Raleigh Meet Recap, 2012



I was able to get most of the NC guys together for a meet here in Raleigh yesterday. We were asked nicely to leave the parking deck I originally picked but we found a spot very close and enjoyed the rest of our afternoon there.

I'm not happy with my pictures whatsoever but I'll post some of them anyway. Enjoy









































































































Those pictures are just in chronological order btw, nothing fancy.

I wanted to show these seperately though. Roger555 has OEM Audi S6 LEDs mounted in his front grill. He added an extra bulb to each individual housing so they are similar to V2 switchbacks. Look...











Pretty cool shyt.

My girlfriend showed up and brought our adopted Chihuahua, Cosmo. We all decided that he is the official Acurazine mascot

We wanted to see if he would fit in Ravin's wheel in the rear...







He clearly did not fit

Big thanks to everyone who came out to the meet! It was nice meeting new people and seeing old faces as well. I don't think we could have asked for better weather!

Anyone who attended PLEASE feel free to post your pictures here

My pics didnt come out that great, I just got the new lens and Im still getting used to it and the sun was screwing with my camera

The ride behind the man that organized it all:









The only 3G Ive seen with the MDX Advance wheels, and they looked perfect



Ive never been a fan of Vossens, but damn did they look good on this car



Concave FTMFW












Two CLs at a meet!!

































Last but certainly not least, Cosmo:



If I didnt post a pic of your car, its not because I didn't like it, but because the picture came out really bad.

Great pics guys...looked like a fantastic meet! Hooray for meet season again! Once we get past March here in CO (snowiest month normally), then the killer rides start to come out again. Although I've seen some sweet ones out already. Y'all should caravan to the National Meet!

Love the E30. I've been looking for one for a long time, but I only want a 5spd convertible 325i...and they're really hard to come by in good shape.

the MDX wheels look amazing too...Awesome meet!

I dont think the pics of that E30 did it justice. It was a 2 owner car. Never wrecked. All original paint on all but one panel. Razor straight body lines. Perfect panel gaps. Mint interior. It was a 5MT 325. It was gorgeous.

Thanks again for setting the meet up Tyler. Your photos look great, so give yourself some credit man! Morgan yours look good too. Mine were ok. I could have done better but the sun was defeating my camera and i got lazy.

Good meeting everyone.

that looks like a pretty sick meet you guys had. it's hard for me to pick out which WDP I like the best, but I will say the shot taken with the rear of ACCURATEin's against the rear of rptls08's is probably my favorite. I might not be a photo wizard, but to me all the shots look good!

Awesome meet pics! Every single car there is badass...and I love the rear end shots of the two WDP TL's. The height difference is crazy!
