FX35

iM Feature: Perfect Dark FX35

We’ve had a couple of blog posts here talking about the great work performed by Steve from Perfect Dark Tinting on some of the cars featured, and/or on our own team members cars. So with working on everyone else’s cars, does he have time to work on a vehicle of his own? If he did, what would it look like?

The answer:

This pimp Infiniti FX35 is Steves daily driver, as well as being the shop workhorse capable of hauling around the tools and materials of his trade.


Steve has done most of the work himself to set his FX apart from the crowd. Some of his touches include the tint film on the headlights, foglights, taillights, and rear reflectors. Also, the careful but perfect black vinyl wrap job on the front grille and his own signature design name on his hood/fender ensure that its one of a kind. He also had the factory wheels redone in black to keep in the clean black and white theme.



Look for more of this ride next season as Steve continues to personalize it. And if you need any work done, whether its tint, vinyl wrap, 3M paint protection, or exterior tint films, do not hesitate to contact him at (403) 808-8228 for a quote or appointment. Tell him you saw this article!

GTI

iM Feature: Dub Rat

Been a while since I have posted some pics so why not continue the Euro theme that seems to be happening right now.

Little story behind this car, the GTi before used to be owned by a friend of mine who did most of the work like sourcing the mint ATS cups and decking it out with rare parts. But I’m pleased to tell you that a couple months ago I had the opportunity to buy it and jumped on it and have never been happier.

Some specs of the car:

2.0L Bottom End
1.8L Head
Unknown Street Cam
Unknown Chip
Raceland Race Header
Full 2.5″ TT exhaust with Borla Muffler
Full Recaro Interior
Euro Tales
15×7 ATS cups wrapped in 195/40 Toyo T1R’s
F+R slotted/drilled disc brakes
Weitec Coils
Bigger sway bars

Not complete without a Royal Pine air freshener hanging from my wink mirror, Plan on getting some new more aggressive wheels next spring, maybe some CCWs and a bigger cam for the motor. Thanks for checking it out.

iM Event Coverage

iM Event Coverage: ZR Auto Track Day

We were at the track attending the Spec D’s ‘Sunday Funday’ on October 3rd, and it just so happen to be the ZR Auto Track Day as well. So while the drifters were warming up I snapped a few pics of the super cars on the other track. There were a lot of nice cars and they were driven like they are supposed to be, but there was a fence in the way so I only was able to get panning shots of the cars. Enjoy.

iM Event Coverage: Spec D’s ‘Sunday Funday’

I got a chance to attend Spec D’s ‘Sunday Funday’ on October 3rd. Although the clouds were covering the sun, it was still fairly warm out, and a great time was had by all. I believe it was Spec D’s last event of the year considering the snow can descend upon us at any time.

Special thanks goes out to Spec D for organizing the event, and letting us in to get coverage on the event. Get out and support these guys next year by attending their events, they do not disappoint.

Cancer

PINK x illmotion

Finally – we’re a little late to the game. But we’re in it early enough to still help against the fight to Breast Cancer. We here at illmotion are not just about cars, offsets and expensive parts. No. We love the girls that are a part of our lives, our culture as well as the girls that take part in this obsession that we can all share. Because we love them so much (and we know you do too), we want to raise awareness and give a helping hand to those fighting against breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the number one type of cancer that is diagnosed in women which equals approximately 200,000 women and of that 200,000.. 65,000 of them will die from it each year. About 1 in 9 women will have that chance of developing breast cancer which is too big of a chance for us to just not care.

For the month of October as most of you all know, people worldwide are all celebrating breast cancer awareness month. To do so, we have come up with a super super special edition breast cancer pink illmotion decal with the familiar pink ribbon replacing our crown. You don’t have to like pink, or even rock it on your car because the most important thing is that we are raising money to have 50% of ALL decal (yes, not just the pink ones) proceeds go towards the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation during the month of October. So, whether you purchase one, two or ten, you can be sure that you’re helping your lovely little lady, mom, friend or another special lady out there.

Once again, this is another opportunity for us to thank you for sticking with us and supporting us in every way possible. PINK power!

Head to the store to grab yours!

iM Feature: Terence’s Merc C230

It seems like we’ve taken a turn for the good to some more Euro content on the site. It’s great because we have supporters and readers that have a bunch of different interests and we want to show off anything worth being shown off.

I remember seeing Terence’s car for the first time when I participated in my first car show back in 2008. At the time, I was new to the scene with little experience with anything at all and I think Terence’s car was the first one I’ve ever seen that sat so flush. I strictly remember asking him what he was running on the rears and he said “265/x/x”. At the time, I was running 215’s on 7″ wide wheels (which I rubbed on somehow) and I loved Terence’s stance. Jealousy kicked in here.

Fast forward and now we’re all playing the fitment game and Terence is still in it with an even more aggressive setup – still with no rub. In my opinion, it’s tough to make a Euro like a Mercedes look classy without the rice – which is supposed to be for us import guys…

It’s great when there are guys out there that pay attention to detail for every part of their car. It’s rare to find because it’s not always in a person’s best interest to spend money on parts people don’t generally “see”. It’s when you break it down that you can appreciate the work like this that is put in.
