This entire royal wedding buzz has me going crazy. Royalty this, royalty that, but what is royalty if you are not rolling around in true VIP fashion? This stunning build by Nax Whitmore is the answer. This is VIP! This is royalty! This is how I’d roll if the world was looking at me. We arrived at the shoot and set up, then Nax told me he was going to air down the car. I was like what? I though he was already aired out… Then he procedded to say, “but just a little cause my lip touches the floor if I go all the way down…” SIK! No stone has been unturned on this most gorgeous peice of art. From 20×10...
An Era Ending

Its sad to say but our culture, due to outside factors, is slowing shrinking. A while back ago news of Signal Auto USA closing its doors and heading back to Japan weighed heavy on my heart. I am thankful that I was able to acquire some Signal Auto pieces for my build and will hold on to...

The Blues Never Looked So Good

My coverage of Jorge Alvarez’s Honda Accord during the v2Lab’s Big Meat did no justice to his build. What you see here is carefully thought out masterpiece. Courtesy of a Megan coilover set up, the set of Vossen CV2’s, which are a crazy 20×10.5 all the way around, fit just right. Some of you may be asking: How does Jorge handle the streets of Miami, on a 245/30 tire set up? Riding static with tuck&poke. I asked him the same thing and his answer came at a time where we are pulling into a steep driveway… …All I heard was the sound of scrapping metal.”Welcome to my world” Jorge...
