Mean Z

Luis Vivas from West Boca Raton brings us this '05 Nissan 350z. Since the age of 16, Luis started saving up for his future ride. Two years later, the perfect Z fell right into his hands.

Overcoming obstacles with the help of his family, it was finally possible to start the building process. Luis had to work countless hours and, at times, 2 jobs to save up for all the parts and wheels.

This Z has a look that any car enthusiast would be happy to gaze at. Inspired to make heads turn, Luis chose these stunning Work Rezax's and added his own mods. The amount of hard work invested into a project is always evident in the final product and this Z proves it! Well done, Luis.

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.

Little Red Devil

Written: Krystal Gonzalez                         Photographers: StanceMiami 

    Honda enthusiasts are a curious bunch. The moment a person embarks on their quest to modify their Honda, they almost instantly become hooked; it's almost like a sickness of some kind. Even though every car enthusiast has their own opinion, everyone can appreciate a clean 8th gen Si. 

    Four years ago, Jovannie Quiles from West Palm Beach, Florida became the first owner for this '08 Honda Civic Si. Garage kept until 2010 with 17k miles, Quiles tried experimenting with several wheels while choosing springs for suspension.

"

After a while, I started to see the stance game go crazy, so I decided to go that route with the Si.

" 

Quiles took about 3 months to finally get wheels and full suspension on the car, and the stance look he was going for was finally complete.

"

After the build I started to go to several car show events at Palm Beach International Raceway and people showed me a lot of love for my Si, but with that love came plenty of imitators. Now seeing a lot of these cars built the same way, bigger plans are to come in the near future.

"

There's no doubt that most people have their preconceived notions about civics. But despite whatever prejudices you may or may not have, this car has curves anyone can appreciate. I like to think of it as a clever mix of performance and unique styling that stands out anywhere. It's the unique things that people do to their cars that get attention and respect. Well done, Jovannie!
