My car is painted a 2010 Infinity color. Stock body, maybe you was expecting a body kit?
Anyways, I think the real issue is my body lines actually line up, I don't have cambered out wheels, my engine bay is the same color as my car. That's not the s*** that sells these days I suppose. I have a buddy that shoots for S3 and Honda-Tuning, we've talked about doing a photo shoot of my car. I doubt I even submit to another magazine really. I honestly don't want in a magazine for the "street cred" or whatever, I just want the cool plaque so I can hang it in my kids room.
Llike I said, congrats to your buddy Patrick. I have the magazine here and read the article. I know what it's like trying to reach a goal over years.
