From Family Cruiser to a Fresh Fitted Wagon.

It’s not often that you see a pre mid 90′s Civic now days, but when there are people like MJ who not only keep them alive but make them cleaner and all around better it becomes much more than just a Civic. This is the cleanest Civic Wagon I have seen before and I felt it was necessary to share it with you all.

Deep Dish | Manny’s Stanced 350Z

We’ve all had that car that we just want to go buy and then drive. Not a car to just drive to and from work, school, home, or the mall, but drive to create a connection between yourself and the car. Well what happens when that urge finally dies down a bit, you and the car become rooted with each other, and you start thinking how you can improve on what beauty the factory has already given you? Well ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Manny and his 350z.

Game Changer | Not your typical Galant.

I’m going to be honest, the first time I saw Jigz’s Galant It took me awhile to realize it is in fact a Galant. I couldn’t believe how aggressive it looked and I had never in my life seen a tuned Galant prior to seeing Jigz’s. But let me say this, he has done a phenomenal job making an average car into a Jaw dropping sexy beast. Yep, a sexy beast. I love everything about his Galant, the paint color is perfect- it draws just enough attention for people to look at it and try to figure out what the masterpiece they are looking at is but it doesn’t scream for attention. The fitment, its spot on in my opinion! Just the slightest stretch on the tires makes it fit so well but still keeps its performance since he plans to track this Galant this coming spring.

Heading over to a meet today & we found a nice sized puddle to take a couple snaps in :) I’m sure you’ve seen Marty’s z3 at shows in Norcal and on here before. Don’t miss it, there is going to be more to come from this car in the coming months on CarsxHype.com.

Dion’s Bagged Audi

Title
For our SoCal viewers I’m sure you’ve seen this super seksi bagged A4 from #Bawss_Dion, but up here in Norcal its not often that we get to see super clean bagged cars, we’re about that static lifestyle. With that being said when Dion’s car showed up on our Instagram we had to contact him about a feature! At the time I was down in Socal visiting and I’m so glad I got the chance to shoot this feature! His car is clean and classy, and Dion’s one of the chillest carheads I’ve ever met. Check out his ride!

Levin Notchback AE2k

I recently had the chance to shoot one of the most intriguing cars in the Bay Area. From the outside, it looks like a normal, stanced Toyota Corolla AE86 with the Levin Notchback body. However, under the hood lies one of the most powerful street-legal Honda engines ever made. Yes you read that right, this car is Honda powered, more specifically an F20C out of a 2004 Honda S2000. But other little gems also hide under the hood of this beauty.

Aired Out xB.

Let me start off by saying that Jim’s xB is easily the cleanest and most well built xB’s I’ve seen before. Although he does not believe it is near being complete, it already looks so complete as is. But I cannot wait to see what he has planned for the future! Jim bought this xB brand new with the styling for the car already thought out in his head, and he has worked hard to bring that dream to life!

Stanced WRX Wagon

Its not often that you see wagons, most people would rather just buy a sedan or coupe and be done with it but not Matt. He has always wanted a WRX Wagon and when he finally got the opportunity he picked up this one. He always told his friends in high school if he ever got a Subaru it would be a White WRX Wagon and sure enough he was able to get his dream Subaru. He got the WRX the day after Christmas in 2009 but in the beginning of the summer of 2012 he decided to step things up and he began to freshen it up by completely swapping out all major suspension parts and doing the STI front end conversion with the Cusco lip.

Pic of the Day | Levin AE2k


I recently had the chance to do a photo shoot with this amazing AE2k. An entirely race-stripped interior, Sparco bucket seat for the driver, and an F20c from a 2004 S2000 are just a few of the gems that linger within this beautiful Levin notchback AE86. More photos and the entire spec sheet to be seen in the upcoming feature!

I Haz E85!

Title
With the summer over and cars being stored away for winter. I wanted to bring you a feature I shot back in the prime of the car season. D&M Autosalon’s very own track Evo 9. It is not often that I get to shoot with purpose built track cars, however I couldn’t pass on a chance to shoot with Mike’s beast of an Evo! This car tears it up on the track and if you’re part of the SCCA I’m sure you’ve seen what this car can do. Tuned on e85 this car puts down 465WHP with 443WTQ like a champ.
