So you think you can STANCE coverage…

“So you think you can STANCE” Not sure how I came up with that one to be honest. I might have been on the toilet where I do most of my clever thinking… Actually it was at the past years Eibach meet when I noticed everyone loved to watch people roll in over their driveway cause it’s moderately steep so I figure why not make it a competition and throw the stance community a bone. Not too many car shows or events have really catered to the “stance” movement so I thought, here’s their chance! I honestly didn’t know how the event would turn out and got a few mixed opinions but for the most part they were positive. And I mean what’s the worst that could happen other than someone tearing their shit up. I wasn’t looking for a big turn out because I mainly wanted this competition to be something we uploaded on YouTube and Vimeo so I only needed a few spectators to add the oooh’s and aaaah’s as cars competed. Well, the event page blew up and what looked like might be a small event blew up so I had to move the venue to a bigger spot for fears of getting shut down by the Garden Grove PD. And I want to apologize to any vendor or media that was not cordially invited as this event was originally going to be at a smaller location and had no room for vendors and I didn’t want to ask all this media to come out to an event of which I had no idea what the turn out would be. Luckily it was really good and there are now plans for a 2nd competition which will probably be titled “Dirty Stancing” lol… And we will be upping the anty. I guess the driveway at Trendy Threadz was a bit too easy. Don’t have a date yet as we’re looking for a new location but it will probably take place during the summer after our 2 year anniversary event.

So there most likely wont be coverage of our own event as I think most of our staff was busy doing event stuff… but we are working on the video and it should be posted soon… hopefully. Luckily There are a lot of sites that have event coverage and vids up on youtube which we’ll list at the end of this post.

Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2012

Words and photos by Gilbert for Its JDM Yo!!!

So Tony and I decided to make the trip out to Las Vegas this year for the Consumer Electronics Show (also known as CES International) 2012. The venue was at the Las Vegas Convention Center and had tons of people attending and the from everywhere.  We were lucky because somehow, when we were parking, we managed to run in to Mike from Prestige Marketing and decided to kinda hang out at the show with him.  First things first, of course we went to find the models we happen to know.

We happened to find Natalia Marie first and asked to take a few shots.

Then we went to the Extreme booth and found Michelle & Nikita Esco chillin’.

Wandering a few steps away, we found this girl who they called “Yoo-Lee Mai”

and to round out the first day we met up with Xena and Kai.

The second day I spent the majority of my time looking at interesting booths and ogling the Canon display that they laid out. Played with a bunch of lenses that I won’t be able in this life time but I also tried out some that I was interested in buying sometime in the future as well.  Also, Julie looks great after a night of hanging out and waking up early to finish up the show.

After the end of the CES show, we decided to bring the Savini Lamborghini out to the rooftops to take a couple shots.
