Alex Pintado from Boca Raton, FL is the proud owner of this 1993 Nissan 240sx.
Pintado has had this car for 4 years, only making the significant changes this year. He drives his inspiration from years of watching YouTube Japanese street drifting. This is only the beginning for Pintado, though; the build has just begun.
Reflecting back on his biggest milestone, Pintado never thought he’d see a fresh coat of paint on this car. He spent 4 years driving a flat, spray-painted 240sx and had almost given up on ever seeing her with a bit of color. His heart nearly dropped when he got to see the newly painted car for the first time. Next stop? Pintado has his heart ready to drop once more for an SR20 engine swap.
While we have all been there, done that, Pintado deals with the all too familiar struggle to stretch his dollar to perfect his 21 year-old car. He says, “Paint might be nice, but it still leaks when it rains!”
Special Thanks/Shout Outs: “Would like to thank my wonderful fiancé, for her support and helping me when my car was down, and whatever else i put her through. I couldn’t have done it without her. I’d also like to thank my friends for pushing me to things I never thought I’d do.”

Reppin' Miami hard, Canmar Reba built this 2013 Lexus ES 350 in just 1 year. His inspiration and motivation to build so cleanly and quickly are due to the anxiousness to be the first ever to build a clean, fitted ES 350.
Like all of us, he experienced a number of obstacles, but of them all, Canmar quickly learned that "cheap isn't the way to go!" His favorite site for parts, ideas, and inspiration is ClubLexus.com. He has spent countless hours investing in the end result we admire today, but it isn't the last of his plans! In the future, Canmar is looking to get a widebody kit and concave (with lip) wheels. The rest? Canmar prefers to keep that on the downlow and keep you anxious for more. This is his dream car and he wouldn't have it any other way.
Canmar would like to thank/shout out: "my Team (Simplicity Crew) for all the support, Alejandro from Torn Assembly for doing the amazing job in building my wheels, suspension and more, and would also like to thank Kenny from Camsauto for the amazing work on tires, alignment and fitment. Last, but not least, my man Mathew from on point pictures for the amazing work with on all my photoshoots!"

- 20 inch GFG 3 piece wheels wrapped with Dunlop tires
- d2 air suspension
- (2) 12 kickers amplified with a 2600 Hifonics amp

Adam Pascual from Miami, FL is the proud owner of this 2005 Acura Tsx. It took Adam about 3 months to completely finish his project, and completed it with a set of CCW Im5ts and Airtekk air suspension, a cI9 Honda grill, and an Aspec front lip.
Adam has always admired the Tsx and dreamed of getting a 4 door to experiment with. After finally finishing this project, Adam can look back and say he didn't face any major obstacles during his build, but is looking forward to possibly modifying the interior to black and giving it a VIP style, adding navigation, a euro r grill, and new headlights. His favorite places for inspiration and parts are Craigslist, Stance Works, and Tsxclub.
Dream car: Although his dream car is a Henessey Venom GT
Currently playing in Adam's headphones: Rich Friday by French Montana
Adam would like to say a special thanks to Onpoint Pictures (Matt Gomez), Crystal love, Jezsiel Rodriguez, and Silvio de la Nuez.
