High-risks, high-rewards? Raising the bar, once again

When you think you have built the ‘perfect car’ for yourself, what’s next? You outshine it. I like the idea of escalating things and ideas; it shows that you are ready to face bigger challenges. High-risks, high-rewards; this is my way of thinking. Enter the world of Keith Bryan Haw, known for his aggressive yet refined builds.…

Walk on by

Wide-body, aggressive fender flares, crazy aero. I don’t think this trend will slow down anytime soon. But how about applying these styling choices to a platform which doesn’t need modification, say like, a… Ferrari? To purists, blasphemous, but for the adventurous, why not? I mean, <sarcasm> I wouldn’t want to look like my neighbor’s Ferrari </sarcasm>…

Miura and Kato? Just Like Batman and Robin

“Love or hate the brand, Kei Miura and his fleet of bunnies are here to stay.” These were my final words from last year’s recap/interview post. The wide-body phenomenon may not be for everyone but it has been a mainstay in the car community. Judging from the builds I saw during the Liberty Walk x…

After recovering from the post processing blackhole that was Tokyo Auto Salon 2015 (http://fatlace.com/2015/01/tokyo-auto-salon-2015/), I managed to do a quick cruise by Wekfest Hawaii 2015! Year after year the Aloha State shows off their true Elites, and this year is no different! This Revision Audio creation came to the show pretty much straight from the…

The Manila Auto Salon 2014

It’s that time of the year again when the Philippines best car customizers gather at the SMX convention center for the Manila Auto Salon. This year’s show packed a variety of interesting builds. I won’t go to detail on some of the cars as I plan to schedule individual shoots. On to the photos. Let’s start…
