FFP Video Shoot Behind the Scenes at the Shoot Photography by Oliver Ledesma As many of you know, this week was Art Basel Miami and our friends over at FFP [Fuck Fake Parts] were having a video shoot in the graffiti covered streets of downtown. They invited State of Stance down to take a peek so State of Stance photographer Oliver Ledesma jumped in his S2000 and headed down to grab some behind the scenes snaps. The location and timing of this shoot did a great job of engulfing the Miami underground style. The art filled walls, the rattle cans littering the sidewalks, and the beautiful ladies [Stephanie Suarez and Devin Navarro] that added...

Words by: Leo Diaz Photos by: Nick Mendoza We were lucky enough to be invited to the private premier of the upcoming and highly anticipated Forza 4.

Don’t worry; you’ll be able to import your Forza 3 profile, allowing you the ability to transfer certain credits and gifted cars from your garage. Of course the catch is that the amount allowed is based on how long you...

Upping your STÄTUS
posted by Leo Diaz
If you’re into building cars and into driving cars, then you know how important the proper seat it. It is the only thing that truly connects the driver to the car. While building my car I was given the opportunity to install a seat from STÄTUS, courtesy of Flat6 Motorworks. The seat, a STÄTUS Ring GT in black leather with a carbon fiber shell, was fitted with a 6-point harness with a cam lock system; also from STÄTUS. The thing about this seat is the details. From the soft, touchable leather down to the stitching; not a single detail was overlooked. The leather outer grabs the carbon fiber shell as if the two are one....
