Sema: Chevy C10
I love the 67-72 and 73-87 C10 trucks, and I know I’m not alone. Lifted, lowered, rat rod or restored, show or race? Which is best? I’ll let you decide:
Sema: Suit and Tie edition
“VIP” has grown as a style from the days of big black, mostly stock-bodied Japanese sedans slammed on static suspension and big expensive wheels. Nowadays, pretty much any color and any make is fair game, as well as crazy body kits and loud details.
The new, “Imported from Detroit” Chrysler 300C looks natural dropped on flashy wheels.
The new Hyundai Genesis sedan sitting mean in a dark grey is another example of the new VIP.
Another Genesis sedan.
Fitment being on point is still a big part of the VIP trend as demonstrated on this VIP Y50, or Infiniti M45Â as it is more commonly known.
Another Infiniti M45. What are your thoughts on these wheels?
The Lexus LS is a staple of the VIP trend.
A little more traditional style here!
Elvis Skender, founder of Stancenation had his brilliant Lexus LS400 on display in the excellent Toyo Tires Treadpass.
The new Lexus LS.
Dodge Charger Daytona / Plymouth Superbird
Not a vehicle you see modified very often!
Petty colors look good on this Dodge Charger Daytona:
Pro Street with the big and littles wheel and tire combo:
Love the look of the big tires and worn, battle scarred exterior hunkered down:
There are actually a few converted convertible Satellites i believe that have been given the Dodge Charger Daytona treatment:
This thing is so crazy! I’m pretty sure it is a tube frame type vehicle with fiberglass body panels.

Vin Diesel drives this gorgeous machine in the latest Fast and Furious movie:
200mph aerodynamics worked on the superspeedway, so why not the 1/4 mile? Drag prepped chop top Charger Daytona? Yes Please!
Gotta love the Bill Goldberg-Year One Charity Plymouth Superbird! More info:

Another flat black Charger Daytona, prepped for the 1/4 mile too!
Someone should build another one like this Speedster style Dodge Charger Daytona:
Dodge Charger Daytona Breaks Records At Bonneville
In September 1971, NASCAR driver Bobby Isaac took his Daytona Charger to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Isaac broke 28 world speed records, most notably the two-way flying mile speed of 216.946 miles per hour.

Import Alliance Atlanta 4/21/13 v.2: Honda Civics
The bread and butter of any good Import Alliance meet: the Honda Civics!
Clean and simple, a good example of the popular style right now.
Not quite sure why the fender is a different color, but I’m a big fan of color matched wheels!
Another simple Civic: Drop, stylish well fitted wheels, done!
I was digging the front bumper setup on this EG coupe!
Shaved bay, chromed components, white letter tires, and more.. tons of stuff going on here.
Another EG showing how a shaved bay should be done.
Enkei’s new Apache wheel, well represented on this EF hatch.
More on the car this engine bay is attached to coming up soon!
I like this shade of blue, and the BBS RS’s aren’t bad either!
Some nice details on the EK Coupe: 5 lug swap, Prelude wheels (with the rears going the wrong way) Projectors, etc.
Stance done wrong: too much height and needs either more camber or a narrower tire.
Stance done right!
I have a friend who just bought a Civic like this:
Anyone know what wheels are on this super-dumped EK sedan?
Not a fan of the hood bra or front camber, but otherwise really nice!
This thing had some seriously tiny tires on it! I think they were 165/45R15’s!
Yet another example of the less-is-more style.
Mugen edition Civic looking mean!
Look, twins!
I know there’s not much done, but I like how aggressive this one looks, I like the color and it was so clean!
Another set of wheels I can’t identify! Also note the Civic RR style bumper.
The JDM converted rear looks so much better than ours!
K swap and J Line wheels set this Sunburst orange EK off right!
Some like it, some hate it, but either way the Rat look is making an impact on our scene.
Four red EG’s all together.
Lower it! Drag DR27 low offsets on this one too.
It’s amazing what a drop and a good set of wheels will do! Why don’t more people mod beige cars?
Yep. Pennies.
I think this guy had the worst luck of anyone I’d seen at the show. Busted oil pan, cracked wheel, damaged quarter panel, and cracked windshield.
Teal and blue: 1 of a kind.
Okay, maybe 2 of a kind!
XXR 527’s making an appearance on this gunmetal EK.
The stance on this thing is spot on. I love the color, the wheels, the fitment the whole package just works for me.
Steven Campbell, take notes!
White on white Civic peeking out of the line of stanced hellaflush rides!
Got camber?
J lines again!
Gold on black, a timeless combo!
Like K swaps?
Pretty nice tuck going on here!
Much more to come!
BMW E30 M3
BMW M3 on OZ racing wheels:
BMW M3 widebody on color matched wheels:
Liking this color scheme:
BBS RK’s on this E30 M3:
Classic HRE’s work well with the E30 M3’s lines:
White on white, BBS RK’s, factory widebody, what’s not to like?
Black on black with late model wheels:
This thing is sick! Big turbo, enhanced flares,wide 3 piece wheels, custom paint and more!
Note the valve covers, intake manifold and throttle body location. That’s right, it’s packing a Chevy LS series engine!
Rota RB-R’s look awesome with the pumped up fenders!
BBS RS: A timeless classic that works on any euro auto!
A hint of JDM with the carbon hood and Advan RGII:
Not sure what wheels these are, maybe BBS RF?
And now something totally diiferent: A slick shod, drag prepped turbo eqipped race ready E30 M3!
Chevy Luv
How awesome is this Chevy Luv Mud truck?
The thing on the left, looking like a traditional hot rod, is actually a Chevy Luv!
Not really a 4×4 any longer: Pro Street Chevy Luv roasting the tires!
I love how rough and gnarly this thing looks.
From lowered to lifted, the Luv does it all!
Although it seems most are low-riders or Pro Street Chevy Luvs.
Missing something?
Baja style Chevy Luv
Slammed Chevy Luv on Torq Thrusts!
Chevy Luv totin’ two at the dragstrip!
This one has so many cool details. My favorite is the exhaust stacks.
Chrysler 300C
Kicking things off with a VIP style Chrysler 300C on Weds Kranze Bazeria
Next up, a “dub style” variant:
Is there anything that a clean mesh wheel doesn’t look good on?
Marching to the beat of a different drum: A road race prepped Chrysler 300C!
Sometimes VIP can take on  a different look:
Gangster whitewalls on a flat black Chrysler 300C? Oh yeah!
Believe it or not, but this picture is several years old, before many people were really doing anything with this platform.
How about that fitment? Hellaflush Chrysler 300C!
Two tone working well on this one:
This is proof-positive that ANYTHING can be fast, even a gigantic luxo-barge can pull tires with enough power and grip!
How the Japanese do Chrysler 300C:
SRT-10 Ram wheels on this Chrysler 300C:
Slammed Chrysler 300C:

First Gen Ford Focus, silver:
Let’s start off with a rear wheel drive swapped 5.4L powered version:
There was never a sedan SVT Focus, but that didn’t stop one guy from doing it:
5 lug swap with BBS RE on Ford Focus:
