Sheldon Tran from Broward County, FL is your typical car enthusiast who just can't get enough. His beautiful 2001 Honda S2000 has been through many up and downs to get where she is today.
Spending 2 years investing in his build, Sheldon was initially inspired by the Spoon Sports S2000 and originally aimed toward the hellaflush scene. Now, Sheldon is on his 20th set of wheels and hopes to be on the track very soon!
Sheldon's favorite sites for parts and inspiration are S2KI, GoTuning, and Evasive. Although Sheldon's dream cars are an NSX or Supra, he does have it in mind to build a VIP Lexus; perhaps his next build?

Miguel's AWD GS

Miguel Morales, from Miami, FL, always had a vision for the 2006 Lexus GS300 AWD. Ever since he laid eyes on this model, all he could see was potential and the mods his hands couldn’t wait to get to work on.
When Miguel finally got the keys in his hands, his vision started to flow. Within two weeks, he already had the windows tinted, installed HIDs, vent visors, and a roof rack. Talk about getting down to business, but Miguel wouldn’t stop there!
Over the course of 9 months, Miguel worked hard to create his vision for a daily driver that would turn heads. He added a lip kit and coilovers, but the hardest decision was the type of rims. Miguel wanted an aggressive and unique look and had to pick just the right set of rims to carry his vision. Finally, he found the perfect set of Varrstoens.
Overall, Miguel’s build was simply following where his vision was leading, but I think we can all relate, at least in some way, to Miguel’s obstacle of financing his build. There is always a bigger, better, sleeker part to order, install, and customize. But thanks to www.l-tunedparts.com, his friends at Rodspeed, ClubLexus forums, Lexus Boys, Gloss house, and his lovely girlfriend, the vision came to life.
Dream Car: Miguel’s dream car is a Porsche Panamera Turbo because “It's the complete package with looks and performance.” However, he plans to get to work on a 4th Gen Supra after finishing his Lexus. Future modifications to look forward to include a Fujita Short Ram Intake, Tanabe Medalion Touring Cat Back Exhaust System, Invidia Midpipe, and Artisan Spirits GS Front Grille.

Less is More.

If you have ever envisioned yourself owning a Lexus, this is a car that will show you how it's done. Kevin Josephs from West Palm Beach brings us this 2011 Lexus IS250 F-Sport. When you see this car you will truly admire the fact that less is more.
Having a passion for cars since he was young, Josephs purchased his first car at 16. This is where the extensive list started.
"My first few cars were civics and then I moved on to BMW, Nissan, Acura and now Lexus. This being my 11th car, I bought the F-sport with the intention to keep it factory, maybe just a mild drop since it already came with some pretty nice oem wheels."
Like anyone else, Josephs began modding and within a year and a half, his IS250 was looking flawless.
"I love my car and wouldn't have it any other way. I like to keep my car clean and simple and don't want to over do it."
Kevin also states that his future plans would include an Invidia mid pipe and eventually upgrade to a Lexus oem bbk.
We are most certainly not complaining with how this car is looking now, yet we'll be anxiously waiting to see the future mods completed. Enjoy this beautiful and classy Lex we had the opportunity to feature!
Modifications:
- Vossen CV7 wheels, 20x9 20x10.5
- Akata wheel spacers
- Tires; 225/30/20 & 255/30/20
- Megan Racing coilovers
- F-Sport intake
- Greddy Spectrum Elite exhaust
- Oem gfx sides
- Oem gfx rear lip,
- Jdm roof spoiler,
- JLC led interior lighting,
- 6000k HID low beams and fogs.
Shout Outs:
Lexusboys 2LiveIS crew, ClubLexus forums, Vossen Wheels and My lovely fiance.
How long did it take you to build your ride
? 1.5 years
Dream Car and why?
Porsche Panamera Turbo, performance and style at its best.
What was your inspiration for this build?
Building a daily driver that turns heads and still functional, staying clean and simple is why my friends call me SimpleKev
And future builds you have in mind? I really like the scion fr-s and the Fiat 500, but maybe after the wedding :)

We bring you this sweet IS350 from JR Panganiban of North Miami. When JR was shopping to replace his E46 M3, he just wanted a sedan that was Japanese(reliable), automatic (so his family can drive, if needed), and something that already looks sexy stock. But, like everyone else, the mod bug bit him and he could not stop modding. Since he started he had only one goal in mind, and that was to use nothing but JDM parts on this car. He wanted to put his own twist on modding, making it sporty while keeping it classy (SportyVIP.)
JR says,"This car doesn't have many performance parts available so there is nothing much I can really do. However, I want to go on air someday. In 2 years of ownership I feel like I have done a lot and I don't want to go too far, as I don't want to get bored with this car. I love this car."

To BJ at VividRacing for always hooking me up. Sewell for the great pricing on all my Lexus OEM parts. To Kevis and the guys at StanceMiami for the amazing shoot.
