Here's a couple photos I took from the show:

2015 Mustang GT, looks awesome inperson but the gloss black wheels, not my cup of tea as you really can't see how intricate the wheel style is.

Tanner Foust "Super Beetle"

Cool thing about this show is they have select clubs from the area to bring their cars in, although you guys don't know me this is the "top of the food chain" for me when it comes to cars, my eyes watered when I saw this!

The KIA display had a live DJ and alot of people there, they've got it going on for sure, their cars have taken leaps and bounds in both looks and quality!

IMO, the new WRX looks like the Legacy GT from 2 gens ago, love the color and wheels, ofcoarse.

"Super Godzilla", Nismo GT-R, tuned up to 600 hp, O-M-G! (gloss black wheels again)

Lexus LF-A, we hardly knew you! On a side note I heard one of these cars at a local import show, revving a V10 inside a parking garage was a religious experience!

"Green with Envy", not gloss black wheels, atleast the satin black looks good, well IMO anyways.

Now IMO, this car is the best looking car on the road, tip of the cap to Jag for making the coupe version, now can you PLEASE add real BRG paint to the car? Also, this is one of the top 3 best sounding cars on the road today, regular production car!

Pure SEX!!!

Underdog of the show, hands down, the Volvo V70 Polestar! I couldn't believe how nice this car was inperson and to sit in it was a dream, no stupid piano black panels everywhere, another thing the mfg's are going to for some reason.

Gloss black wheels, uggg, awesome ride!

The new 911 (991) what a rearend!

Just a perfect look, classic and look at those wheels, no gloss black and it would be a shame if they were too.

It was hard to take other pics but I think I got some good ones, hope you enjoyed them (and also my mini rant about gloss black wheels too)

Hey K, how are you doing, my friend. Thank you for the cool photos. *And letting us know how much you dislike gloss black wheels. :laughing: *

The LF-A is stunning. Agreed with the Legacy-esque Impreza design cues. I've always dig sport wagons, so the Polestar gets two thumbs up from me.
 
Hello there Noodle!

Something that close to the ground that takes a beating on a day in, day out basis shouldn't be gloss black, must be brutal to care for them, well for those whom do and we all know they will NOT be maintained, that's just from a care standpoint, then there's the looks, too shiney IMO.

Then you move into the interior, piano black on the IP and switchgear I.e. window controls or in the case of the new Beetle, where you rest your arm, are you kidding me!? I think gloss black interior bits look cheap, no matter which car they're on either.

Great pictures! Unfortunately for me i can only go on the weekend which means a ton of people and can never get a decent enough picture. Any Hyundai pics?

That Jag is beautiful. I agree that it isn't a proper Jag unless it's BRG. Throw some natural brown leather seats on a black interior and it would be perfect.
 
I didn't get any Hyundai pics but I did notice they've "blinged out" the Veloster w/ chrome or highly polished wheels...NOOOOOOOOOO!

The key to going on the weekend is to get there when they open, that's what we do and my God were there a ton of people coming in when we were leaving!

Yeah the gloss black wheel thing needs to hurry up and run its coarse, and to think I thought Pontiac was lame in the late 80's/early 90's with their body colored wheels, that pales in comparison....IMHO.

The Jag in real BRG w/ darker tan or "peanut butter" colored seats would be awesome, but with dark red seats. Come to think of it, that dark blue they had on the E-type would also look good as well!
