yeah lets see your car... when you think you're ready to be featured in a magazine it usually means you still have a ways to go... you have to go above and beyond

i have seen hondas that does not belong in magazines. You just need exposure. Bring your car in events as much as you can. The more they see your car the more they will recognize you.

post up some tight pics on here of your car
let people tell you how cool yoor car is
and someone on here has to work for a magazine or knows someone that does
they give you a call
then just wait for the mag to get printed

Well it usually helps to either yourself be able to take really good pics or know someone who does. If neither one is applicable then you could check your local yellow pages for some photographers to take some professional pics. IMHO i've seen alot cars that in real life they didnt really look all that hot, but once they had some really good pics of them taken the car just looked amazing. The same can also be said for vise versa.

I would get some good pics made and then call/email whatever magazine you want and try and find out through them how to submit your pics. If they seem like they arnt willing to help then screw them and find a different magazine.

From what I can see(exclude'n your new mods) your car looks good. Its better than my DA. Good luck

Why CAli huh? I dont get it... People from different state work hard, earn some hard money to fix up the car.. Im tire of reading the car magazine say the car located from Cali.. GIve me A DAMN BREAK.. Why dont the publisher share with other people car's in different state? Oh by the way Im not cali hater.. I love to see people ride but not in the same state..

Car Meets and Hin, Do some photoshoots of your car and you will catch a person who will want to do a coverage

yea i talk to the editor at honda-tuning mag occasionally about "features"
and i know Rodrez here is a photographer for the mag etc

I told him he needs more "east coast" rides
they stated that its really due to costs and bringing photographers OUT here.
