The show wasn’t too big, it wasn’t too crowded. Definitely the ladies out numbered the cars, it usually is a given though. Some of your favorites like Christine Mendoza and Elissa Alva were in attendance. Unlike Hot Import Nights, there were no flashy lights, no rice rockets, all the cars were tasteful. If you didn’t know, there were a couple of screening events for cars to be in the show, and I know a couple of people whose cars were not chosen to be placed in the show, so the cars were hand chosen.

 

The day started off early,  I met up with some folks before we all headed to San Mateo for set up.

Later on in the day we started to take some photos, many of the cars pictured you may know, as they are huge in the NorCal import scene.

Here is a test shot with the rig…

Don’t worry, better pics will come with time, this is just a test.

 

How did we do it? Well we acquired some suction cups, 10ft in piping, and a ghetto camera mount (will be replaced soon with a magic arm).

 

This is pre editing

with photoshop, you want to clone out the pole and do whatever touching up you want to do. This again was a test, I know the picture isn’t perfect.

Stay tuned for some awesome pictures in the near future.
