It's the week before a big meet... you have a list of things you still need to get done on the car, you're hoping everything comes together the way you have imagined it, and your checking the weather every day hoping it doesn't rain!
I'm sure we've all been through this before... well my goal was to get my stance dialed in on my Si for the 3rd annual East Coast Honda meet in Richmond, VA. I had been to the meet the past two years and it has only gotten bigger and bigger, and this years event would be the first big event where most of us at Canibeat could all chill together, setup a booth, and bring our own cars out! Well as always it came down to the wire but I finally got everything done the day before the meet! Worried about rain all week with every weatherman calling for rain and thunderstorms we couldn't have asked for a better day... sticking with tradition for this meet it was HOT as hell and by some miracle the rain missed Richmond and the meet was larger then ever!
Justin from Special Agency's S2k behind the CiB booth!
A nice shot of my stance all dialed in for the meet
Roy's FNO1-RC's now white with more stretch and more low
And the man behind it all... Marcus Hyde's EJ on a fresh set of CCW Classics
My CCW LM20's with 24k Gold hardware
I LOVED this RL on AME Shallen WX's! Simple but sooo clean!
And Cristian's new Tracer Tech 2's that he debuted at this meet!
RedRocket's EM1 on some CCW LM16's this season
Our homies from
Eat Sleep Race made it out and did not dissapoint with their 2JZ IS
A full shot of Roy's EP
I'll be the first to admit I was a bit skeptical about how these wheels would look on Cristian's EP but I think he nailed it with the Tracers!
The e46 that we
featured previously rolled through and stopped by the booth for a fresh red/chrome box logo, thanks for the support man!...oh, and look at that camber!
BIG thanks to the Special Agency crew for everything!
Our friend and fellow photographer Sean Bradford's new EM1!
CD Accord with a nice set of Polished Jline SDM-Sl2's
Perhaps one of the cleanest cars of the meet was this classic Civic hidden in one of the far parking lots of the meet! I always think its cool to see old and new at events like this...
Another favorite from the meet was this turbo s2k on Brushed Gold CCW LM20's
And probably the biggest surprise of the meet for me was this black Del Sol damn near perfect fitment AND it was from Jersey! I didn't get to meet the owner but I'd love to meet up and do a full shoot of this car!
After the meet the Special Agency guys were nice enough to have us over for a BBQ at Aaron's place! The guys rollin' up...
I loved this view from the backyard...
Steve's IS and my SI... photos do not do Steve's car justice! Definitely more to come on his car...
Chillin after a looong HOT day...
And last but not least Roy pullin' out for our drive back to NoVA!
