Part 2: Bigger and Better

Now in it’s fifth year, First Class Fitment 2014 was the biggest and best yet. More event space meant more vendors, more great DJ’s and more of the finest examples of properly executed rides sporting aggressive wheel fitment. Enthusiast from all walks of the automotive community showcased incredible builds from different makes and models.. This year’s First Class Fitment (FCF) proved that the most aggressive examples of Form and Function can co-exist together, even if they are parked next to each other. The result is the best season-ending Fall Classic yet!

It truly must be a nightmare during the judging process. While there are plenty of folks that have tried to get into the show through pre-registration, it’s all about quality-over-quantity at FCF, and if you happened to put together an amazing build that met the requirements for approval, that is an honor all on it’s own. What makes First Class Fitment so awesome each year is not just hand-picked vehicles they choose through their pre-registration process, nor the details they put into the various aspects of the show such as the awesome custom awards they craft, but the “laid-back” atmosphere which is always perfect for sharing new memories with fellow enthusiast, friends and family. Good Times, as we called it in Part 1 of our First Class Fitment coverage is exactly why we always enjoy being a part Canibeat‘s event. Top to bottom, First Class Fitment never fails. It just gets bigger and better.

Can it get any better? You bet it can. Our favorite part of First Class Fitment is always the runway photo opportunities. The perfect Fall evening never fails to work in perfect harmony with the unique venue of Princeton Airport and the best rides the East Coast and abroad has to offer. Stay tuned for Part 3 of SNTRL’s coverage.

Congrats to JhonVtec on winning Best-of-Show with his turbo Mugen Honda Accord. Much deserved for the combination of planning, detail and execution that is evident throughout his Honda Accord.

“Big Wangs” had an impact for 2014. It wouldn’t be the same without some fine examples at First Class Fitment 2014.
