Robbie Effron from South Florida drives this slammed 2010 Dodge Charger R/T. Robbie's goal for this ride was to be different; he was tired of seeing Chargers with chrome 22's and was inspired to create something unique.
Taking just over a year to build, Robbie has successfully accomplished created a unique asset to the Charger community. Facing everything from lack of time to lack of financial resources, Robbie finally progressed to the completion of the vision he had for the car.
Robbie does not currently have any future builds in mind, but does plan to continue to add to the Charger to make it the best it can be. Future plans for the Charger are cams, headers, and interior work, such as a new steering wheel and wrapped headliner. Robbie is even considering a supercharger. Perhaps, he may eventually get a chance to own and modify his dream car, a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T.
Special thanks to: Sound Blazers, Elite Roads, and After Hours MOPAR Performance for all the great work they did on the car.

All the way from Tampa, FL, we bring you a double-feature! Alex Laverde is the proud owner of this 2001 Acura Integra and 2004 Honda Ruckus.
Alex is the original owner of the Integra and has operated on this beauty several times. Installing 3 different nitrous kits, 2 turbo manifolds, and a handful of intakes and exhausts, his work has been beautifully executed. Alex took his inspiration for the Integra and invested in building the Ruckus identically over a course of 4 months. His favorite sites for parts are Honda-Tech.com Market Place and Totalruckus.com Grand Bazaar.
From the beginning, Alex faced obstacles - even while purchasing his Integra. When arriving to the dealership, it seemed like he had arrived at the only dealership where a group of salesmen weren't waiting for him. Finally, a sales representative saw the look on Alex's face when he was viewing the Integra and sealed the deal.
Alex plans to freshen up the interior of his Integra and install a brake kit, bigger cams, and shoot for 500hp.
Alex's dream car is a 1963 Chevy Impala with an Ls1 motor. He was always around low riders growing up, but never had the opportunity to own and build his own. Alex hopes that his dreams will become reality and a 1963 Impala will be his next build.

Get ready to switch your gears and rev your engines! This is one for the books!
Ron Marchini all the way from Clearwater, FL has been working on this one-of-a-kind 2000 Acura NSX for two years. His main focus was to build a functional car that he could take to the tracks to compete with newer sportscars, all while maintaining show quality.
When Ron originally purchased the car in Rhode Island, the Comptech supercharger already installed made one unforgettable ride back to Florida. Ron added CCW Classics, worked on improving the horsepower, Brembo brakes, and Comptech suspension; recent upgrades include a new front lip from Shine. Ron also plans to get a TypeR hood to boost the downforce and widen the front fenders. Ron Marchini spent a lot of time, money, and effort as he pushed to get the results he was looking for. His most used site for parts during this build was Science of Speed. And, with an exquisite outcome like this, it's no wonder Ron doesn't intend on building anything else in the near future.
Dream Car and Why?: "The LFA, because I think it represents the best car that Japan has to offer...just like in 1991 when the NSX was released."

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?

The time finally came for Hot Import Nights to roll around to the amazing city of Miami! On September 29, 2012, the StanceMiami team attended HIN to bring our supporters the best coverage of the night. Thousands of people attended this event and it definitely did not disappoint. Before entering through the doors of the Miami Convention Center, you could feel the suspense of what was to come. Intense, upbeat music and shiny, fresh wheels proved you were in the right place. With all the cars in the showroom looking their best, the bar was set high for all the competition titles. With HIN's venue going to 15 states all over the US, this show had Miami's presence written all over it. Slammed, Tucked, or Flushed, Miami's cars are simply show-stopping. All the car enthusiasts I had the opportunity to speak with all agreed that they enjoyed the simple fact that there was so much variety at this event. From old school Datsun's to the amazing GT-R Godzilla, HIN turned out to be an awesome experience. We hope you all enjoy.
