Default HIN- NOPI Best Stance....

So I attended the HIN-NOPI Show in Atlanta yesterday. I am glad the show came to Atlanta but it is far from what HIN or NOPI used to be. Got to see a few nice cars but since I am trying to get my car more geared towards VIP styling I really tried to pay close attention to a cars stance/offset/fitment. I met Daniel Chi and got to see his beautiful GS in person and talk with him for awhile. So during the awards I was trying to see which of the cars I liked would win the VIP awards and stance awards.

Here are a few of the cars that I really liked...

When they announced it I almost died! I looked over and Daniel to see his reaction. He remained calm I didn't even see him roll his eyes. I went over to talk to the guy from HIN after the show and I told him that if they wanted to be taken seriously that they needed to do better than that. I said that makes you guys look like idiots man.

Nothing strange here, car show judges hardly ever know what they're looking at but this is borderline retarded right here.

The 2IS looks ok, the GS looks good and the NSX looks like garbage.

As for the winner.......that looks like typical NOPI judging from their hayday. Those guys never did quite "get it" and it doesn't look like much has changed.

Can you school me here and clarify why you think the NSX looks like garbage? I liked it a lot one of my favorite cars from the show.

I like the nsx, looks like he can go up an inch on the wheels and use a lower drop. What kit Is that on it? Looks like an S7 as is.

Wow...the Eclipse won? Only in the dirty dirty they would appreciate that I guess. We, in NYC had a exotic car show in the middle of Times Square. HIN judging is so bias, it's like sometimes you have to know the judges so it can better your chances.









there's was a 2004-05 NSX but the one ATL looks far better than this one.
