Import Faceoff 2009 x Texas is Way Too Hot.

Texas is way too hot, even for an immigrant kid from Vietnam. It was about 110 degrees during this show and I thought working in those Nike sweatshops back in the homeland prepared me for this, but I was wrong. After about half an hour of shooting, sweat started dripping down my forehead and into my eyes. I just noticed my last two posts have been complaining about this heat lol.  Anyways, onto the photos:

IMG_2909My long time buddy from middle school Lucius has certainly stepped his game up. He went from catching rides from his sister to this beautiful IS-F sitting on some Modulare wheels. This car is proper business.

One of the NextStage NSXs. I like how you can barely see the kevlar at the bottom of the bumper. It is little touches like this that make a car.

Kimo’s fresh new paint. This car has come a very long way and has been through so many stages. I am really digging the C-West front bumper splashed in this extra loud paint. I still hate eyebrows though, no matter what.

Not sure whose car this is but it has decent parts. Those Starks look tiny on the car due to all this low offset madness that the west coast guys are doing. To think that a couple of years ago, +35 was considered a low offset for a FF Honda. Crazy.

Mr. Doh’s ultra clean coupe from Team 5 Star. This car is a great example of quality parts executed correctly. Sometimes, certain cars have all these rare parts but it just doesn’t flow well together. This is not one of those times.

As always, you can find all 30 or so photos on my flickr
