin. If you check WFC or ScionLife often, Jin is one of those tC owners that know what's up with the hellaflush scene. I know for sure that this tC stands out in his area because of the unique custom paint job that was done to his car. By the way, this is the ONLY tC with this color. Perfectly stanced with WORK VS-XX wheels, nothing can go wrong. I nearly spent more than 10 minutes looking at his pictures with amazement.
Thanks Jin for the detailed info about your ride. Great job!

VIP is250

Browsing through the WrongFitmentCrew forums, I came across a post by Carson, aka jdmis250. I instantly PM'ed him to get some info about his car. Definitely one of the Lexus IS series that caught my attention right away after I saw the first pic he posted.
Most of the Lexus's are in the VIP scene and I can tell you that Lexus owners know how to fix up their cars. From luxuriousness to being properly stanced, Carson did a GREAT job. How can a Lexus not be sexy when it's on WORK wheels?

-3.5 & -4.5 camber?? What?? Sometimes you gotta sacrifice something to become stanced. Roll & Pull, and lastly, camber it! Great job!
