I’ve recently relocated from Raleigh, NC to BFE (Bum F*ck Egypt) about 30 mins outside of Wilmington, NC and was extremely bored. I ventured out into Wilmington, NC to see what’s up with the car scene there so, I decided to hit up Jason Bond (drives a pretty slammed Accord coupe) to see what’s he up to. Luckily, he said, “I’m ’bout to meet up with my boys and do a quick photo shoot.” I said f*ck it why not and see what was going down. Meet up with the guys at Patrick Curley’s crib and I saw his 2010 VW GTI slamm’d in his driveway along with the rest of his crew, Static Soldiers.

Pat is rollin’ on Toms Designs C7-9 (by Rays Wheels) 17×9 +30 up front, 17×9 +25 on the rear, giving it a more aggressive push with a 10mm spacer. He daily drives his MK6 dump’d on B&G RS2 coilovers, I got to give him props because roads in Wilmington are pretty sh!tty, makes you want to pucker up your butth*le every time you drive over the pot holes and even dodging them doesn’t help because they’re everywhere.

Pat kept it simple with painted OEM lower valance, OEM lip spoiler, LED DRLs, and 8k HID fog lights.

 ”Shout outs to Static Soldiers, Shannon at Carolina Tint for this graphics, and everyone who supported me. Stay static, Stay Scrapin’.” – Patrick Curley

Recently we received an email from one of our supporters out of Lynwood, Washington and my mouth dropped to the ground when I saw it. Vitaliy Semenyuk’s e46 M3 is nothing less than sexy as f*ck, aggressively fitted VMR VB3S wheels dialing in at 19×9 +22 up front with a 15mm spacer and 19×10 +25 on the rear with a 30mm spacer. E46 M3 by far is still one of my favorite body style, aggressive body line but still not over the top. Vitaliy is rockin’ a full Agency Power exhaust system and is in the process of installing Active Autowerke’s stage 1 supercharger. Aesthetically sexy plus performance equals full of win!

As you can see the wheel fitment on Vitaliy is on point! Ride height is perfectly adjusted on Megan Racing Euro Coilovers, simple exterior mods such as CSL front bumper with a one piece carbon fiber front lip and a CSL rear diffuser.

Props to James Austin for these sick ass shots!

              Sometimes common interests such as cars will bring people together to create a very unique bond, people with same interest, taste in modification and common goals. A family of friends that come together as one, hanging out, helping each other out, and going to events with one another makes you feel like a close tight family outside of your own. Xclusiv:Alliance are a group of guys we had met at our ISOxSWD: Japan Disaster relief, where they had drove down 6+ hours through pouring rain to attend to our meet. We felt appreciative of the dedication these guys have made to attend our event. Still today we have never met such a dedicate group who are motivated to attend car events up and down the East Coast. We had reunited with these guys again at Import Alliance in Baltimore in Sept ’11. Xclusiv:Alliance ranges cars from time attack style to VIP style to Euro, nonetheless all of their cars are built with taste and style. These guys are located in the DC/VA/MD area. Cars isn’t their only niche, 4MationMedia/TofuWreck are the media group, droppin’ some sick media coverages. You can find their videos on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/danielphan) and (http://vimeo.com/twreckfilm).

Back in September when we all united for Import Alliance in Baltimore, Xclusiv:Alliance welcomed us the day before with a chill BBQ at the park. Much love to these humble guys, see you guys in 2012.

A clean and simple Lexus SC300 are hard to come across these days, especially when the car was introduced to the US in 1992.  Not the case with Andrey Sokolov, I’ve met him personally this year at SumoSpeed’s event during the Spring.  Andrey is a very cool guy, quiet, and humble; I walked outside of the hotel to check out his car and I was amazed how clean his 1993 Lexus SC was.  Andrey is rollin’ on BBS replica wheels and dump’d on UAS Bags on Megan LP Coilovers, utilizing dual Air Zenith compressors to inflate those bad boys up when he needs to.  He also upgraded his SC with 97′ foglights, tail lights, door moldings and front grill. Givin’ his car a more aggressive look, he also installed a Shine Auto Project body kit, and coated his car with fresh Black Cherry candy paint over  Copper Metallic Basecoat. Inside his SC, you’ll see the custom two-tone katzkin interior also, custom Lextech soft white LED gauge cluster, and a Kenwood Double-din to accommodate his ears during long trips. Hope to see you again soon buddy!

Dare to be different, dare to take on the criticism, dare to stand out from the rest. Nathan Benton, serving in the United States Marines, has taken the challenge to modify a 2009 Chevy Cobalt, meeting both worlds “Form and Functionality.” Mr. Benton installed a Injen charge pipe connected to his Hahn front mount intercooler, out the other end to his Borg Warner K04 that’s delivering 22psi! Tuned by his buddy Matt Welliver, who decided to throw an AEM Water/Meth Injection kit system to keep it safe. Nate dumped his Cobalt on Stance GR+, rollin’ on Varrstoen es2.2.2 18×9.5 +30s, wrapped in Nitto NT555 for some grip. Powell goodies were also added to his mod list like Powell rear sway bars and Powell harness bar. We like to thank Nathan Benton for driving 2.5 hours for us to shoot his car and Russell Sellos for dope pictures. Curious to know when Russell is in your town shooting? Check him at RSellos Photography!

“Not all wheels are recreated equal…”  is what their motto at ISS Forged. True and bold statement, various choices of elaborate designs but also high quality craftsmanship utilizes aerospace components to design their wheels. Janoy Fuentes at ISS Forged is the owner of this aggressively stanc’d Evo X. Representin’ and rollin’ on ISS Forged FS-20 in custom bronze pearl finish,  aggressively fittin’ 20×11 front and rear. Janoy dump’d his Evo X on Tein Monoflex, also equipp’d with Tein EDFC, tweakin’ his dampenin’ for his ride comfort. Mr. Fuentes didn’t stop after adding on suspension and wheels,  he also decided to add a couple of power adders. Janoy installed a Greddy downpipe, matched with a Greddy TI-C turbo-back exhaust system. He also made sure the transmission will hold up the extra power by installing a Exedy Stage 2 clutch and flywheel, to keep constant boost pressure he installed a set of Injen hard pipe kit. A 75-shot Nitrious Express was also added on in case he wanted the extra kick for his joy ride.  Inside the Evo X, Janoy is secured by a set of Takata Harnesses with a Sparco Seat harness bar. If you ask me 20×11′s on a Evo X is pretty damn aggressive… Be sure to check out their wheel collection at http://www.issforged.com/home.html.

ISO : Stance Nation Chill n’ Grill Coverage by Derek Bryant. We would like to thank all of our Fans, Supporters and friends for making this meet a success!!!

Sometimes in life simplicity is the easiest way to go and can take you to another level. Lukasz Zawistowski, owner of this clean s2k, took that route when he modified his Honda s2000. So simple as slamm’d on Megan Racing track edition coilovers, rockin’ ap1 oem front lip. Luckasz option’d to roll on CCW Classic Street versions 17×9 +25 up front, and 17×10 +15, with extensive fender modifications to make them fit his s2000. Like I said it’s simple, slamm’d and clean as F*ck!!!
