Left Coast Low Car Show. (Slammed, Fitted, Poked, Stretched Content Inside) 56 pics. - AutoPhotog : Photo Enthusiasts/Pros Forum

Pswirley · 12-23-2009, 06:12 PM

Considered by many to be a passing fad, the slammed, stanced, poked, and flush of the West Coast united in Santa Barbara on Sunday, December 21st. Left Coast Low was organized by enthusiasts to show the strength of their numbers, the quality of work they are doing to their cars, and the creative freedom allowed and often encouraged in this sub culture of cars that is considered by many to be an acquired taste.

Backdropped by the Pacific Ocean at beautiful Ledbetter Beach, the Left Coast Low Show in its first year, drew over 200 cars and several more hundred guests.

Often labeled as hipsters and trendy kids that are trying too hard, these hardcore wheel fitment specialists bring something different to the norm of modded automobiles. At a meet where cracked oil pans are the norm and cars that don't angle into parking lots were a rarity, you will certainly see a variety of creation, expensive and rare wheels, as well as several decaled declarations to those who refuse to accept this scene as a legitimate force in the automotive world.

We were certainly honored and impressed by the quality of the cars, location, and most importantly, the people.

Absolutely love the processing, really gives all those photos a special feeling, almost movie like. What model camera are you using?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I typically do not enjoy shooting events like this, but for whatever reason I was pleased with the pics from this show.

As always, I hope you enjoy the work.

I don't know if i told you but those pics came out great. Definitely better than anything I shot.

BagofBones · 01-09-2010, 11:17 PM

I really like the "stanced" look. If the roads were better around where i live, i think i would have a car to do it with.

Love the pics too!
