As I walked into the office this morning, fresh off of a great vacation and reunion with my family from New York I felt calm and ready to get back to work. As I sat down to my desk I saw some post-it notes, not unusual when I return from a few days away. One of the post it notes was regarding two cover shoots I was working on planning with Dsport Magazine. The post it note said “Jason S’s TS V35 tomorrow for the cover”. At this point “tommorow” meant today, and there was a glaring problem I saw. Despite working on setting up the shoot over the past few weeks, I wasnt prepared for it to happen without the car first getting some Bulletproof “sticker love”, as I like to do for our magazine covers on cars that I’m especially proud of.

So within 5 minutes of me entering the office after my hiatus, I jumped in my car and battled through traffic for 30 miles to try to make it to the photo studio in time to slap some BP stickers on the car for the shoot. Fortunately I made it in time, and even more fortunately I got to meet some great new people at the shoot which I’ll be doing some collaborations with hopefully in the near future.

This particular photo shoot was for Jason’s G35 which was in town from Hawaii! We assisted Jason with the parts for this build a couple of years back and it was one of the first Top Secret G35’s we had our hands in. I especially love the color Jason selected for this car which is an Infiniti standard Beryllium color (found on the FX’s mainly) with a bit of a subtle twist in a blue pearl finish. The car was built pretty much exactly as I would have built it (color combo, parts and wheels), with the exception of the rear wing and exhaust which I’m personally not a fan of.

The car features a nice list of mods as expected, was tastefully done, and is finished off with 500+ HP from a highly tuned twin turbo engine.

Jason unfortunately turned down my offer to get his car featured in Fast and the Furious 4, and is shipping his car back to Hawaii tomorrow. The car is currently for sale, if you’re interested in purchasing feel free to send me an email and I’ll be happy to assist.

The lead-in photo is in 1800pix resolution. Be sure to look for the future issue of DSport and pick that up. I encourage you to support DSport, they’re one of the only independent owned magazines in the US (and the largest in their field) and they continue to improve and leave their mark! By the way, the cover model that posed with the car was very very attractive as well. Out of respect for Dsport, I’m not posting any photos of her with the car…you’ll just need to wait for the magazine to get the full shoot. Anyway, this blog is not about models, it’s about cars and I’m keeping it that way.

Tomorrow I’m off to another studio for another car shoot, this time with my S2000 doing a Toyo Tires magazine ad and misc promotional shoot.
