Close working relationships with professional in many fields definitely has its advantages.  Our relationship with Bridges Racing meant that we are responsible for getting the Achilles Radial Drift Team ready for Formula D Seattle.  After making the long drive cross country from New Jersey, their trailer sits in front of the shop, while the drift cars are being worked on inside.

Along with professionals in the automotive industry, we have a relationship with the creative and talented guys at Yaer Productions.  Connor Surdi took some time between photoshoots to come down to the shop and do a quick photoshoot with Daigo Saito's Achilles Radial Bridges Racing Lexus SC430.  Here is one of his photos,

You will have to wait until more of the photos are released.  We believe that the guys at Yaer are working on something special.  Here are some behind the scenes photos of the photoshoot.  

Connor started out by taking some shots with the long telephoto 400mm,

He took his time to capture as much of the detail of Daigo's SC, which currently sits in second in FD.
