Siphon Magazine feature cars wanted

dc5ivtec · 02-05-2008, 07:22 PM

Hey everyone. My name is Jeff Creech and I am a local freelance automotive photographer. I was recently contacted by an editor at Primedia and was told Siphon magazine is currently looking for "B-specs and micros FULL TIME!! Fit, xB, xA, versa, yaris, etc..." and there is a very high probability that if your car is clean enough, it will get in.

I live in Louisville, KY, but currently go to school full-time in Ohio so I am looking for a car somewhere within a 4 hour driving radius of Oxford,OH and/or other cars further that would be willing to meet me somewhere half way.

Anyone interested should post up a few sample pictures and a brief list of the modifications. Thanks alot.

For more information about me, and a sample of my pictures you can check out my online portfolio at www.jeffcreech.com

I live in Richwood. Another member here (859Toaster) lives over in Erlanger. There's a guy (ben) with a very well built xb in Hebron. There's also another guy running around Northern KY (Jay) that's got a PW xb bagged and lots of audio. So there are a few around here

You hit Cincinnati, and there are several that are quite nice (Randy's for example). Head over to scionati.com.

Edit: There is also a Lexington scikotics chapter. Quite a few of the members live in Louisville. For them, head over to scikotics.com and go to the chapter's form.

Hope that helps.

I give up. Ive sent in MULTIPLE amazing xBs (not my own) and they got shot down. Somehow the ones pushing the limits in the industry dont get features, instead, ones rocking Sportmax and played out kits get in. If you happen to talk to Carter again, you can give him my email.

Scionbox05@yahoo.com

Thanks
Scotty

i'm in kent ohio and could meet you somewhere between there and oxford this spring. sounds like a great opportunity!
mods:
>tein s-tech lowering springs
>dc sports axle back exhaust
>anzo projector headlights
>injen short ram intake
>tinted tail lights
>tein hood dampers
>18x7.5 gunmetal sportmax 962's
>napolex a/t shift knob

pics are from last summer before i got the esam visors. also, i'm getting air suspension this spring, so my car will be considerably lower than it is in these pictures.

thanks for looking!

Mine will be primped and ready in may/june, will you still be in ohio then?

wackblackxb · 02-05-2008, 08:21 PM

whahaha as soon as i move

Dooby · 02-05-2008, 08:25 PM

I'm sure Im not even considered since I live in CA, but are you looking for something to the extreme of this build- not completed at this time or when photos taken

ScottyTuned · 02-05-2008, 08:34 PM

I swear to god if you dont get in Chris Im gonna boycott the damn magazine. Carter needs to branch out and get some good first gens in it that may not be sponsor whores. Dancar, Hotbox009, Aireck, Dajap, Dekthai, JDMJim, ChipzxB, and many more would work!

Yeah, something along those lines, I think. I just take the pictures, so I'm not the one to make the decision of if it goes to print or not. Basically, I'm looking for well rounded cars. Something unique or out of the ordinary is always a plus, but sometimes that isnt enough. If i see anything that catches my eye in this thread well then I will most likely send it in to get the editors opinion on it before I travel to go shoot it.

But yeah, obviously I'm not going to be shooting your car unless you plan on having it shipped to ohio in the next couple of weeks. haha

I wouldnt let you shoot the car anyways. Its no where being done-i need to finish the engine up and fix a few notches here and there.

dc5ivtec · 02-05-2008, 08:44 PM

Well I've got a friend who lives in Socal, who shoots for alot of the magazines, so I'm linking him to this thread. I believe he's going to pitch it to siphon, so I'm sure he'll keep you updated.

EDIT: NVM, i sent him the link, but I guess I'll have him hold off having it pitched to Siphon.

I think Carters already seen the Car while it was at the Shop- not too sure. Just need to knock it out and clean it up a lil but go ahead if you wanna link it to him- never hurts to see if i can change something here or there

JDMJim · 02-07-2008, 11:45 AM

yeah, well, I was sorta shot down cuz of the mostly stock interior. we have another white xB around here on Authentic Noblesse with Sportmax 504's. looks nice actually. Just get up here to the carshow in May.
