Back on July 16, 2011 the illmotion crew headed out to Vancouver, BC and attended the DTP Auto Show that took place at the Rocky Mountaineer Station. This marked the first road trip ever for illmotion as a crew and what an amazing road trip it was! The weather did play an important factor at DTP Vancouver however the rain did not stop anyone from coming out and showcasing a fine arsenal of cars from Vancouver and surrounding areas. illmotion @ DTP Vancouver was definitely one for the books and we hope more road trips will happen in the future!

iM Feature: Gangster D’s Honda S2000
If you are a frequent reader here on illmotion, you’ve probably noticed that there is a pretty popular platform amongst the numerous vehicles that have been featured or highlighted since we’ve started. If you guessed the Honda S2000, give yourself a round of applause. What is it though that makes the Honda S2000 so popular to modify? A look into the S2000′s history and you will find out that this RWD Convertible Sports Coupe introduced by Honda was received well by critics and drivers alike since it’s induction to the automotive industry in late 1999-early 2000. The S2000 was a [...]
iM Highlight: Tim’s Lexus IS 300
What is perfection? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it as: “an exemplification of supreme excellence”. Lexus has been striving for perfection since its debut in 1989 with the Lexus LS 400, or “FlagShipOne” for all you history buffs. As we all know, Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota that has created cars that feature comfort, style, performance and sex appeal as standard options. Fortunately, I had the chance to experience three of those features in person by shooting Tim’s Lexus IS 300. Tastefully modified, it stands out, but not too much. It’s very subtle, timid and clean. When he purchased [...]
iM Feature: Jamie’s Honda S2000 v2.0
If you are new or fairly familiar to the car scene, you probably already know that you could break the scene down into two main groups. There is the group that represent the “Performance” side of things, and the group that represents the “Appearance” side. Dig a little deeper into the scene and a few builds will definitely stand out and represent a little bit of both. When looking for that perfect balance of “Appearance” and “Performance”, there’s no disputing Jamie’s decision to opt for Honda’s rear wheel drive sports car, the S2000, as his platform. The exterior may scream [...]
iM: FlickR Picks
A little bit of a different approach with flickR picks today… I’ve been looking at wheels lately and I’ve got a bit of an obsession with every wheel now. Browsing through illmotion’s photostream, I happened to stumble upon Andrew’s photostream with a bunch of sick VW’s/Euros on sick ass wheels. Some wheel porn – courtesy of Andrew of ShutterGarage.com! Thanks Andrew!
