APR Dealer Conference
Part of our job here is making sure we're ahead of all the most current advancements in the aftermarket industry so we can be sure to bring our customers only the latest and greatest upgrades. One way we do that is being frequent visitors at as many manufacturer's event as we can. This past February, we were attendants of the yearly APR conference where we were treated to sneak peeks to some cool new products coming in the months ahead. Details
BF Goodrich Tire Release
Last month, we flew out to Phoenix to meet with the guys of BF Goodrich for an awesome tire launch. Debuting their latest all season passenger tire, we got to witness this new tire being out through its paces at Firebird Raceway. Featured on three different vehicles and in three different settings, BF Goodrich expertly displayed the tire's prowess in both wet and dry conditions, on track settings and daily driving situations, and we were definitely impressed. 
Spring Track Day Recap
With the sun shining bright over Kershaw, South Carolina and the Carolina Motorsports Park, we left Charlotte to head to a day that promised fast cars and plenty of track time fun. With many of our fellow track enthusiasts also anxiously awaiting the re-arrival of their favorite hobby, we all hit the track and a fantastic time was had by all! Special thanks goes to our great friends at CMP for allowing us to share their super cool track year after year!

What to do when greeted with a car as gorgeous as this 2015 M3? This car came to us already carbon fibered out and with a fantastic factory color so there wasn't much left to improve except the obvious: power!  We immediately went to work with a tune courtesy of ESS to let out that hidden horsepower and just for an additional punch of awesomeness, we added an Akrapovic exhaust to make it sound as incredible as it looks.

It's not uncommon to find a C63 AMG that can make you green with envy but with this special C-Class, its brakes can mirror that feeling right back to you.

This 2015 991 Turbo came to us with only one thing on its mind and that was a whole new stunning sound.

Now when this sleek black Porsche rolls down the street, it'll be as gorgeous to the ears as it is to the eyes. Details
