For two years Ben was a monthly columnist for Modified Magazine writing his “The Real JDM” reports. The Real JDM became extremely popular amongst those who enjoyed high quality Japanese tuning. The column featured insight from Japan’s top tuners, exclusive behind the scenes access and unique editorial perspective on design, tuning trends, and cutting edge JDM tuning techniques. Not just the content but the photography was exclusive and from Ben’s own camera as well as the personal cameras of top industry tuning companies like Top Secret, Mines, J’s Racing, Ings, etc.

Now he’s taking it to the next level with The Real JDM – Interactive

Hoping to start interesting conversations on the latest cutting edge news out of Japan, The Real JDM – Interactive is born.

It’s quite simple actually. Ben’s personal The Real JDM blog can be found at www.bespokeventures.com/blog
