Guess who's back? For those who aren't familiar with the name Stevie Phamo, we strongly urge you to check out the previous feature we did on him last year. He is now back with yet another car that will put Texas on the map and make you question just if you are low enough. Hell, it may even make you consider buying a CRX for yourself. We're talking far more then just a proper set of wheels and an aggressive stance, this thing is flawless all around. Every corner, every angle and every inch. It's always an honor to show off Stevie's cars to you. All of his cars will make many Honda owners proud.

Starting up front, Stevie did a complete JDM front end conversion. We're talking everything, hood, bumper, bumper lights, side markers, fender, headlights and the whole nine yards. He even replaced the rubber seals, fender linings and things like the plastic coverings. We like to think that less tends to be better, more complete and less confusing, but Stevie easily proved us wrong this time. His mod list spreads pages yet he manages to pull such a clean look. Here is a great example; We were never a fan of mud flaps on "fitted" cars, but he made them look cool. He also used parts from different cars to be different and innovative, such as the custom MK3 Golf front lip. The exterior was finished off with a Safire Black paint that was also hit with metallic pearls. The result is just right!





Here is where it gets really good though. Under the hood is a fully tuned 97 GSR motor with a B16 transmission. While you're under there, you will also find a B&M short shifter, Apexi AFC, HKS exhuast, ACT clutch and a clean set of Innovative motor mounts. Now that you know what moves it, you're probably wondering what exactly it sits on, right? Hit the Read More button below to find out!







Stevie's choice of coilovers are the Skunk2 Pro's. One of the things that we love the most about his CRX are those Chevlon 6 spokes with gold plated rivets and the repolished lips that were also filled & redrilled. They sit in 16x8 +23 (F) 16x8.5 +11 (R) and are wrapped in 195/40/16 Yokohama S Drives. In the rear he also added the Blackworks camber kit which was a nice touch in our opinion. This CRX sits seriously low, just look at those mud flaps literally touching the ground. Ask Stevie if he is on bags and you will probably offend him! This dude rolls hard everywhere and every time, no excuses!







That, takes us to that ridiculously low Civic Coupe of his. He hasn't done much to it since last year because quite honestly it was amazing just the way it was. As you may recall we mentioned that he would get his fenders painted since they had some "battle scars", and that he did. Slightly more pulled and smoothened, they now look good as new. He also added a Apexi World sport 2 exhaust and last but not least, he had those Mb Battles repainted in white. Stevie says that he plans on swapping new wheels on his Civic very soon. Perhaps a set of 3 piece wheel a this time around? You'll have to wait and see! Again, click here for specs and more on his Civic Coupe.







With that said, we'll leave you with a couple more pictures and some thank you's. Viet Do, for motivation to all his projects, Slammed Garage's Peter Lammerts, Imadeskidmarks' Mike B, rtranphotography, SunWorks and last but not least all of his friends! If you're interested in a feature on our site please shoot us an email right away! We're always looking for proper rides!

This amazing Accord Wagon easily takes the cake for having one of the most epic fitments we've seen in quite a while. Majority of us have a weak spot for properly fitted wagons, and this is exactly why! We can't get enough of it! Big shout out to our Hawaiian fans, it's truly an honor to show off your rides to the whole world. You guys are literally in a middle of nowhere and are barely visible on the map, yet you all constantly strive on pushing this "fitment scene" to a whole new level. For that alone, you have our respect. Someone alert the owner to hit us up for a proper shoot! Apparently this Accord was pieces not too long ago! Mike, who owns this thing, is selling his Work Euroline FS' custom made in black by Work in 19 X 9.5 +0 and 19 X 10.5 -12, so make sure you email stylessence@yahoo.com if you need some aggressive and rare shoes for your ride!

The last place you think of when you see a dumped VW EOS is probably Japan! Masa Yoshida sent us some pics of his EOS sitting pretty on a set of (get ready for this!) SSR Professors SP3! Their specs are 18x9 & 18x10 wrapped in 215/35/18 and 225/35/18 Toyo tires. Masa' EOS is also sitting on a custom air suspension that feature 2 Viair 380C air compressor a 5 gallon 8 port tank and many other things. Big shout out to Masa and all our Japanese fans for their support. Stay safe out there guys!

We would like to take a minute and dedicate this post to all of the incredibly amazing people of Japan. They've literally gone through hell these past couple of weeks, from earthquake after earthquake, to a tsunami and to the recent shortage of food and water! We have dozens of friends in Japan that we exchange emails with every now and then, and the way these guys handle themselves is just truly incredible. I've personally never seen such positive and strong bunch of people in my entire life. We got in contact with our friend Shota Mori (owner of this hatch) just a day after the quake hoping to hear that him and his family & friends were safe, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.



His family is located in the eastern side of Japan so he feared for the worst. As you may recall, phone lines were down, roads and homes were destroyed and there was no possible way of getting in touch with anyone right away. Thankfully though, after a couple of extremely long days he managed to make contact with his family. Just imagine what he was going through during those times!



Now, we know that it's been a couple of weeks since those unfortunate events occurred, and we also realize that the media has moved on to other things, but the truth is that there are still nearly half a million of Japanese people that have lost their homes, means of transportation and in some cases even their significant others. Food and water are finally getting to their shelters but it's obviously not enough.



This is where you guys come into play. You may have bought a couple of stickers or shirts to support Japan and that's great, however, if you have yet to do any of that or are fortunate enough to give more, we strongly urge you to help in any way that you can. We'll provide some links for you on the bottom of this post and we hope you at least consider it. We'll also leave you with some more pictures of Shota's awesome hatch. We thank you all in advance!

Planet Zero, an arcade in Houston hosted an anime convention called Anime Matsuri in conjunction with a car show called Import Reactor couple of weeks ago. This event brought over Smokey Nagata of Top Secret all the way from Japan last year, but due to the recent disasters he had to postpone his visit this year. But, with all the unfortunate events, many of the performers from Japan were still able to attend and put on a great show for everyone. The number of cars attending this year wasn't as high as last year, but the ones that did came out repped their teams hard. Here are some pictures for you.

Dallas native, reppin' Team 5Star, my friend Phi on his brand new setup of Work VS KF Mighty.



Another of Team 5Star, was this low S2000 on a set of polished Advan RGII.



This RHD DC5 was still in the unfinished state, but it'll turn out amazing once it's done.


16Niss held down the show with Chris's (Status:One) widebody G35. Click for more!


Another 16Niss masterpiece was this ridonkulous 350z with its super widebody and amazing details!


This car was crazy to look at. I'm sure people will have various opinion on the paintjob but I think it's pretty freaking cool. Under the hood were 2 JayZ's haha! Show winner as well.





These 2 civics had some of the best fitment I've seen on Hondas. Stay tuned for more!




Fit on RS's = Win



This WRX looked very nice with the orange and black combo. It even had some details on the inside of the wheels and tires, check out these couple of shots.
