unfortunately, they were made slightly incorrectly, ( they cuit them with hidden hardware vs exposed black hardware) .. but Niche stepped up immediately and is making me new correct wheels when i get back from SEMA.. and they already have these sold apparently. Lol.. they move fast.. im impressed.

Sick looking wheels, not to drastic of a change. I remember Niche back in the 90's and these new styles really blow that stuff out of the water. Way nicer now IMHO.

If you guys don't already know, Brian made it to the final round of the PAS MAG Tuner Battlegrounds competition and is currently at SEMA with the car.

Voting is now open and runs until mid-day Friday.

You can vote as often as you want by simply adding the hashtag #PASMAGBRIAN on ANY posts you make this week on Instagram or Twitter.

Because it's just a instaspam or twatter popularity contest.

No clue why they wont allow FB voting. To me it should have been an on-site voting, what in the world is instaspam voting? I dont even have an account, and refuse to get one.

I've been to plenty of car shows were cars who won were a head scratcher popularity contest. It's the name of the game sometimes.

I completely agree.. On site voting would have been the way to go. This should've been a landslide in the opposite direction but the same group of people won last year too which might have something to do with it

Go on to @pasmag on instagram

That Acura was actually pretty clean

I mean I think that Z is sick too but I think people wanted the overall cleaner car compared to a overly aggressive wrapped car. I mean it is Sema

Agree it is pretty weak that you just have to put in the hashtag to vote. You don't even have to reference the car. I think its a fundamental flaw with the way they chose to do the voting. Its not about the car its about who has a team of developers that can write a script to inject hundreds of hashtags on pointless posts.

Probably also didn't help his cause that a Star Dast 370z was competing last year.

They really should have done on site voting, or had some sort of judges at that point. Even better a series of competitions that would separate the best "tuner" car.

But hey at least you got a nice ride to sema

the end result was done in combination w onsite voting as well.. hence i caught up really closely.

Doesnt make much sense to tell you all that at the time over the internet though since... most of you werent there lol.

In the end, even with the wave of HONDA outpouring of votes.. i lost by less than 2%, with a combined total of 389 to 399.

The connections i made while i was there inclduing those w manufactures, media and other industry figureheads, as well as internet friends.. was .. EPIC.

I lost a cover spot and bragging rights.. but will still be featured, and will most likely start writing a column for the magazine tbh. Thanks for the support guys.. but no reason to be let down.. there was zero *** kicking. As for "cleaner non wrapped cars".. you clearly didnt go to SEMA lol .. because thats all there was there this year.. aggressive as fk.. wraps, and over the top bodywork

Just is what it is... i didnt have time to ask people to vote much while i was there.. swapping to hashtag votes ensured no fakes.. you can track every single organic new post that way. A lot of people dont have IG or twitter.. so i made up w onsite votes.. very few people in the end were actively voting w my hastag though.. about 180 active voters posting. So theres that.. kind of out of my hands.. i think people though i was fine and kinda snoozed a bot tbh.. but its fine.
oh and as for final voting.. Facebook can be manipulated VERY easily.


The experience was unreal.. and its projected me into a WHOLE NEW realm and category of builders and realtionships.. im so fking thankful for the support.. srs... this was the biggest thing ever to me.
