To continue the new style performance shop Vivid Racing has created, we wanted to showoff our logo in a artistic fashion. One of our performance specialist, Sean (sean@vividracing.com), is actually a graffiti artist. This weekend they put up this logo break out piece above the dyno. It was quite a process to watch!  Sorry for the iPhone pics…

Enjoy the pictures…

Automotive culture and lifestyle has always been a cross bread of different styles.  One common thing with automotive enthusiasts is there desire to stand out and differentiate themselves from others.  Car colors and modifications have become a way to personalize and demonstrate your individuality.  Crossing into car culture is a little bit of fashion and for some of us, the street culture.  Inspirations of loud clothes, shoes, and hats is how individuals grab attention when not in their vehicle.
