StanceNation Showoff: Nisei Edition 2015 [Gallery]
Early August in Los Angeles means many things to local Angelenos: Dodgers games, making use of that Disney annual pass and that unescapable dry heat. This year, we got hit hard. For Japanese-Americans, this time of year also signifies the celebration of Nisei Week and to coincide with the festivities, the long-standing Import Showoff event (known best as Nisei Showoff) sets up shop in the heart of Little Tokyo to bring car enthusiasts together for a competition to see who'll land the bragging rights of having built the best car for that season. The show has evolved the past couple of years, teaming up with StanceNation, bringing two different camps of car enthusiasts together: those who follow a more traditional style of building a complete car and those who go low and bolt ultra wide wheels with thin tires on. Merging these two radically different car cultures has effectively created the StanceNation Showoff.
