illest TL

Photographers:StanceMiami

We bring you this gorgeous 2005 Acura TL owned by Bi Nguyen of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

It was a pleasure shooting this one of a kind stanced TL because of the detail and thought that went into this build.

Nguyen's original goal was "to have nice looking daily driver," but after discovering the art of stance, he decided to take it to the next level.

Nguyen first started with coils, wheels, and the A-spec kit Like anyone stancing something.

He was happy for awhile with what was done, but then he caught stance fever once again and wanted to do more, and thus the result before us which includes some body work for that wider fitment.

   When asked what his future goals with the car are, Nguyen simply answered "interior and super charger". Personally, we can't wait to see what big things he has in mind!

SIMPLE

Oh So Shiny

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. And of course a big shoutout to my crew FortuneMinds, you guys are awesome."

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.
