It’s About That Time…

November 17th, 2008

Well boys and girls, the time has come for me to part ways with the G37. It’s been fun but in all honesty I never should have bought this thing. The way things are going right now, I’m sure no one is in the market for a new car but hey, why not give it a shot.

Asking price is $38,000 or best reasonable offer.

The pictures below show chrome stocks but the car is not on those anymore, it’s on the silver stock wheels. Mileage is right under 11K, never been in an accident, oil changed every 3,500 miles, etc.

If you have questions, just shoot me an email to gene@genetjin.com.

Jason Siu’s BMW 335i

November 14th, 2008

Yesterday I drove Jason Siu’s BMW 335i to work to swap out the old axle-back exhaust he had for a new MagnaFlow cat-back exhaust. After the tech center was done installing the system I took it over to our other building and shot it since Ms. Siu’s been asking for some new pictures of it. Anyways, here are some of the quick edits… enjoy the played out background!

Oh yeah, click the images for slightly larger versions.

KW Suspensions Advertisement!

November 13th, 2008

A few months back I got together with the crew at KW Suspensions and shot a new ad for their new Subaru STi and Mitsubishi Evo X applications. Well after some time, the ad has finally hit the pages of Modified Magazine and here it is.

Well boys and girls, now that SEMA has come and gone the pictures can finally be made public. These are four of the images that Wes Allison shot for Honda North America that will be used for their marketing materials and what not.

A little background on the build; Honda North America contacted us to see is we wanted to do a follow up to the last Fit GD that we did (Two-tone Copper, Kenstyle, HRE’s, etc) for this years SEMA Show and gave us a little over four weeks do complete the car. Obviously four weeks isn’t too much time so I we decided to keep it pretty simple with paint, audio, wheels and suspension. We chose to do something a little bit different than the “typical” build by doing something that everyone can relate to in some way when building a car that’s capbale of being used on a daily basis.

Anyways, this wouldn’t have been possible without some of the people that helped back the project including Mobil 1, NOS Energy Drink, Unique Fabrication, MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust, Function / Form Suspension, Dunlop Tires, Realm Audio, Ignited HID, Visteon and Webasto so a huge “thank you” goes out to them.

As expected, the car should and will be a “love it or hate it” build but as always, enjoy!

Who Feels Like Crap… I Do!

November 12th, 2008

Been feeling like crap all day thanks in part to the lack of sleep that’s been going down lately. Anyways, there’s nothing special to post up besides a few shots that Corey and I took earlier today, enjoy.

Hip Hop Joe’s Range Rover.

November 11th, 2008

Yesterday Corey and I had the chance to shoot Hip Hop Joe’s Range Rover; this car was feature on the cover of Heavy Hitters Magazine and most recently in the MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust Booth at the SEMA Show. A huge thanks goes to Brian Garin of Capital Forged Wheels for helping me find a booth car so last minute. Anyways, here are two quick shots from yesterday, enjoy!

Mobil 1 / Theory Communications

November 11th, 2008

Sorry for the lack of updates, we were all in Las Vegas last week for SEMA. Anyways, as promised, here are the real deal images of the Mobil 1 signage that I shot thanks to the boys at Theory. Up first is the billboard, then the banner that was hanging from the main hall at the show and lastly, one of the 120 taxi tops that they ran.

Mobil 1 - SEMA Ad Campaign

October 31st, 2008

Well the boys at Theory finally released some of their SEMA Marketing material for Mobil 1 to the public earlier today and I’m beyond thankful for the opportunity to shoot a lot of it.

They got together with Vince Wong, owner of iForged Wheels to collaborate and use his latest project, an insane Porsche 996TT to Techart GT Street 997TT conversion for a good chunk of their marketing stuff. Anyways, long story short I was contacted to photograph the car a few weeks back and below is just some of the stuff that they came up with.

The first is just a sample is just one of the sample shots of the session, the second is a preview of a 20 x 25′ (yes, you read that right, 20-feet by 25-feet) banner that’ll be hanging on the front of the Las Vegas Convention Center, the the third image is a 15′ x 49′ billboard that’s going to sit outside the convention center as well and lastly is another billboard featuring a Nissan Skyline tuned by Ben Schaffer and the Bullet Proof Automotive crew.

Alright, I’m over typing so that’s all you get… if you happen to be out in Las Vegas this coming week make sure to keep an eye out. Oh yeah, if you’re flying into Vegas, keep an eye out for another Mobil 1 banner in the airport I shot featuring Ken Gushi’s Scion tC.

Well kids, you saw it here first… hot off the press from the Theory offices, SEMA Show booth plans:

“Mobil 1 SEMA Porsche 996 Turbo

Theory Communication and Design (www.theoryconcept.com) has teamed up with one of the top industry icons, to build a one of a kind Porsche 996 Turbo on behalf of Mobil 1. Vincent Wong, from iForged wheels, is no stranger to building high profile SEMA cars and this year he has taken things to a whole new level. Wong has worked closely with Theory over the past several months to build the perfect vehicle for the Mobil 1 SEMA booth.

Wong, the owner of iForged Wheels, shared with us the reasoning on why he built this Porsche the way he did. “I have strived to take one of the best engineered cars from Porsche and add my personal touch to it. I have always believed in building a car following the “show and go” concept. Even though a car looks beautiful, it should also be able to back up its good looks. Every modification performed on the car has a purpose and at the end of the day I hope people will be able to appreciate the hard work and long hours that have gone into building our one of a kind creation.”

Some of the highlights that will really make Wong’s Porsche stand out in the Mobil 1 booth, at the SEMA show, included the complete Porsche 997 TechArt GT Street wide body conversion, BASF Glasurit Porsche 997 GT3 RS Green paint job, Artisan 650HP Turbo upgrade package with Softronic ECU programming, Evolution Motorsports EVOMS intake system, Spec Clutch lightweight flywheel and Stage 3+ clutch, Custom Creative Car Audio and Motorsports custom stereo install featuring Rockford Stereo components, MA carbon fiber interior kit, GMG color matched 6 PT. roll cage, 15″ front and rear Brembo brake upgrade and of course a custom set of iForged 20×8.5 and 20×12.5 Neo wheels which are matched to Toyo Proxes T1-R 245/30/20 and 345/25/20 tires.

With less then one week to the SEMA show in Las Vegas, the buzz about the Mobil 1 Porsche 996 has been building as this amazing piece of machinery will be unveiled and showcased in the Mobil 1 booth (#25173) next week. For more information, please visit www.Mobil1.com.”

I shot this Porsche for some of their marketing materials (airport banners, taxi cab signs and one huge banner that you can’t possibly miss at the convention center) so if you’re headed to the SEMA Show next week there’s a good chance you’ll see some of it… enjoy!
