Theme Tuesday: Rig shots

September 7, 2010 | 4 Comments | BMW, Blog Finds, Honda, Lexus, Makes, Mazda, Message Board Finds, Mopar, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota

A couple weeks ago, in the “Rolling Shots Part 2” Theme Tuesday I made mention of the fact I was working on an all rig shot themed post.

After searching a few forums I have come up with the following collection of photos. You will probably notice that many share the same watermark and that’s because those who take rig shots well take them often.

Rig shots are an art that I do not see myself mastering any time soon so big, big props to all of the photographers as these are awesome shots.

Still have love for the GC chassis

City lights

Wonder if this was taken on a beach?

Shout out to those brave enough to rock CF lips

A little game of cat and mouse

A lot of Subarus today, I know

Clean lookin e46 enjoying a quiet road

Nice lookin ti

I'll take both

Makes me miss my e30

Mmm more e46 love

Man when was the last time I posted a Viper?

Not often you see a straight on rig shot

Ste takes great rig shots

One of the only guys I know doing drift rig shots.

Wow this car is clean

M3.

This is slammed.

LOL

Expect this to be a reoccurring theme.

Theme Tuesdays: Muscle

July 27, 2010 | 8 Comments | Chevy, Ford, Mopar, Theme Tuesdays

I’m in a gas wasting, deafening exhaust, bend the ground with torque type of mood today and the only cure for that is a lot of pictures of Muscle cars.

Hope you don’t mind.

Dude's got a killer hat on

That's a lot of forced induction

Well that's a handful

Gnarly tuck front and rear

The Muscle car of my generation, love the distinctive 5.0 sound

Beautiful stance

Nice backdrop as well

Chevelles are one my my girlfriends favorite cars

If she had one like this I would steal the keys

Muscle cars really look great murdered out

Another murdered out example

CCWs killing it again

Pretty sure the biggest wheels I have seen on an older Mustang

Nothing wrong with some new age muscle

This may or may not have started as a Falcon, either way looks tough

No body kitted 4th gen here

Another Camaro for good measure

OMG

Back to training for me.

Event Coverage: Scrape By The Lake Part 3

July 22, 2010 | 3 Comments | BMW, Cadillac, Chevy, Dropped, Event Coverage, Ford, Honda, Makes, Mazda, Mopar, Nissan, Pontiac, volkswagen

The third and final part of the automotive coverage from Scrape By The Lake are the type of cars you would expect at your average car show.

Actually if you think about it this section was the size or a normal car show making Scrape kind of like three car shows in one…

Anyway, quite a few unique rides here as well.

Random stuff

Stickers, bikes, whatever

I think anyone with a bags are for groceries sticker at Scrape got hurt

Amazing, and true

The car the sticker above was on

This made me chuckle

This US Army truck was pretty cool I must say

Salute to any who has enlisted in any sort of military, get back safe

Bagged Saturn Ion? That's a new one to me

Hardcore show cars

Going all out for trophies

So... on to the next one?

I see this car all the time at shows, but only just noticed the tv

I think this started as a Honda, at one point, maybe?

This car is always changing but I think the blower is new

Smart move with the tent this year as the weather was iffy at points

Chevy/BMW

Odd pairing but I have one shot of each brand…

Nice looking Cobalt SS. These > Cavaliers

One of the handful of BMWs that were at scrape

Division R

Sam and a few other guys from Division R made the trek to Scrape

Sam has done a few things since his feature the new hood I noticed right away

and this sticker was also new to me

Division R's Jetta on Keskins

Ford

Boosted Probe

Erock from Nine O Five rides brought his fitted Probe out

I can't recall the last SVT Contour I've seen, and this is no doubt the lowest

Mazda’s

Exclusive Tire's Mazda 3

Rare to see an MX-6 done so well

RX-8 on Gramlights

Fun looking boosted Miata

Honda/Acura

Dudes from New York love this paint effect, they are the only guys I ever see with it

I took a picture of this car at T.A.S.R but this one is a little better

Nice, clean, mostly original RHD CRX

K swapped CRX

Repping for Street Outlawz

I had never seen this kit before, from what I am told it's 12pcs and very rare

Clean looking shaved bay

Under hood close up showing the charger and home made dampener

Classics and Muscle

1/4 mile demon

Patina done perfect

Beautiful

Dirty Lincoln

Nice Impala with a more modern approach

I will never get sick of this front end

Amazing Caddy

When I saw the Chevy on the valve cover I was ready to scream sacrilege

Then I took a closer look and I was ok with it, bet she moves

Event Coverage: Scrape By The Lake 2010 Part 2

July 21, 2010 | 4 Comments | Bagged, Chevy, Datsun, Dropped, Event Coverage, Mazda, Mopar, Nissan

Part 2 of the multi-part Scrape By The Lake coverage is all about the trucks. I was really impressed at the trucks that came out this year and last year. The trucks I saw last year had new mods and the new trucks I saw this year were crazy.

If you like your trucks low this post is for you.

Under Construction

Some of these trucks have a lot of work ahead of them but look like they are going to be really nice when finished.

This should look really sick once it's all buttoned up

Not sure what the plans are for the hood of this Toyota

Nissan, Datsun, Mazda, Dodge

Import trucks are sort of the oddballs of the mini truck crowd, and the Dakota was the only Dodge I recall seeing.

Clean bagged Datsun

Green Mazda with a sick bed and caddy light conversion

A bagged Dakota? That's a new one

Insanely low body dropped Nissan

This was really hard to capture but there is a ghost tribal effect on the cover

Ford’s

Piss on Chevy

Crazy huge f350

Candy anyone?

Ya, I'd rock this

My friend Matt's Ranger which took home third in it's class

It looks like the pin stripe continues into the engine bay to some degree, which is a nice touch

Chevy’s

Piss on Ford

This 84 SS is in great shape

It's not often you see a 4 door 1st gen at a show

Body dropped s10 laying rocker

This Blazer turned a lot of heads, its drastically different than how they start out

I still love this front end

A Luv! Let's keep this away from Xzibit

Beautifully dropped late gen

2nd gen with a clean Hyrdualic set up

This truck was very clean

This raised floor almost looks like a bed full of water it's so smooth

Nice Siera

I should check in the the LCC guys, have not been on that board in awhile

This would make a great daily, or tow pig, clean, factory wheels, slammed

Another long time LCC member

Nice airbrushing on the hood very subtle

My, my thats high

The International

I had been told about this truck before I saw it and even still I was blown away, it’s simply awesome to see something this big laid right out.

On the damn ground.

Tucking and clean

I really hope someone produces video of this dragging

Check back tomorrow for the cars and the bikini contest.

Event Coverage: Summer Sizzle 2

June 3, 2010 | 11 Comments | Audi, BMW, Bagged, Dropped, Event Coverage, Featured, Honda, Lexus, Mopar, Pontiac, Subaru, Toyota

Last Sunday I attended Summer Sizzle 2 put on by Pur Secretz at Vonn Cycle, and even though the calendar had yet to tick over to ‘Summer’ it was sizzling out.

The show had a pretty big turnout and a lot going on (especially for a free show) so I was there for quite awhile between walking around and shooting the breeze in the shade.

Ruff Ryders’

The Ruff Ryders anthem came out in 1998, which means that it’s 12 years old now. I had no idea people were still reppin’ the crew though.

Double R!

This dude was reppin

As was the owner of this wagon

Euro

Surprisingly small European turn out at Summer Sizzle few guys held it down though.

The second local e46 I have seen on Volks

Dope, clean Audi

Got a few more pictures of this A3 coming soon

This CF wrapped TT caused a stir when it rolled up

Porsche

One from the old school one from the new school

The front is popped for the ICE setup if you were wondering

I would love to have this in my garage

Mazdas’

A lot of the local Mazda community came out to this show, some to hang out and some to compete. Almost everyone competing had switched things up since the last time I had seen them.

Ryan changed the vinyl on his car from last week

I still want a speed.

Shout out to all the Mazda5 lovers

Mike was in the house with his RX-8 on works

Hyundai/Toyota/Nissan/Lexus/Infiniti/Subaru

Imports that were not Hondas…

The best looking Matrix I have seen in the GTA

This G35 had quite the set up going on, concourse level of clean

Under hood shot of the same car

Genesis are on the come up

More of this car coming as well

Sic Ryde had his Lex out

After winning lowest static the day before

MR-2 on Advans, I heard he won his class

Krystn put some work into her STI

Domestic

This thing was massive, note the stacks

Bagged J body

Full trunk setup

With some boost

Another show style J body

With a super charger, wonder which of these to J's is faster?

Custom painted 300c

The first G8 I've seen modified

Looks pretty damn good I must say

Acura/Honda

Some of the Honda lineup

Swing up doors...

Tidy lookin Acura

This might have been a Viper color, looks really close if not

More Advans, this time on a turbo RSX, dig the color matching

Cool to see one of these at a show, they are scarce in these parts with quarters intact

I wouldn't mind seeing more people play with this color

This purple Civic looked pretty good on e30 basket weaves

NSX with lots of Carbon fiber

Front could come down some

Shame it's auto

This civc was all function and gets nothing but love

Model

There was a Bikini car was at the show but it was out in the direct sun, shooting pictures of this model from the shade was much easier later in the day.

Leaning into Gary's widebody e46

Ruff Ryders wag getting some model love

If you are reading this that Pontiac is supercharged and bagged

That’s it for Summer Sizzle, many more events to come this summer, I might end up with Event Coverage every week…

WTF Friday: Cars on truck frames

January 8, 2010 | 4 Comments | Benz, Chevy, Lifted, Mazda, Mopar, Porsche, Toyota, WTF Fridays

Awhile back I saw some wild lifted cars on the Outlaw videos site (which was linked to on the cardomain blog) and they amused me so I saved the pictures. I know lifted cars are nothing new but sometimes you have to wonder if they are worth the effort involved. Either way over the past few months I came across these pretty often so I figure WTF Friday was a way better way than Theme Tuesday to share them.

Before lift pretty mundane

Chick Magnet!

Crazy thing is at least 3 of these exsit.

Lol at the window being the oh shit handle

This is my least fav Camaro gen anyway

This photo is titled Carbage, kind of fitting

Just the good ol boys, never meanin no harm

1.21 gigawatts?!

This one actually looks kinda fun like it could do wheelies

Wow I think I've seen it all

No now I have seen it all...

Site Updates

I sent out quite a few back logged stickers this from the Christmas giveaway and I still have one or two more sets that I will ship out on Monday. I plan on (finally) setting up a sticker page this weekend to make ordering a lot easier and it will also serve as a place for me to post up new designs as well.

I’ve also made a few small changes to the design and layout of the site over the past few weeks minor things like moving blog rolls around and making the footer not quite as deep, these changes will continue over the next little bit with a big one happening soonish so stay tuned for that. Won’t be a drastic functionality change or anything just cool looking.

Have a safe weekend and if you don’t already keep track of my antics on twitter.

On a boat

November 22, 2009 | No Comments | Bagged, Dropped, Mopar

Before emissions tests and the fear that we were going to run out of gas in the foreseeable future cars were big, very big, land yachts in fact. While today large cars seem to be slowly but surely becoming a thing of the past some cars are still big enough to be considered new age boats. 300c’s are one of these cars, compared to most cars on the road today they are pretty big, big enough to attract attention in stock trim but once slammed they demand it.

Today’s Sunday quick post is a a few 300c’s I had in my collection.

Not only is this 300 super slammed check out the dish on the front and the rear

Fenders layin nicely on those fat lips

VIP'd out nothing but dish

Once again fender meets lip

While balling rims are nice this SRT proves they are not always necessary

Tuckin rim

This car is probably my favorite of the bunch

That Neon

November 12, 2009 | 14 Comments | Message Board Finds, Mopar

That Neon I posted in the “Working with what what you’ve got post” is pretty sick, but I wasn’t sure if y’all would appreciate a post dedicated to it’s a first generation Neon. However I noticed yesterday that reader Cody Ace was interested in seeing more photos of it, and since I aim to please I decided to throw up the 3 additional photos I have of the car.

Dumped with no skirts or lip kit in sight

Tripodding

Good to see the owner is putting something new under the hood

The pic that peaked everyone

If anyone can forward a little more information on this Neon it would be greatly appreciated. These are the only pics I’ve found and I am pretty sure I spotted them on bikeguide.org

Theme Tuesdays: It’s Murder

September 29, 2009 | No Comments | Chevy, Dropped, Ford, Lamborghini, Message Board Finds, Mopar, Nissan, Subaru, Theme Tuesdays

The concept of theme Tuesdays here on Stance Is Everything is simple, every Tuesday I pick a theme and post a collection of vehicles with that theme that meet the stance criteria (modified suspension that fit the vehicles overall theme). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: Murdered out rides

Dan’s GLX got me thinking that I love black on black or “Murdered Out” rides. I came sort of close with my truck but I never got to do the look the full justice it deserves, all of today’s cars however have this look down to a tee.
