Import Tuner Feb. ’09 Cameo Feature – Team Hybrid & Hybrid Hunnyz

In Import Tuner February 2009 issue, pgs. 014-016, there is an article about 2NR10YR anniversary, Hollywood, Ca. There are event pictures of Team Hybrid’s display of cars on top of page 015 (from right to left) of the G35 built by Alvin P., EVO built by Paul Gongora, tC built by Frankie P. and EVO built by Michael Eaddy. Then there are various pictures of Hybrid Hunnyz, Lisa Kaye and Amber Scott on all 3 pages 014-016 who were requested by Import Tuner to be on the main stage go-go-ing for their 2NR10YR anniversary party. Lastly, there is a Team picture of us on page 015 which I hope all of you who were in the picture to be proud of.

Import Tuner wrote, “SoCal’s Team Hybrid owned the event early-on, packing the club’s lot full of First Place and Best of Show winning rides that you’ve been ogling at on our pages for the past year….”

Import Tuner also wrote, “Inside, the buzz was no different. Remember last month’s 10 hottest models? Yeah, well Sasha (Hybrid Hunnyz), Courtney (Hybrid Hunnyz discovered 1st by Team Hybrid), and Sunisa were there, as well as some Hybrid Hunnyz go-go-ing the main stage… The VIP list read like a “whos who” of the import industry…”

This was another great article and opportunity provided by one of THE most legendary import industry teams who is still the oldest, finest, innovative & well-rounded team in import history. Why can we continue to make such a statement? Look at the pictures and what is written in Import Tuner. We owned the night in every way @ a historical event in one of import history most important magazines.

Team Hybrid continues to provide our members & hunnyz value and those who believe, like the ones that showed up to Import Tuner 10th Year Anniversary Party or those who are current members/probies, and trusted me to make all the things you see in this article finally come true, will continue to see how influential and strong our brand name has become.. esp. in building their car as a hobbie and/or import career.

Turbo Jan. ’09 Cameo Feature – Archie Concon’s Mirage

Congratulations to Archie Concon’s 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage for being featured in the event coverage of Import Showoff Nisei Week (August 16, 2008) in Turbo Magazine January 2009 Issue, pgs 070-072. Not a full feature but a good start & indication of what is to come for our team in 2009. With the new face lift Concon debuted @ SEMA 2008, I’m sure there will be more full features or covers on his Mirage. Good job on continuing to represent esp. for the Las Vegas Chapter.

Modified Dec. ’08 Cameo Feature – Archie Concon’s Mirage

Congratulations to Archie Concon’s 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage for being featured in the event coverage of Mitsubishi Owner’s Day 2008 (MOD) in Modified Magazine December 2008 Issue, pgs. 094-096. Not only is he featured in this MOD event coverage, but he also won Best of Show @ this 4th annual event amongest hundreds of Mitsubishis from all over the US. Archie is on fire right now tearing up the pages of all the major magazines. He still has one more full feature coming in Fast Fours Magazine (Australia) and we hope it comes out January 2009 so we can start the year on the right foot. If not, look out for more to come from this re-done Mirage. In 2009, we plan on making another hugh wave with this re-done new look esp. w/ BFG’s 2009 show/race season. All of you have seen the new look @ SEMA 2008 and the car literally looks like it is on fire now. Thank you again, Archie, for carrying on our tradition (a decade) of building award winning/magazine worthy Mitsubishi.
