WrongFitmentCrew @ Eurowise Spring Meet

2011-04-10T23:22:00.001-04:00

This event was a huge success!! Great turnout and beautiful people and cars everywhere. Weather was a little up and down, but it was cool for th most part. Hearing engines roaring on the dyno every now and then made everyone smile. Parking lots full of cars, not to mention the street as well. There was so much of a selection that we didn't get to capture everything there. We want to say sorry if we missed yah and thanks for all you support!!

So our videographer Ceda, wasn't able to make the show, the rest of the members were able to though. So we decided to borrow his equipment to record footage of the event at Eurowise this past weekend. Keep in mind this was our first time shooting video and my first time editing whatsoever. We hope y'all can bear with us and enjoy this video.

We wanna thank everyone making this event possible. Ryan for putting the event together. Mike at Eurowise for allowing the event to take place there. WrongfitmentCrew Members that came and supported the movement. And ofcourse the spectators and guest who made this event such a blast! Photo coverage will be up soon!

Brickyard Wagon

2011-03-17T13:44:00.001-04:00

Everyone loves to see a stanced out Wagon, no matter what the make. Subie Wagons are personally my favorite; so naturally, when I had seen Andre's Wagon online, my eyes were glued to it. Andre went through an array of colors with this Subie; his current color is the 350z Brickyard Red, which is very pleasing to the eye. Andre began modding the Wagon's suspension for track, he inevitably went lower and lower with his setup. Although we weren't given a mods list, we can tell Andre knows what he's doing. Daily driven on 17x9 White Rota Torques really compliments the brickyard very nicely. Simple and clean is all that needs to be said.

SL: Subie's are always a joy to see stanced out; What made you want a Wagon?

Andre: Well ive always had a subaru since i started driving, this is my 3rd one. Just always love and been into wrx wagon. I do a lot of out door stuff and drive everywhere so it was an easy choice when deciding between a wagon or sedan. Previous subaru was a sedan, couldnt fit much junk in the trunk..ahah

SL: What got you into the Hellaflush movement?

Andre: Not sure..ahah car started being built as a track/autoX/touge car..slowly started getting lower and lower and eventually what it is now, Although I still do the occasional track day/touge run, when I can with how it sits now, still love it and try and make time for it when I have money.

SL: Anything you hate about being stanced?

Andre: Anything i hate about being stanced, nope other then having to take the occasional different route to somewhere..have no complaints, love driving!!!

SL: Seeing as you are keeping things simple and clean, do you have any future plans?

Andre: Future plans. Not really, just kinda go with it. Maybe another lip, last lip got ripped off same night I put it on. Most of the funds go in to random suspension stuff.

SL: Anyone you would like to thank?

Andre: My family for putting up with me taking the garage over and my all my friends that have had major influences in the way that my car is today and everyone that has hooked me up with anything to do with my car, MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

Wise Guys Drift

2011-01-22T00:44:00.000-05:00

Not many people know this, but Wisdom comes with drifting. Of course, you only become wiser with your drift techniques. Derek Wise straight outta the "A"(Atlanta, for those of you who aren't street savvy), drifts as a hobby. When the drift track isn't enough, he drifts elsewhere. At night, when the streets get quiet and the city of ATL sleeps, Derek slides along the empty roads improving his drift swag. Your probably wondering, what kind of car does he drift with? Derek Wise's weapon of choice is a slammed, Jackson Racing supercharged, stance'd out Mazda Miata. Not only does he drift this monstrous beast, it's Daily Driven too. We interviewed Derek via the world wide web and here's what he had to say.

Photos taken by unknown source :?)

SL: "What inspired you to build a miata?"
Derek: "The inspiration behind the vehicle started because most people who drove miatas in GA were older men more of the keep it factory, or only do so much to it type. I was always a fan of them after a buddy back in high school had one and i loved it. Back then i was in a 240...figures hahaha. So i began doing some research on the cars and found a few better looking stanced ones in cali on a forum (clubroadster.net) and said to myself there really are none here in Atlanta, so im gonna build one."

SL: "So hows the low life treatin' yah?"
Derek: "Living the slammed life is a life of its own, you get looked at by older people thinking "what on earth did they do that for?!" I love it, it also doesnt help to have a bud like Justin Butera, he loves the low life, so not lower...slamming your car is not an option. But like everyone else in Prime Auto, its what we love doing, so easy answer, i love the low life."

SL: "What got you into the fitted/hellaflush/stance'd lyfe?"
Derek: "I got into this whole scene like anyother dude bro, going to meets and bigger shows. There wasnt really a hellaflush/fitted scene in Atlanta for a while, and it took a while to catch on here. But id have to say i got into it by watching the scenes in Japan, and seeing other built and stanced cars here (mainly vw's, i dont think anyone does it harder.) SO yeah i baisically watched japan and germany and decided to take it to a miata."

SL: "Any future plans to the miata?"
Derek: "Ahh future plans, well the car was rear ended in November 2010, and sadly it was totaled, so im trying to cope with having to let the car go and parting it out, but I will be back in the game in no time with another miata, so you guys better keep your eyes open. Ill just let you in on some secrets, bigger power, better stance, more appealing colours, and some burnouts! hahahaha"

SL: Special Thanks
Derek:
"Ive have had a lot of help with the car along the way, I have to give a big thanks to Prime Auto (Justin Butera, Sheldon Sales, Austin Johnson, those three probably have the most help in the actual car.) and all the guys in it. With out them my car would definitely not be where it is today, long nights plenty of beers and laughs helped it. I also wanna give a big thanks to any girlfriend i had at the time who put up with the drifting, building and shows i made them sit through. Over all the biggest thanks are to the readers, they keep everything going. And to the magazines, online or off, they help show everyone what we do in the scene!"

Derek, you are truly an artiste. We commend you on drifting your daily driver and riding that low. Keep doing what you do bro. Hopefully everything will be fixed before the season starts. We hope we get to see you at our first meet. whenever that is.

Annual Supra Meet @ Quaker Steak Coverage

2011-01-11T16:13:00.001-05:00

This past weekend, we were graced by the appearances of Supras and JZ-swapped cars from all over the east coast. Every year the Supra Meet is an Highly Anticipated show where people eat together, meet old friends, and just have a hell of a good time. Although it was extremely cold this past weekend, the meet still had plenty attendees and spectators. We were fortunate enough to get our very own photographer, Trevor Whittaker, to go through the cold, brutal weather.

Enjoy!

Old player, new game

2010-12-10T21:07:00.000-05:00

In the world of stance and modifying cars in general, we are never satisfied with our setups. The prime example is Easton's IS300 from New Orleans. He was one of the first features that we ever did. He told us that he had many plans in store for the future, but we didn't know that it would happen this quickly. He opted out of having stock bumpers and went with Version:Select front bumper and sideskirts, finished off with a vertex rear lip. That is all that has changed, but it makes a whole world of difference and gives this IS a Phresh new identity. Check him out.

Easton, we are glad that you decided to update us. People like you help keep us moving forward. We wish you the best on any new projects you may encounter. Until then, Keep it "HELLLADOPE"

A new contender...

2010-11-03T11:59:00.002-04:00

A buddy of mine, Sid Fligel, texted me the other day and said, " I'm shooting a mazda protege, stanced of course. Take a look at it and tell me what you think." He sends me a picture and I was pressed to see that this Protege was headed in the right direction. Most of the time when I see a Protege, they are either beat to h#!!, or completely stock. Kevin Noitalay out of Charlotte, NC made me change my mind about Protege's. Kevin's Protege is rockin' a set of Rota D2's 17x8.5 +25 offset complimented by Ground Control Coilover sleeves sat in Tockico Illumina struts. He definitely has the right motive and direction for the perfect stance. We just can't wait to see it when Kevin finishes his whole setup. Good luck to you Kevin and keep it up.

Sid: What direction did the car start in and how has it changed?
Kevin:I started modding it basically as a car to have fun with, and to try things out on, i admit it might have started a bit ricey, with the wheel gap and the full fiberglass body kit, but i guess i liked it at that point. It has definitely changed for the better, for some reason i just could never get enough low. Around freshman year in college i changed the front end and started getting more and more obsessed with going lower so i purchased the coil over sleeves, and still wasnt happy with my ride height. So then i looked into modifying the strut, and about a year ago i got introduced to "Hella Flush" and everything changed. haha ill be getting full coilovers asap.

Sid: Where do you see your car going next?
Kevin: To the ground. and a repaint, lol Gonna try and clean up the look a bit.

Sid: Shout outs?
Kevin: To my brother for helping me out, the mazda forums for helping me dial in the stance, Everybody before me who has stanced their cars as inspiration, and of course the photographer, SID!

Mod list
- Rota D2 17x8.5 +25
-Tokico Illumina struts
-Ground control coilover sleeves

Courtesy of Russel "Rsellos" Abang

...met a model so down to earth. Tiffany Schreffler is an aspiring 21 year-old model out of Charlotte, NC. I had a chance to hang out with her a couple weeks ago and she was nothing but generous and sweet. As an aspiring photographer she gave me the chance to practice my photography and man was I geeked! I was very excited to work with her and try out my portrait shots. It was a rainy day yet we still had a great time. She even model with my car! Russell Abang, also known as "Rsellos" (was there that rainy day), is a great photographer and he was kind enough to give me tips and tricks to photography. Although Tiffany had somewhere to be later on in the afternoon, she was cool enough to stick around for another hour and shoot with my car. Down-to-earth and beautiful; what more can you ask for!

SL: "How did you get into modeling?"
Tiffany: "I had my first shoot ever in 2007 just for the fun of having professional pictures. After that, I took a break, then a very good friend helped me get back into it in 2009. Modeling is something that just feels right to me! I love being in front of a camera and showing people the strong person I am just by seeing my photos. It's my life, my heart, my passion."

SL: "What inspired you to pursue a career in modeling?"
Tiffany>: "My interest sparked when I started watching America's Next Top Model. I saw the episode where the girls were doing a shoot with a mustang (no jokes please ;) and they were dressed like Pin-ups. I LOVED the idea! I had already done a shoot, but the pictures were simple headshots... to this day, I still haven't done that shoot! LOL"

SL: "Out of all modeling careers, why did you choose to pursue a modeling career in the tuner scene?"
Tiffany>: "I picked up the first Import Tuner issue back in 2008. Since 2007 I have been in the scene, but more on the learning about imports side. My first show I ever went to, HIN NightShift 2008, I was inspired by the gorgeous models working at the booths, dancing on stage, posing by the cars. It just happened that I was wearing something appealing to the show, and I was asked to pose with the cars! The ENTIRE TIME I was walking around, people were asking me who I was representing, how often I model, and eventually, I found myself IN LOVE with Import Modeling. From there, I got myself into the business, started setting up my own shoots, and began emailing people. Since then, I have grown and become more confident in my decision to follow the Import Modeling avenue. This my dream, this is me, and this is what I love."

SL:"Anyone you would like to thank?"
Tiffany:" To everyone who has helped me throughout the years to keep pursuing my dreams and doing what I love. My boyfriend of 3 years has been there since the start encouraging me and pushing me to do what makes me happy. My mom for putting up with me and my “moments”. I wouldn’t be modeling if it wasn’t for her initially. Team INERTIA of Charlotte, who induced me and helped introduce me to the lifestyle. I'm also the secretarty of the club, and they have become family over the past 3 years. My family, friends.... Of course my amazing photographers, with their words of advice and knowledge, leading me in the right direction. Last but CERTAINLY not least, God of course. I have to admit, I’m blessed :)"

Trey Chavis, aka Travis, is one cool dude. Down to earth and just fun to talk to, Trey is the greatest entertainer at meets and makes the time fly. What kind of car would such a cool guy, like Trey, drive? His car of choice is an S13 240sx Coupe with a custom Candy Apple Red with a ridiculous amount of Metallic flake. This car is very pleasing to the eye, sporting some boss 338's 18x8 et-2 up front and 18x9.5 et-4 in the rear to help get that extra attention. These wheels are known on the streets as "Hood Status" wheels and are complimented with D2 Coilover's slammed by taking a collar out on each.

SL: What made you want to get a 240?
Trey: Well in terms of getting a 240sx...i wanted one ever since i saw the one of the old signal auto cars{when they were a dark blue}in a option video...and it took back to freshman year of college killin it with a sil eighty on gran tourismo one.

"Rockin' the Illest badge"

SL: Crushin Dreams Crew; Where did you come up with the name?
Trey: Now...about crushin dreams crew....i was with my boy Cei who to has been into imports for years,sitting in his garage....im looking around at the 08 zo6 and the nasty 1000rr and thought about how we've managed to crush dreams through the years.....and bammmmmm...crushin dreams crew started.

"Hood Status"

Knowing Trey, this isn't going to be the first we see him on here with a sick whip. I hear he has plans for a late model Benz, but Hey, thats a whole other story we will have to wait for. Trey, you are the freakin' man, Big ups to you and the Crushin Dreams Crew. We can't wait to chill with You at the next meet. Until then, "Street News B*tch!!!"

2010-09-07T01:03:00.000-04:00

Words of George Lopez can describe this meet; "Shoooooooooooooaaaaaaaa!" This meet was incredibly fun and relaxing. Although, not many cars were present it was still great 'ol BBQ meet. I mean he crowd was great. Nothing but friendly people were there. We were approached by such great people at the meet making the time fly. The cars at the meet were amazing and we were randomly visited by some nice cars(who hopefully in the future will become flush :) and spectators who were all so great.
"Free food!" One our founders, Sidney, was so stoked about that. Music was being played which lightened the mood and mellowed everyone out. Another founder of StancedLyfe: Ceda, with his Flip camera and skateboard, recorded some video and is making a video exclusively for us. What topped this meet off with a nice BIG CHERRY, was the Blue Ridge Mountain run. There is nothing like having the windows down, smelling clean fresh mountain air, and cruising with 20 other cars. Watching Sid Fligel and Ryan Norris in the back of Tyler Gaiewski's(UrbanFLTH founder) truck swinging back in forth with their camera's were amusing to watch. All in all, the meet was a blast. Big ups to everyone who was there and the people who made things happened.

You step out of your car into a beautiful summer day. All you hear is the sound of cars rolling by in a low tone. YOu look out and around to see Stanced and flush cars from allover the East. Your mind is blown by the amount of cars at the show. Excitedly, you walk with your friends to browse cars. Listening to the Music by DJ Moob Force. Seeing all the photographers, taking pictures made you want to do the same. So you whip out your camera and start taking photos. Exhausted from the heat, you go inside to participate in a workshop in the cool A/C and learn a few things about stance from Anh-Tuan Tran. After that, you go back outside and do it all over again. Thats what i Did. It was the greatest meet i have ever been too thus far. Great people, food vendors, Dj on the table, and UTI's dedicated staff made this meet a blast. Thanks I/S/O and everyone who helped putting this meet together! Cant wait until next time.

Simple IS Clean

2010-08-18T19:07:00.000-04:00

When I was younger, I had a stock tC with no sense of direction. I didn't know what parts to buy or what was cool at the time, I was just a regular guy with a Lowered tC with a Loud exhaust. Luckily as the years have gone by, my knowledge of cars and different cultures have greatly expanded. As the tuner scene grows, generations younger and younger are joining the scene. Easton Oreman is an 18 year old enthusiasts from New Orleans that knows much more than i did at that age. Easton struts around New Orleans in his cleanly pieced Lexus IS300. When he's not roaming the streets, the IS sits proper with a set of Rays LMGT4's 18x8.5 +25 on the fronts, and 18x9.5 +30 on the rears slammed on Stanced GR coilovers. His wheel and suspension setup is sick already,but thats not where it ends. He has a vast list of tasteful mods with plenty of great ideas to come.

Lexus's are known for the VIP styling that they pull off so well. Although VIP is a great culture, the Stance'd subculture is taking over, with clean fitment and a low Lyfe-style. I have to admit, Easton pulls a proper stance off so easily. Complimenting his stance is the JDM Altezza rear bumper, sport Altezza tail lights, and retrofitted TSX projectors to set his self unique from other IS's.

"SL: What inspired you to become flush?
Easton: Funny question, well before I was flush, I rocked some nasty 17x7 +42 Work Cr Kai's with Tein S-Tech springs and Tokico blue shocks. I was not happy one bit with how the car looked and I knew I had to step my game up. Soon after I realized this I had went to the mall and as I'm leaving my wheel just so happens to fall off doing damage to my quarterpanel and wheel. So every day at school I'd be looking for new wheels and finally I found the set that came to me, the Rays. I had been looking for something with fitment so the car would look aggressive, to answer your question. I was done looking like everything else and wanted something that was sick."

After that series of unfortunate events, he got back on his feet and the search for new wheels begun, settling on the Rays LMGT4's. He wanted the IS to be one to remember. As you are reading this, Easton's IS is in the shop right now getting some new work done and planning too have moar low! For an 18 year old, he is doing quite well for himself. When I was 18, I barely had two mods on my tC, and let alone having it in the shop.

"SL: Any future plans?
Easton: Well the car is in the shop having some fender work done and full vertex kit installed and sprayed. After this there are a few more little things I plan to do with the car, not much though. Altezza grill is the first thing on that list, I'm still iffy about a carbon hood or not. The next big thing will be a 2JZ-GTE swap with bpu upgrades"

I can't wait to see the new look and I wonder how this car will progress throughout the months to come. Great work Easton. Keep us posted.

"SL: Special thanks?
Easton: My friends for all the help and work put into the car. My girlfriend, Carly for having patience with my car scene and addiction."

G37? Just throw it in the BAG!

2010-08-12T01:57:00.000-04:00

"Pssssshhhhht!" Imagine your just hanging with your friends and at the corner of your eye you see something shining in the distance. You turn to see that its a pavement-eating, Stance'd G37 coupe riding clean with the windows down and the wheels oh so clean. 2C, owns this wonderfully pieced G37, first to Pull off an aggressive stance on a G37. Aggressive? Try this out for aggressive, 2C is riding on some 20x9.5 and 20x10 AME Shallen MX wheels with offsets somewhere in the negative. Since 2C was the first to pull an aggressive stance off on a G37, he is very secretive about his setup. 2C has this to say about his inspiration to the flush game.

"Like everybody else I started from just buying wheels that sit clean, with some decent offset and tires that's good enough to hold performance. Then I discovered the Flush movement and it started to interest me. Not only that my own team members and other people in our car community started following it and it really strives me to seek this new style. Too my eyes it looked fascinating and just looked so cool and to my opinion it makes the car look even better and really compliments it more. Playing with this also awarded me the opportunity to even get a deeper dish and that is what I always wanted! After discovering the culture and style fat fitted tires looked ugly too me, the discovery of stretched low profile tires on wheels with fat lips and riding dump grew onto me. I was the first with proof of the forums, the known Infiniti Community, and the Import car show world to do an aggressive set up on a 08 Infiniti G37 Coupe. Pushing the limits beyond what anyone claimed impossible."

2C's G37 is very inspiring and Dope as hell. He is very involved with the Infiniti community and a very active member on the forums. This wasn't his first time messing around with a G coupe and definitely not his first time in the tuner scene.

"Coming form an Evo VIII and moving onto an Infiniti G35 I quickly fell in love with it. After being so involved in the G Community and growing so close to my car I got addicted to modding my G. I later end up supercharging the G35 and pushing it to the limits on a stock blow and end up blowing the motor. At that point it was a decision to build the motor or just de-mod and get rid of the car and start over. I chose option B which was to start over and I quickly wanted an Infiniti G37. I have always wanted the G37 since I saw the concept, too my eyes it looks pretty and too my opinion it really comes with a lot to offer with great potential, although a little more on the pricier side, it's a sport + luxury car for the bang of your bucks. Already coming from the Infiniti Scene and community and meeting so much people and friends, it was really an encouragement to buy a G37 and start over."

I can understand the secretiveness that 2C has on his offsets and setup. 2C owns the most cleanest G37 by far, hands down. Since he isn't new to the scene, I can bet that we will be seeing more from this Bagged Beast. Thank you 2C and we can't wait to see whats coming next.

I would first like to thank my good friends at Amplified Motorsport for working on the ride and taking care of me on all the mods I got for the car, even now when I own my own business they still lend a hand no matter what, I will always have my respects. Thank you to Corner 3 Garage for the maintenance of my car and also working on it, with them I know my car will work solid. Thank you to R&J Auto&Body for taking care of my paint and body work. I would like to also like to say thank you to my TEAM OUTCAST! Who motivated me and got my back all the way, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them, thank you all. Also Special Thanks to team member, Jon Biu for introducing me into this culture and keeping me focused."

Silver Stance'd Beast

2010-08-02T03:33:00.000-04:00

Rotary powered cars are very controversial. There are people who love rotary motors, there are others who just don't get it. Nate Harris gets it. Nate whips around a Mazda RX-8 around his hometown of Elkin, NC. Perfectly pieced, this RX-8 is sure to turns heads with his brilliant Sun Silver paint, OEM lip kit, and carbon fiber hood and trunk. Fitted with Red Rota Boost's, 18x9 et30 all the way around and a 10mm in the rear to help get that perfect stance, helps ensure this baby will get everyone's attention. To get to its current Stance'd state, Nate tells me he was inspired by a good friend of his.

"I’d have to say my friend Blake (stewie69 on wrongfitmentcrew) is the one person who showed me that if I wanted to get noticed and be known by more than just the local crowd that this was the way to do it. Going for the “flush” look is a lot of work and often a lot of headache, but the end result makes it all worth it to say the least. This is my second feature thus far, with my first coming back in with UrbanFlth, and I know that if I hadn’t taken Blake’s advice I’d still only be known by the guys around town."

"To give this Silver beast that aggressive stance, he opted for Megan Racing Lowering Springs that are modified in the front... for now. "

This Rx-8 definitely has the looks, but Nate wasn't satisfied. He sync'd a K&N Typhoon V1 intake to the rotary motor and also helping it breath even better with a HKS Hi-Flow exhaust. I've seen this car in person and I've heard the tone of it and man oh man, talk about the perfect exhaust tone.

"What is your favorite mod?
My favorite mod thus far would have to be my wheels. When I got them, they were flat black with a red lip. They looked good, but I wanted something different. Now that they’re red, they definitely get a lot more attention. Sometimes, I do get hated on for rocking Advan RG-II knockoffs. But hey, they fit good, they look good, and they weren’t all that expensive. Besides, haters only motivate me to keep doing what I’m doing."

Nate Harris takes alot of pride into his car. His wife is a major support when it comes to modifying his RX-8. I can't wait to see this Silver Beast at the Insane Stance and Offset Round II meet later on this month. Can't wait to see what Nate has in store for us in the future.

"Who’d you like to thank?
I’d like thank my wife, Jennifer, for not only helping me decide on parts and giving her input on what would look the best, but also for showing interest in something that is such a huge hobby of mine. I’d also like to thank the members of (2 ND -2- NO 1) for continuing to rock the club logo and supporting something that means so much to me. And I’d like to thank Blake Minton and the Dirty South Hustle crew for not allowing me to veer away from the stance scene. Thanks for keeping me focused, guys."

What inspired me.

You know, earlier this year I didn't even know what stance was. I didn't understand low offset on wheels and I never knew you could even stretch tires. The first time I had seen a hellaflush/stanced car, I was dumbfounded. It was at the WFC meet at Eurowise Charlotte, NC earlier this year. After that meet, I went home and did my research. I finally went flush about 4 months after that meet and i couldn't be happier. Check it out.

When I think of a TSX,what comes to mind is family car. But not this one. Nigel Kelly owner of this beautifully pieced '04 TSX, knows how to turn heads around his hometown of Decatur,AL. As sick as this TSX is, this is not his first time around the block modifying cars.

"My 1st car was a Honda Del Sol that was stupid slammed w/ 17" Konig Caffeine's then I had a mini-truck & built a few of those... I went back with Honda & couldn't be happier especially now with my car @ its current state !"

Aggressively fitting 18 x 9.5 et15 really sets this TSX apart from the norm. To sicken his stance, he lowered this bad boy on Tein Basics and plans to go even lower. When i asked him what inspired him to get into the flush scene, this was his response.

"I've always been into stance especially when seeing VW's stanced. Today it is all about pushing the limits and that is what I LOVE about the fitment game!"

Fitted on top is a sticker bomb'd Yakima bike rack, which really set this TSX apart from the norm. Also changing his emblems to make it resemble the a Euro Honda Accord does the trick as well. He has the looks, but he also has go-parts to match. Exhaust gases pour into his Topspeed Header, making it's way to a T1r test pipe, then dumping out a Buddy Club Spec 2 replica, giving his car the perfect growl to his taste. Nigel has many more plans in store for us. Seeing the way the car is now, I could only imagine what he has up his sleeve. Good luck to you Nigel and I hope the best for you and the oh-so sick stanced TSX.

"First off I'd like to thank my fiance for helping me decide on different mods & helping me think up all kinds of small but different/unique mods & always being there for me & behind me no matter what, she's the best ever. Second I'd Like to thank Petis on WFC forum for all the wheel/tire fitment help with the TSX. Third I'd like to thank WFC & everyone there being so awesome & their help. I'm so glad that everyone there's so opened minded & all have the same interests with fitment! I'd like to thank Austin Allen & Paul Scud @ Poor Boy Photos for the awesome shots of my car in this feature. Lastly I would like to thank TSXClub & the members over there for all their knowledge of the cl7/cl9 chassis. "

Lexus SC300's are a very versatile type of car. You see them make massive amounts of power. You see them with sick wheel setups. They are oh so beastly when executed with a VIP outlook. Check this video out.

My name is Rett and this will be my first attempt at blogging. Coming from a small town, with a huge import scene, it really wasn't that difficult for me to get into cars. My father was a gearhead and all my cousins growing up were,"Street Racers." After graduating from high-school, i acquired my first car i could call my own; a 2008 Nautical Blue Metallic Scion tC.

"17x9 et17 Drag Dr-31 Gunmetal Wrapped in 215/40/17 Kuhmo Ecsta
Lowered RL coilovers and held by TRD sways"

The modding life for me happened quickly. It started with the basics. Springs, window tint, exhaust, and etc. Then i really got into it after seeing all the plain tC's driving around. I opted for a RS1 full lipkit to set me apart from the others. Complimented with 07 tails, S2000 atenna, and APT foglights.

I was happy with the tC. But after awhile, look got old and boring. I was introduced into the flush scene by a friend who also shared the same passion as myself. We finally realized that, "WOW! So thats what makes a car so much sexier then our cars!" Before you knew it, i had coilovers, low offset and wide wheels. I was doing fender mods including, rolling, pulling and shaving. I worked hard and slaved for weeks. The end result, an I/S/O feature by Anh Tuan and Steve from Team RPM and also an upcoming feature from Urbanflth. Now all i can say is I'm extremely happy... for now...

"WOW! So thats what makes a car so much sexier then our cars!"
