We bring you coverage from our very own StanceMiami Meet. Held at EliteRoads in Fort Lauderdale on May 4th 2013, the StanceMiami Meet was our first of many events that we plan on doing. This event included food trucks, $40 alignment specials, live DJ, giveaways, etc. We expected to fill the EliteRoads property with cars, but about  2 weeks before the event we realized it was going to be way bigger than we anticipated as people from all over south Florida showed interest in attending. We ended up packing the parking lot, and 3-4 blocks in every direction around EliteRoads with hundred of cars and thousands of people. I've been told by many that this is maybe one of the biggest meets held in Florida. There was great diversity in the cars that came out from rat rods, euros, jdm, domestics, exotics, rucks, and everything in between. Also, we had lots of good, quality builds out there. We are so thrilled it was a huge success and want to give shout outs to our sponsors/partners/vendors who came out to support. Vossen Wheels, Signature Customs Wraps, K3Projekt, Underground Euros, Ibe Stamped, Dipworks Inc., Rodspeed, XO Luxury, Ruff Racing Alloy Wheels. Last but not least huge shout out to EliteRoads for helping us host our first event. Don't worry, we have something else in the works...stay tuned and thank you all for your continued support. Video coverage COMING SOON...

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."

Lady Driven

Photographers: Rondon Rigues, Kevis Mulchan Writer: Ariel Mulchan

There’s nothing like a new set of wheels! That’s exactly what Simone Brown from Margate, Florida thought when she got her hands on a brand new 2013 Nissan Sentra SR.

Inspiration for the build started to flow when Simone began seeing all of the FortuneMinds  cars and immediately wanted in. Not taking no for an answer, she began to plan her build. As a brand new model, parts for this Sentra were not readily available, forcing Simone to get creative. Simone spent her time wisely, ordering parts and customizing the build even before she had the keys.

After a month of being immersed in researching ideas to perfect this beauty, Simone’s ride was finally complete. As a classy and sleek final product, it just goes to show you, there’s nothing like that of a woman’s work.

Mods in Detail:

• M45 projectors retro fitted in OEM Headlights(The first and Only Sentra in the States with them)
• 8k H.I.Ds
• V-line front lip
• OEM polish Nissan door sills
• OEM Nissan puddle lights kit
• OEM interior accent lighting kit
• 370z exhaust tip
• Mild rear fender pull

Wheel/Suspension Setup:

• 20" Lipps rims painted candy pink
• Maya outers
• Custom Hello Kitty center caps
• Nissan Sylphy Megan springs

Shout Outs: Nax Whitmore, FortuneMinds, EmeraldPerformance, Slammered Inc.

Dream Car and Why?: I like big body cars, like the 2013 LS460 F (speed and luxury, and it just looks mean).

HIN Miami 2012 Coverage

Photographers: StanceMiami(Kevis Mulchan) Writer: Krystal Gonzalez Editor: Ariel Mulchan

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.

PART1 NDIMA Coverage Sept.16th, 2012

Photographer: Sons of Creativity

Welcome to Stance Miami. NDIMA (National Domestic Import Motorsports Association) held this full day event on Sunday September 16th, 2012 at the Palm Beach International Raceway in Jupiter, Florida. It was a day full of domestic and import vehicles coming together to battle on the track and in show. Even though there were passing showers and storms at times, racers and fans showed up and supported from all over the state of Florida and beyond. Also, special guest Don Omar was present on the track taking his car down the strip. We are excited to see what the folks at NDIMA have planned for the next one. Want to give a special thanks to our friends at Sons of Creativity. Enjoy the photos and leave some love at the bottom of the coverage page.

Part 2 will be up soon, stay tuned. If you were at the event and did not see your car, maybe it will be in Part 2.

Not only does this week's car have flawless looks, but also impressive power under the hood to say the least. This car is definitely worth putting time, money, and hard work into, which is exactly what Juan Razuri from Pembroke Pines, FL has done. Razuri's '08 Infiniti G37S took about four months to build.

"I wanted something elegant, classy, and aggressive at the same time. It's a car that would satisfy any car enthusiast because of the way it looks, the way it drives, and the different ideas that can be applied to its model."

 With so many options these days, deciding which route to take for customizing your car is always something to think twice about. Nissan's luxury brand does not disappoint when it comes to giving you a perfect canvas to paint. Razuri noted that with the color and body style of this car, he had to be very careful in what parts and modifications to go chose.

"We had many options for the car....It was a whole process when it came to the point of making the final decision."

This feature not only brings you a well-done build, but the presence of professionalism is very present in this car. RodSpeed was a huge part in the making of it, and we really enjoyed featuring this car.We will first show you a photo of the car when it was a blank canvas.  We hope you all enjoy it!

Shout Out:RodSpeed as my main automotive shop and Rodrigo Leguizamon (Main Owner) for building my car and giving a new and unique style to it. Ideas, concepts, and details were given from the shop and that was very helpful in the process of building the whole car.

In the Wild

Written: Krystal Gonzalez                        Photographers: StanceMiami 

  These days, we've come to expect a lot from Infiniti. At the time of its debut, the G35's refined styling and sporty performance made a loud statement. With such an aggressive look and power to back it up, this car is well-respected no matter where you go. When owner's put time, money, and love into their cars, the results are always evident. That's why this G35 brings you ferocity and stamina with a touch of stance.

    Felipe Marques from Weston, FL bought this '05 6 speed G35 coupe back in 2010. Before making the purchase, Marques had overlooked this particular car several times. Fate had its way and, after several attempts of denying this particular G, Felipe became it's new rightful owner. One month later, the modifications had begun.

   Getting accustomed to the "low-life", Marques quotes, "First week with my car lowered and fenders rolled, I went to a meet in Miami, and my car got completely stuck in the middle of the road."

   Two years later, every obstacle was overcome; this build was finally getting the attention it deserved. With many personal touches and mag Fiji blue wheels that anyone can admire, this unique ride definitely does not disappoint. When mixing class and luxury with the fast-growing art of stance, this G35 is a portrait of perfection.

YO That's Clean B

We bring you this super clean 1987 B12 Nissan Sentra owned by Nax Whitmore. Nax is also the proud owner of this sick VIP Lexus previously featured here on Stance Miami. It was so great to photograph this car, especially looking the way it does because it reminded us here at Stance Miami of our passion for these cars growing up in the islands. I know Nax also feels the same way as he shares the commonality of being from the caribbean (Jamaica.)

Nax honestly didn't have a goal with this car except to keep it as simple and as clean as possible. We think he succeeded beyond measure!

We asked Nax what his plans are for the future with this B12 and he said, "No future plans as of now, unless my crazy mind get bored, then I might do qr2.5 spec-v with wire tuck, might, so don't expect it."

Nax would like to make some shout outs and appreciation to Emerald Performance, Slammered Inc, and also his crew FortuneMinds.
