Kultured's founder is from the island nation of Guam and so we've taken it upon ourselves to highlight the West Pac clan and their distinctive culture from time to time. Let us know if you guys wanna see more of this!

Guam's stanced and fitted scene slowly started to surface only a couple of years ago in the U.S., through online forums, media and blogs and it has since gained momentum and recognition for some of the dopest rides in the west. Rightly so, because the Asian market has a such a strong presence and influence on the island, being so close to Japan. That means that all that dopeness hits the island well before it makes it to the mainland and this is evident in the rides the che'lus push.

This beautiful IS, owned by Marvin, is a fine example. The caliber of the cars coming out of the Marianas is too dope for words! Which is why we're gonna let the pictures do the talking.

The grand opening of Illest OC was dope. I have no other words to really describe how great it went. It’s very rare that people will have such an amazing opening with a following and support group that Illest has. Mark Arcenal is the man opening a new store that not only promotes fashion but combines different aspects of art and car culture and so much more into a single stop.

 There are many platforms out there with an infinite amount of potential but a severe lack of presence in the car scene; cars which are seemingly born to be modified but are so rarely done that you have a better chance of seeing Olivia Wilde ride by on a unicorn than to see a clean example of said chassis.

It was just a few months ago that renderings began to circulate the web; images of an E92 M3 with bolt-on fender flares that challenged the likes of Rocket Bunny and Rauh Welt (RWB) were  inciting intense anticipation across the automotive aftermarket.
