On the Run: Tee’s Executive Mercedes S550

If you remember a couple a weeks ago MaydayGarage had featured an Audi A4 that belonged to a gent by the name of Ty Nguyen.   When we first shot the A4, Ty asked us if we wanted to take a look at his friends slammed Mercedes.  Now the first thing that comes to mind when someone tells us that they have a slammed Mercedes is some gaudy big body with rims from the back of a DUB catalog and super tacky feel. Luckily for us, this wasn’t the case, because when this big body car pulled up;  A tuner had gotten a hold of this Merc. S550 and we knew this guy had some good taste.

Dallas, TX: Stance of the Union Pt. 2

Wow, what a weekend. Just got done looking and semi-editing the photos I took from Stance of the Union held at Cobb Tuning in Plano, TX. The meet had a great atmosphere with music being spun by a local DJ (sorry, I forgot who it was!), and everyone actually walking around and mingling with others as they share wheel specs, suspension settings, or just giving props. Much nicer than people who just sit in a chair by their cars and watch people who look at their car. Such a positive enviroment!

Houston: Texas VIP Style movement

At a recent car show I attended, I spotted this G35 that I had to take pictures of. TunerlifestyleTV hosted this show and of all the cars at the show, there was one team that stood out from the rest, Refined Elegance. For those of you outside of Houston, Refined Elegance is a local group of luxury-minded enthusiasts who show hard with their VIP-inspired rides.

Funny how many people from different states think that only Cali knows how to build VIP styled cars. Not true. A perfect example is Zeem's (aka KalvinMaui) 2007 Infiniti G35 sedan. The car was originally black, but an intricate color change to a very cool Lexus IS350 Glacier Frost Mica brings out all of the smooth flowing lines of the G35. The car is slammed thanks to the air ride and compliments the Leon Hardiritts perfectly. The rear fenders were subtly widened to accommodate the larger wheels without any issues.
This car is an awesome of example of planning and execution done right.

OTWeb: Sessions Aristo

Old news, but this Sessions Aristor is timeless, in fact, I think I need to store all of the past badassery that people have posted up for records. If anyone has the red interior pictures of this car, please pass them my way, it would be greatly appreciated :)

The pictures are courtesy of some random Japanese guy/girl in Japan. This car is raw, always has been, always will be.
