Canibeat's photographer Anthony Lezada ventured out to shoot this Bagged WRX owned by Ryan from Northern California. Read More

Some thick fog rolled through my area and after not being able to access a few locations I wanted to shoot at, I settled for this cemetery location nearby my house. The silence of a winter morning, thick fog, and atmosphere of the location made it pretty creepy.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of flying down from Washington, DC to the sunshine state for Simply Clean 4 in Daytona. 2012 marked the fourth year the guys from Simply Clean have been putting on their event and the first year it has been held at Destination Daytona. Prior to this weekend I had never been to anything car related in Florida and I will say that it exceeded my expectations heavily. Dan and the guys over at Complete Custom Wheels (CCW) hosted this years pre-meet at their facility in Daytona and I made it a priority to be there while I was in town. Read More

For the third year in a row, our annual First Class Fitment meet at Princeton Airport has been a successful bookend to the East Coast show circuit. The event is organized as an invitational showcase for the best examples of the fitment scene on this side of the Mississippi, and the key draw for this show has always been a concentrated diversity that simply doesn't exist in other events. First Class Fitment is a manifestation of Canibeat's commitment to bringing our readers the largest variety of cars in our community crammed into a single day of food, music, friends, and feature-worthy cars Read More

Wherever there are enthusiasts, there are bound to be discussions. From weekly car meets to Facebook groups to big shows, differing opinions are going to be presented and sometimes they may clash. Some debates are serious while others are a bit more light-hearted but either way, they happen and that’s what makes our scene so great: diversity. One of the hottest topics of the last couple years has been the infamous “function vs form” debate, which always sparks some very interesting points of view. The function crowd argues that form cars can’t be driven like they should while the form guys point out the fact that function cars spend more time in the shop than on the street and when they do run, they should lower it and get some 3 piece wheels.

Aftermarket automotive culture has never really been a place that catered to the fairer sex. From late nights spent in a dusty garage working with dirty tools while beer-swigging bros tell even dirtier jokes, to the meets and shows that cater to base masculine desires with scantily-clad models and greasy food.

This past weekend on our way up to north we attended Tuner Evolution 2012. The show is held every year in York, PA at a unique venue; a baseball stadium! The environment at this one is so laid back, and the quality is top notch too. This was also our first show we had a booth at! We were selling promotional stickers, had a TV displaying our films, and basically getting exposure! Thanks to everyone that stopped by and thanks to Jay for making it possible. Epic Weekend of the East was made possible by Tuner Evolution and Weksos having events in the same weekend, with great support from Fresh Meet, Canibeat, JDM Chicago, Tjin Edition Road Show, Autolife Tour. Jay and everyone at Tuner Evolution would like to dedicate all of their hard work for 2012 to Justin Wales of York, PA who passed away the same day of the show. RIP.

Daily driven 300 plus miles a week and still kept fresh? Stephen Burke is doing something right. His 2005 Subaru STI was too good to pass up during our weekend out at Welcome to Atlanta and Import Alliance. The aggressive fitment paired with the flawless body shocked me when I learned this was no garage queen. Read More

In recent years, the aggressive fitment/stance scene has infected car enthusiasts all over the word in an overwhelming fashion. We have seen this trend explode in North America, Europe, and Japan, while other regions are catching up rapidly: Austrailia, Thailand, even Korea. However, today we are introducing something completely new to us, the Chinese scene.  Read More
