If pictures are worth a thousand words, then a video must be worth a million. Although I gave a pretty intense coverage of H2O, I know I didn’t catch everything. And video always gives a better feel of the weekend. BsaintMedia always does great coverage of the weekend so I figure I post this one up.

Enjoy!

Ok back with the final part of my first class fitment coverage. I left off randomly in the middle of the show, so I’ll pick up right where I left off.

A pair of really nice Miata’s.

Beautiful beautiful color combination. I love when people paint 3 piece wheels in one color.

Absolutely love everything about this hatch. Beautiful color and fitment of the Works.

Saw this Benz in the same exact spot as last year, rotting away. What a shame!

Unique Auto member Eddie’s super slammed Fit. Can’t wait to see what is coming next year.

UA’s Rob from VRaceworks couple. This thing looked SWEET. Too bad he wasn’t in the “main” parking area.

Interesting TC stanced on CCW’s and rocking a semi shaved bay and turbo.

Making the best of a bad situation. This made me laugh.

Ah man, something about stretched and dropped bikes that go so well with stanced cars.

This was around the end of the show. First thing to point out was the camera equipment some guys brought out. I mean it looked like some dudes were filming full motion features.lol Second, at this point everyone, including us, when on a complete photo shoot rampage. I mean I’m sure every single car in the show got a chance at doing a shoot in the airport. You really can’t blame anyone. The place, light, and sky was absolutely perfect.

One of the first I caught. The E38 was literally centimeters from the wing.

Yet another photo shoot going on.

First up from us was Ray and Alex of UA. Next up was the members that attended that day.

I really love how some of these shots came out.

Next up was the two GT-R’s that attended the show. When you think about it, it’s pretty crazy seeing two modded GT-R’s together.

Then Gabe gave me the idea of snapping my own car.

More GT-R love.

While Eddie was getting his own personal shoot, the rest of the team decided to do another shoot.

As you can see we tried to do every combination of shot possible lol.

Jess’ beautiful hatch.

Ray of UA’s S2000

I think I’ll close up my coverage with a shot of the Liberty VIP shoot that was going down right before we left.

Like every year, this show is always epic. Hope to see everyone next year.

The fall is here and I know, when the cold weather comes First Class Fitment is around the corner. With a pre-registration you know when you attend, your going to see nothing but quality. One of the better shows of the year, taking place in an airport, it is a prime spot for epic pictures. The first part is going to solely consist of the car show. But since we did a bunch of photo shoots afterwards, that is what the second part going to consist of.

I, unfortunately didn’t make it into the show. It was upsetting, but I sure as hell was motivated to build something better for next year. Saw some nice gems in the parking lot.

Really loving the Rotiform NUE’s on MK4’s.

The A3 with the super huge turbo R32 swap.

A couple VIP’s that I’ve seen in the past couple import shows.

Took a pic of this nice Legacy because the driver was really cute lol.

Fell in love with this Passat wagon bagged on Rotiforms.

Interesting 4-door Civic on RS’.

A S15 I was very close to buying. Not sure I like the new wheel selection.

Some E30 love.

Beautiful MK4 bagged with a re-trimmed MK5 interior.

Saaaaaaburu love with Corvette wheels.

Another car I fell in love with was this clean NB on BBS RS’.

Ken from STNRL taking about 3 hours to put up the banner.

Going down to the “main” show area, this was the first thing that caught my eye. Didn’t get to see it up close during H2O. Really love how the Diamond steelies look on it.

THE nicest Supra I’ve seen in person. The paint was absolutely flawless and the engine bay was done to perfection.

RSX to die for. Perfect stance.

BMW 318Ti. Huge soft spot for these cars. Love love love.

Yep, dude decided to work on his plane during the show. Coolest thing ever. Still wondering if the two mini’s were his.

Widebody MK5. Dope!

Another car I didn’t get to see up close during H2O. Flawless 300ZX on CCW’s.

Really digging the X5 wheels. A lot of quality work in this car.

A little R/C drift action.

Slammed Forester. Sweet!

 

 

I seriously am in love with this Accord bagged on CCW’s. (assuming it’s bagged of course)

This 350Z Nismo seriously does not get old.

Luis from Unique Auto and his Jetta sitting on Image wheels.

Once again, love this Lotus.

This Q45 was so bad ass! Air ride, Work wheels, and a JZ motor to top it off. Damn!

Jess’ of UA’s pride and  joy. Still think it’s the best built EK hatch on the east coast.

My favorite car from the show. The amount of time it must have taken to do a full tuck and shave on that motor. Dedication that really payed off. Beautiful job.

Three great looking cars.

Yep, that’s a 2JZ is a RX-7. Props for  being different.

My favorite car in the whole world currently is this E38 on 19inch OZ Futura’s.

This E38 is really dope too. Only thing it is missing is a front lip.

I love when normally ugly cars are stanced out like this. Crazy fitment. Reminds me of the VIP that comes out of japan. Peep the license plate.

UA’s very own Alex with his pimp GTR. Always a pleasure seeing this car.

Very sad story behind this F50. The owner passed away before he could see his absolutely beautiful Infiniti done. Huge props to Liberty VIP for bringing the car out in remembrance of his. RIP homie.

A pretty crappy shot of UA member Ray S2000 perfection. As you can see the whole crew was scattered throughout the show.

Loved this Jetta wagon. Another dub on X5 wheels. Yet again, looked really good. Great color choice.

Another really cool looking plane.

This Infiniti was dope. Quality work and really really low.

The nicest M45 I’ve seen sitting next to the nicest Odyssey I’ve seen.

I think I’m going to end part one here. As you can see this show is FULL of dope shizz.

Ok, I promise this is the last video for today. I always love when a video of a custom motorcycle shop is made. The creations they make are real pieces of art. It’s always cool to see who is behind the action. These bikes are to die for.

HEAVY Sunday

Hard-Parked is a perfect name for this crew. Not only do their cars look great “parked” but they go HARD! This video is pretty boss. I always think how it word be to drive a car that low, static, in the five boroughs. Huge props to these guys. They build some sick rides.

Isle of Man TT

I apologize for the lack of posts this weekend. Very busy with First Class Fitment and family. I randomly came across this video of Isle of Man TT and was completely shocked. This by far had the most “action” from the race I’ve seen. My respect for these riders has gone way up. It takes so much guts and bravery to race this Island. These guys are my hero’s. The video gets fairly graphic, so if you don’t want to see guys get hurt, don’t watch it. I really hope no one was killing in this vid.

A Love Affair

The song speaks volumes about these cars and the people involved in creating them. The first thing that comes to my mind is, beauty. There simply aren’t many cars that look as good as these. If you haven’t been following RWB they recently created a shop in Thailand and as you can see, just finished their second RWB car. Both of which had the personal Nakai-san touch. Nakai-san is actually in the US RWB shop working on the first US RWB 964. That is dedication to the fullest. Having a hand in EVERY creation. Props to one of the greater builders of our generation.

Another really random post, but I came across this picture and had to share. I’m not even sure if it’s a photoshop or not but if it’s real, it’s pretty damn epic. Mad props to these guys. They have skill!

EPIC BACKFLIP!!!!
