Step it up.

We bring you this tucked and poked 2001 Nissan Maxima owned by Yasel Perez of Hialeah, Florida. This car full embodies what we call the Tuck It! Philosophy©. Every angle while shooting this car was a great angle. Yasel has done a spectacular job building this daily driver.

Yasel's goal for this car was to have a stanced 5th gen maxima that was different and clean. He hopes to possibly do an RHD conversion and a supercharged setup.

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."

JR says,"I would like to thank ClubLexus, especially my 2IS family (they know who they are) for all the information and the support I needed to accomplish this build. 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.

NDIMA Coverage Part 1

NDIMA (National Domestic Import Motorsport Association) held this full day event on Sunday July 15th, 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 in a big way and supported from all over the state of Florida and beyond. We are excited to see what the folks at NDIMA have planned for the next one. Enjoy the photos and leave some love at the bottom of the coverage page.
