Doing something a little different mainly because I had the opportunity to while borrowing Corey’s F1.4mm lens – taking detail shots. Sure lots of people want to see the cars and the girls, but sometimes the details are overlooked. Details are what each owner focuses on when getting ready for a show – that speck of dirt by the lug nut? I better get rid of it before the whole damn crowd sees it. That little scuff on the bottom of the sideskirt? I better buff that out before people point it out. The truth of it all is that while the little details might not stand out to everyone walking about, they stand out like a sore thumb to the owners.

At the end of the day, details are details – I took a few shots of them… I wish I had the time and energy to walk around and take a bunch outside the illmotion booth but I didn’t…

Last post for driven! It’s been fun!

Up close of Gopesh’s BBS’s and his gold hardware and new red centercap.

Nick’s Advan GT’s with engraved spoke.

Punit’s new copper wheels tucked under the fender oh-so-perfectly.

Who doesn’t love smooth, clear headlights?

That smooth black.

A decal I asked Bill to cut for me a day before the show. The original design didn’t go as planned because it was too thin, but hopefully I’ll have something worked out soon.

Not a speck of dust.

Last one of my heap lol

Ricky’s SSR’s and the spectrum silver finish. Unfortunately they didn’t get to shine as bright as they could indoors, but look carefully and you’ll taste the rainbow.

Derrick’s Integra

Miracle X bar in the back

Trung’s Voltex S2000 and fresh Porsche GT3RS grey paint.

His Mugen Recaro seats inside. Insert money bag emoticon here.

Mike’s RX7 and the candy red paint with Car Shop Glow lights.

Noel’s 240 on WORK VS-KF’s

Up close of Donovan’s bronze/bronze WORK Meister S1 3PC

Phil’s carbon flared AE86

Errol’s bronze TE37’s. Timeless color.

Benjamin’s Voltex wing

Dat ass from out back.

Benjamin’s bagged and boosted TSX

Alex’s CE28’s paired with Project Mu BBK

Mugen equipped everything in Alex’s Integra

The first row line up.

Not sure if this is a detail but Punit has no chill.

WORK x VOLK

JC’s VIP’d Out table equipped with Sake, Pocky and 50ct diamonds.

Diamonds are foreverrrrrrr

Last part of this Driven coverage will be with Donna Pham! Stay tuned!

Part 2 – on a roll!

An RSX from Winnipeg – gold faced VS-XX’s, and titanium hardware in the engine bay… I may or may not be wrong – but is this the owner of TiBurnt?

A “Tron” styled Lambo

ZR Auto’s booth. It was caged off and that’s usually a turn off for me when taking pics so I didn’t get much out of that booth…

Daniel’s super clean E55. This thing is immaculate – loved this look on WEDS wheels.

Crazy paint job. Not my thing, but cool nonetheless.

Brett’s bagged Cadillac CTS-V. It’s no slouch either…

A VW beetle on it’s own turf – this also one an award for best individual display. Well deserved.

One more of Brett’s CTS-V laid out.

Charlie’s freshly wrapped Supra in white on his new Work Meister S1’s.

This finish was interesting – it had an almost bubbly look – not sure if it was intended or whatnot – I assume it’s a wrap because I didn’t inspect any closer.

Over in the bag barn area… Crazy dumped trucks. Loved this one – cool to see at each show.

Mike’s static Ghia – looking good as always.

Again – I don’t know their real name – social media ruins us for this – but @mushroom_curry’s awesome VR6 on BBS’s

Jesse’s Passat looking awesome as well.

This was one of the cars that was at the VW show a few weeks back. Never saw the tank set up until the show.

Super cool look in the back. Also lol @ the sticker on his window.

A cool camo-themed B7

Super clean Porsche. Reminded me of JM Yang’s recent RWB Medusa build in its earlier stages.

A super cool “work in progress” the DUB Dynasty guys brought in… Going to be having a Subie swap soon and the finish will remain as is.

One more shot.

Cool bagged Impreza in the bag barn booth

A super mint Accord wagon. Everything was open so it didn’t make for a good picture…

Jimmy’s 240Z looking shiny as always in the VEX booth.

Giuseppe’s Skyline in the VEX booth – never get tired of this thing.

A wild GS with an LS swap.

Ray’s STI on Work Meister M1R’s

Ryan’s MR2 – another timeless build.

Another of Jimmy’s cars – his new M3 – you’ll probably recognize it from the shoot I did a few weeks prior as well.

My favourite car in the show was Autodream’s freshly built Rocket Bunny RX-7. There’s way too many RB FR-S’s and not enough of these. This was super nice. Love how wide it is.

One more shot. A better view of the rear quarter.

Beside the RX7 was a wild 240. The color scheme worked well – always a fan of green/black.

And another with a gold/black theme.

Simple matte white 350z on some deep dish.

A very nice midnight purple 240. Paint was immaculate – part of the beyond booth as well. Bravo.

Golf R also with legit society on WORK VS-XX’s

Another clean EP3 – rare to see these nowadays.

Back at the booth – Rich spinning some beats. Just to be clear – he takes requests, but if you request Clarity by Zedd, he will ignore you. (It’s quite sad, actually)

Back end of Nick’s GTR

The Compact Tuning Lab booth with the star players up front, it seems.

Awesome bagged GTI on BBS’s

Terence’s boosted BRZ – I shot this last year, you may recall.

I didn’t forget about this – another clean build from legit society was this 1/4 carbon’d STI hatch on S1R’s and new edirb seats.

A lambo in the beyond booth.

Shelton’s C63 AMG Black Series in matte black.

Don’s Golf R on Rotiform NUE’s.

Another from the ZR Auto booth – matte black Ferrari F40

A GT3RS

A few more shots of the RB RX7 – couldn’t get enough.

And one more – Deep dish VS-XX’s paired with 326 Power spike lug nuts. IMO these lugs only look good on deep dished wheels. If your lugs stick out further than your wheels, we have a problem.

Part 2 done! The rest that are coming your way will be detail shots and of course – a full set of Donna Pham with the cars of the illmotion booth!
