Dropped

I've got a serious amount of photos from Tuners Against Street Racing to sort through and I knew I wasn't going to have them edited and posted before I left for work today so for this Monday morning I thought I would share what a local, female, BBS/Euro/Slam lover has been doing with her set of custom 17X9 et 20 and 17X10.5 et 28 pink BBS RS wheels. The final destination of these wheels was an e46 but they made a few different stops along the way...

Apologies are in order for the horribly cliche title, but I never thought I would ever find myself willingly posting pictures of a Geo Storm. I've got respect for people who work with what they've got and make use of and oddball platform and this Storm fits the bill. I can't recall the last time I saw one of these in person and this one is without a doubt the best I have ever seen.

Hyundai surprised a lot of people when they released the Genesis being a company with no prior sports car platform to speak of unless you make the stretch to include the Tiburon. In 2009 it was tough to say how the car would do in regards to initial sales and aftermarket acceptance/support, however about a year or so after initial release it's fairly safe to say that the Genesis has been well received.

Toronto has it's share of clean EK's and here is another one I happened to come across on a local message board.

It's about time I made good on my promise to do an e36 ti Theme Tuesday. While not for everyone (they took awhile to grow on me) with a fairly easy motor swap or the addition of some forced induction the e36ti can become quite the little monster. With the right aesthetic mods they don't look to bad either since they are really just a smooshed e36.

With all of cars lately that have sticker covered body panels, roof racks full of whatever, rust, crazy paint and extreme amounts of stretch and poke I think sometimes people over look how great a car can look with clean paint, the right wheels and perfect stance. Julian's wagon has been one of my favorite Subaru's since the first time he sent me pictures of it, his show room clean paint, and dialed ride height allowed him to rock stock rims better than damn near anyone else and I now that he has retired his stock wheels in favor of Work 11R in 17x9 wheels his car has never looked better.

It’s been quite awhile since I last featured a photographer here on Stance Is Everything so I am very happy to be able to showcase this photographer’s work today. Matt Berenz hails from the Durham region and rolls with The Scraped Crusaders, which means that he never has to look far for a clean dropped ride to shoot, but Matt talents are not restricted only to automotive photography. His natural gift allows him to shoot a number of different subjects with ease and he is also very capable videographer as well.

Mr. Borges dropped me a line recently to let me know that his V.I.P. IS300 build is moving forward full steam ahead. If you remember last we left this build the car was looking pretty stock and he had a pile of parts sitting in his basement waiting to go on. Fast forward to today and we will find that most of the parts have made their way onto his ride. Let's take a look at what's been done.

I've always liked VW Corrados, probably because I like Sciroccos quite a bit as well and they share a similar feel. While their reliability might be up for question but their ability to look good dumped on a clean set of rims isn't. It's a damn shame that they came fwd as a sliding Corrado would be a treat.

Last Sunday I decided to treat my dad to a classic car show for Fathers day and with the 'Classics Against Cancer' show being the same day I figured it was meant to be, unfortunately even though the show was scheduled until 4 a lot of the cars started rolling out at 3:30. While I was quite disappointed my dad seemed to enjoy the show regardless of the fact lot of cars had already left. Since a lot of the cars were gone by the time we arrived today's coverage is a little different than my normal fare but if you like anything on wheels you will enjoy.

Shortly after I spotted this A3 at Summer Sizzle 2 the owner, Pedro, shot me an email with photos illustrating the transformation it's gone through since he has owned it. Much like his fellow Division R members Mike and Sam Pedro's car is clean and to the point. No outrageous paint jobs or body kits to be found in these ranks.

I have always loved good graffiti, not crudely draw penises and crappy tags, but large murals full of vibrant color and intricate designs. When I look at these pieces I wonder how much time goes into them and how they evolve. It's probably very similar to building car, some artists go in with an end goal in mind while others just wing it and see where they end up. Maybe this is why cars and murals seem to go together so well, thankfully Toronto has lots of great murals which more often than not they can serve as an awesome backdrop for great looking cars. Which they have done today for a pair of Subarus.
