NRTG 2KIII | Orlando

posted by

NRTG 2KIII Orlando Photography by Mike Alvarado The NuroTag series made its second stop of the season in Orlando, FL this past weekend. People from all across the southeast region flocked to downtown Orlando to participate in the gathering of masses. The organizers of the event took over the University of Central Florida Arena and crammed as many diverse cars as they could into the structure. Walking into the show meant you were bombarded with a combination of vehicles that is hard to find anywhere else. Japanese, American and European littered the lot and the streets for a unique combination of Street, Show and Speed. Nurotag is...

Small World, Big Build

posted by

Small World, Big Build Photography and words by Nelson Queralta My photographic collaborations here at State of Stance usually come as assignments. When shooting a feature I initially see the car, then start to get an idea on where I want to shoot it. At the same time I get in contact with the owner, which most of the time I end up meeting for the first time the day of the shoot. Car owners are awesome; they’re always willing to help so the shoot goes smoothly, whether it’s driving to a remote location or moving the car around multiple times to get the right angle. Knowing this, I always plan everything out before so I can be the...

Flash Forward through his line-up of vehicles and we land on his current project, a 1998 Infitini Q45. Like every other car build, this...

Don’t be a Square | Nissan Cube

posted by

Don’t be a Square The Finest Cube Words by Emil Garcia Photography by Pablo Rodriguez Ever feel that sometimes life can be a little… square? This is exactly how Jose Perez Felt when he started building his 2010 Nissan Cube.  Coming from the tropical island paradise of Puerto Rico, Jose was a local in the car scene. He started off on his Cubed journey two years ago with purchase of the car. Soon after the build bug bit him and a slew of parts began to surface on the car. The car is lowered on KSport Kontrol Pro with Rotiform TMB (f/ 18×9.5 +25 r/ 18×10 +25) on every corner wrapped in Nankang Rubbers. Outside the Car...
