After the hour wait to get a couple blocks from the
freeway to the event area, i was greeted my hundreds of eager Honda fans that
were braving the heat just to see some amazing builds. This was the first year
having Eibach at Lake Elsinore and it was a nice change in scenery.
|
Eibach attracts people of all ages. Modified wagons
have become very popular lately in the stance scene, that way kids can wear
tires too
|
|
Eibach seems to attract huge crowds of people
from all over the country, making it the largest Honda meet |
|
The Honda crowd has always paid extreme detail
to attention to their bays. This Rywire E-AT civic bay was by far the most
impressive |

|
This very unique wagon was turning heads all day
long with a attention grabbing color scheme |
|
Very clean and simple civic representing NvUS |
|
Many cars are either loved or hated.I feel like
this civic fit into that category very well. The Japanese influences were very noticeable |
|
Ever Bonilla pushing the limits of what is
possible in a civic. Running extreme camber and offset. |

Super rare Lowlifecrooks edition civic |
|
There was a wide variety of cars, ranging from full
on race cars, project builds, weekend show cars and daily driven rides.

|
This year at Eibach the wheel game seemed to be
the best it has ever been, fancy rims were everywhere. These SSR's are a prime
example |
|
Michael Mao's NSX was constantly surround by a
group of people who were checking out the custom 24-karat gold plated,
re-barreled Mugen MF10 wheels |
|
A project car that just screams with potential.
Proving that not all good cars have to look perfect
|
|
This CRX takes clean to a whole new level, with
the K series motor and full leather interior. |

This year's Eibach event was the best one yet. The
vast variety of cars made it entertaining, never knowing what you were going to
see. The engine bays are getting crazier than ever and the cars are getting
lower and lower. Events like this really make you appreciate how much effort is
put into every build, no matter what kind of car they are. If you are looking
for inspiration, this is the perfect place to gather ideas.
