Default I/S/O (East Coast Meets)

Hey guys,
Me and a group of my car buddies will be starting a series of car meets at various locations throughout the east coast. We're all NC based, so we're starting our first meet in Raleigh. Then we're moving to different large areas around the state and on down to other states as well.

These meets will be free, and very organized. Everyone is welcomed but there will be rules enforced to keep things orderly and to weed out the obnoxious people.

Our first meet will be in the springtime of this year, there will be a lot of Lexus guys in attendance, so I encourage anyone close to the area to come down. We're hoping to grow in status and become something like Import Alliance. There aren't enough meets in our area, so we're trying to make something happen since car shows are starting to fade out.

Before anybody feel the need to criticize what we're doing, let me just say that we're not out to re-invent the wheel or compete with anybody. We just want to bring something positive and fun for car enthusiasts in our area and we hope people can just appreciate that. This is coming out of our own pockets, so we're purely doing this for the love.

Right now, we have a blog that was started to feature East Coast cars and to post up information about the meets. We'll be getting a legit website as soon as we can figure out a good domain name for us. The blog we have is basically the same deal as the hellaflush or stanceworks blog, but we're just focusing on cars from the East Coast. So if you have a nice car that you think is feature worthy, please hit me up, I would love to feature you. The first few posts on the blog has more information on what we're about. So please check it out:

ISO Blog

As a side note, we started out putting together a few small meets that has grew so much in popularity and size that we decided to do something big. Everybody who came enjoyed it and we were able to keep it very organized and professional. These events we're putting together will be free so there's no reason not to come and it's a great opportunity for people to network/meet new people.

Sounds like a cool idea. I'll definitely keep an eye out for events.

Unfortunately, I'm probably not flush enough to be featured.

Could you pm me some high res pix and a mod list. We're just starting out as a blog, so it's not all about being flush, it's about having a good stance and the right offset. Seems to me like you have that from the sig. And your car is definitely nice

Thanks man. mod list is in my sig. Unfortunately, my stance is nothing as I'm still riding stock height........still going over options of how I want to handle that. Also, my offsets aren't very aggressive....but, I personally wanted a more conservative/factory appearance.

Anyway, here's some other pics I took previously. Like I said....not very aggressive. I'm waiting til spring time to do some better shots.....hopefully with a lower stance and perhaps some new stuff (once the aftermarket catches up)

Well, I'm probably not going to slam it. Actually, I'm trying to find a way just to lower the front about 3/4".....got driveways/etc to worry about

we're not trying to show up the west, just bringing the idea of what they have to the east Coast, cause that's what we lack here.

I see what you're saying but everyone, but we're gonna try harder and harder (no homo) after each event.

Well, since most of us (the group of friends) are from Raleigh, so that's where we'll start but we're gonna move this meet around...Definitely will go to Charlotte and try out ATL once we get our recognition and people are understanding that you don't have to be "flush" or "aggressive to come out and check out the scene...
