My coverage of the EXC Luxury Car Show in L.A.

[Falkdesigns]

So as some of you know I had my Q in the EXC show this past Saturday in Little Tokyo, L.A. Falken Tires presented the show, there were about 150 cars. In the Infiniti class, the top 3 that got trophy's were all G35's, which I thought was pretty lame considering the theme of the show. There were 3 Y33's and 1 G50 there, the G50 which belongs to Ron won something, but I can't remember. His interior was awesome as you'll see in the pics. I didn't win anything, but I didn't expect to either.

In all it was fun, but 10 hours on my feet (forgot my chairs) in the heat and dressed up in black slacks, shoes and cap with my new Simpson grey and black crew shirt with Falk Luxury Sports logo embroidered on it didn't help, but I did look good. The swords are Hitori Hanso's (Kill Bill) and we made a bitchin custom rack for them. Got lots of compliments, and met quite a few people that said they'd seen my car on the web. My car was cleaner and shinier than pretty much any of the other black cars, even though it's got 8 year old paint. Also met Martin (KU4z...something) and his cousin, both very cool dudes.

So without further to-do, here are the pics.

Have to laugh at VIP Ferraris, Porshes and Lamborghinis! These guys probably ride Harleys too.

That curtain gathered at the B pillar would drive me nuts in lane changing manouevers.

[Falkdesigns]

It wasn't a VIP theme show and I'm sure some of them have some Harleys that cost as much as a new Q. It was pretty disgusting to see 25 year old kids with modded $100k cars though. The curtain doesn't bother me at all, but normally I have them closed, and you can actually see out through the mesh pretty easily.

Falken is doin it right, helping promote the VIP scene. I wish some other tire manufactures caught on.

Is there a floor tray in that G50?

Yeah, some kids have all the money! At least until they spend it all.

Ah yes, deployed with mesh would be better for visibility than gathered. Kind of like the screens in the F50.

Cars sitting on the ground though. Sheesh.

[Falkdesigns]

I think cars sitting on the ground look stupid too. There were two new gen Lexus GS' there parked next to each other, one on air and slammed, the other on TEIN C/O's and sitting at a realistic ride height, IMO, the TEIN car at a real height looked 100x better than the dumped one. It inspired a new phrase for Falk Luxury Sports: "True Stance". Unlike air suspension which is a "fake stance".

And yes, you have a really "balanced" car. I always look at it like its the first time, or you've made some small change. you really have mastered the over all 'look"

Didnt think a Lambo could look more outrageous. Nice pics.

[MinisterofDOOM]

There are some really nice cars...especially the one Cullen posted.

I have to laugh at the Lincoln Zephyr.The grille on the black '06 GS is horrid.

[Falkdesigns]

That silver "Y33Cima" was fookin beautiful, really, really nice looking ride.

Not sure who the hottie was, but her and a friend were walking around in basically white boy-shorts underwear with Team Transport logo and tank tops, the best was watching them walk away, the one on the G35 had an amazing um, rear-end.

I personally dug the Zephyr, it's the first one I've seen, the guy drove it from Michigan, had Mich. Mfg. plates on it, he's also putting it in HIN this coming weekend.

Thanks for the comments.

Hey Falk, I took the pics of the same cars that you did. LOL. got some pics of your car too. Will put em up on Friday. I talked to that dude with the silver Y33. He said he lived in Japan for some time and had a CIMA there, so basically he just brought the parts of the old car here and put em on. BTW he is sellilng the car for $18,000. Not bad i think

[5seryan]

I'm with you falk... I thought the zephyr was pretty damn nice too. although i think he could have a little better offset on those shoes
