I would like to introduce to you this super dope/clean/proper s2000 owned by Michael Mao. It was a pleasure meeting and talking to him. Although it took us three times to get this shoot done because of conflicts in our schedules, it worked out perfectly in the end.

Here he is showing support & rockin’ a Stance Nation Tee. Be sure to catch him at some of the shows and don’t be afraid to say whatup!
Sitting Right:
CCW Classics
18×10.5″+35 (Custom polish / with gold reivits )
Falken fk452 255/35/18
Tein Flex Full Coilovers w/ EDFC
Fitment is spot on. The front fenders were custom shaved to fit this tire/wheel combo. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen anyhting like it, and it looks sick! The polished CCW’s compliment the red so much that its a perfect match for this car! Gold rivets are a subtle touch that require a closer look, but they manage to stand out so much to all of us who know anything about CCW’s.
The sun was going down and we had to take some more shots of this beauty in the sunset.
Riding with Style:
Bride Zeta 3
4 pt. Cucso Cage
This car feels at home here in Long Beach, a perfect beach cruiser that turns heads everywhere he goes. Not for long though because Michael is planning on going boost sometime in the future and seeing even less of the public road by turning this beast into a track monster!
Looking Good:
AP2 “CR” Front Bumper w/ APR Splitter
OEM Side Strikes
VIS Mugen Hardtop
OEM Style CF hood
J’s Racing Rear Diffuser
In my opinion, this car has a certain quality that makes it unique. Its very simple in its execution but every time I walked around it I wanted to take more pictures! I didn’t want to miss a single angle.
It was a pleasure shooting this car and I would like to thank Michael for being so cooperative throughout the shoot. This is not the end of this car and you will see his car in many more features to come so keep an eye out for that!
More shots will be posted on my Flickr/Parkhard!
