Cheatsheet #1: Overnight parts from Japan without the middleman

Alright, I kinda lied. While you still may need a proxy, you are eliminating some of the middlemen who stand between you and your desired parts. With that being said, this post is inspired by my recent distaste for a seller. While I started this piece from a place of anger and disdain for how...

First Class Fitment 2017

First Class Fitment (FCF) has consistently curated diverse and unique cars from the Northeast ranging from American, European and Japanese origins. This year, despite the morning dampness, the turnout met everyone’s expectation. Fitment like many things within modding of cars has changed. While there are some wild style oni camber around, fitment has taken something of...

Lowridin’ in Tokyo

Yea, you are still on PRIME. Although our focus is styling of 90’s Japanese cars, a distraction is always welcomed for us especially in the form of lowriders. We love cars from different eras, some even beyond our cultural reference. Growing up in NYC, we didn’t get to see some of the lowriders that California...

Wekfest Seattle

With Wekfest East fast approaching, we’re taking a look back at the Seattle stop of the tour. A good friend of PRIME, Sebastian, made the journey to the other side of the US to capture the scene. It was a new stop on the Wekfest tour that seems to have paid off for the organizers...

Sunday’s Vintage Japan

Have you ever been to a Cars and Coffee? Or any meet of that type? I have and while it always starts with a novel idea, it can suck when you meet a douchebag that just wants to flex on (or runover if Mustang) a crowd of strangers. But sometimes, there are those who go to events...

Wekfest San Jose 2017 – iDL Design USA

There is no denying that California is the de facto epicenter of car culture within the USA. With that being said, for PRIME to focus only on NYC would not only do us a disfavor but also to those who have become our audience and fam. Norcal is beautiful; the weather is great and the...

Autcon New York 2017

As a massive show from the west coast, we had exceptionally high expectations for Autocon. For this blog post, we decided to discuss some of the novel ideas that Autocon was able to bring to the east and try to provide some insight from the standpoint of local long-time enthusiasts. What if we didn’t use...

FDNJ: BATTLE CAPTURES

I can’t believe Formula D, NJ has already come and gone. Time is flying by! After the New York Auto Show, Formula Drift NJ is somewhat of an unofficial start of car culture season here in the Tri-State. This massive event that’s been in circulation for over a decade and is showing no signs of losing momentum....

RUN THE NIGHT

Man I love video’s like this. Well shot, well edited, perfect choice of music, nothing but sick cars in their environment, the street. No extra fluff. No instafamous models. No vlogging fuckbois. Just car life.

Nice work by our friends at http://www.the-lowdown.com
