2013 Lexus IS F with Volk G25 Wheels

If you haven’t seen the 2013 Lexus IS F, you’re missing out! This thing is the assassin of competing cars. Engineered by what Lexus calls, “Rogue” Engineers, they were on a mission to not only make a dominate machine, but to make a car that would impress even the most critical of enthusiasts. Raised at the Fuji International Speedway, this animal had to adapt to the harsh turns and telling straightaways. For that the creators equipped this brainchild with a 5.0-Liter V8 engine producing 416 horsepower. Those straightaways will be no issue, the IS F can do 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. Beyond the power, the keys to racing are the suspension and brake system. So why not add some track tuned suspension and Brembo Brakes to prepare this car for whatever conditions it faces. If you’ve ever had doubts about Lexus as a performance car, think twice!

Our sales guy Ahmed (ahmed@vividracing.com ext. 231) was fortunate enough to get to work with a customer that has Lexus’s latest creation. What can you add to this car that will not only make it unique, but match the performance standards? A new set of wheels! This particular customer went with some G25′s wrapped in Michelin tires, and man, do they look sweet! Tell us what you think of the setup on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Stunning Fully Modded MKVI Jetta

We haven’t blogged about a VW for a while and they are an icon in the tuner society, so this post from Canibeat is perfect to pay homage to the staple tuner. VW has a more classic stigma surrounding it, therefore this VW owner wanted to keep the class of his new  MKVI Jetta on point with the VW heritage. The MK1′s and MK2′s were staples in their own respect, but VW raised the bar again with the latest version. The first difference you notice are the beautiful lines in the new design. From there Ryan Beards makes it his own version of the MKVI. Some of the stand out pieces are the STÄTUS Ring GT Racing Seats with black Ultrasuede and carbon fiber backing. The other standout feature is the Nardi wood steering wheel. Here’s a list of mods he added to make this classy monster his own. Thanks Canibeat for the great write up on this timeless VW.

East Coast Evo gets Fitted

The Evo X has been one the most popular tuner cars to hit the market in years. Between the EVO X, FRS, and WRX, the tuner market has seen some crazy mods and even crazier photoshoots. With everyone becoming a photographer thanks to Instagram and other social platforms, we get to see these amazing cars posing in their element. This EVO X can go from being the car next door, to an eye piece in time square. To upgrade the already stellar look, this customer worked with our sales guy Dado (dado@vividracing.com ext. 236). To give this car the aggressive edge it was looking for, they went with a set of flush Work Meister M1R wheels in Platinum Gold. These Golden M1R’s are set at an aggressive 18×10.5 +15 in the front and 18×10.5 +12 in the back.

Porsche 991 Poses for Niche Ad

Niche was looking for a sexy, sleek car to feature in their ad in the Excellence Magazine.We hooked them up with one of our friends down in So Cal who hooked them up with this breathtaking Porsche 911 Carrera S 991. They used the 991 to feature their latest Monotec design, the T70 Stüttgart wheels. This 991 is sitting on 21×9′s in the front and 22×12′s in the rear, weighing in at 10.3kg. and 12.5kg. respectively. The wheels were finished with hi-luster polished windows and a brushed face. Weight reducing pockets were cut into the backpad as well as our signature undercut spokes seen below.
