These great victories were the first two to be achieved in succession by the frontier-technology Mercedes-Benz fa
BLVD Customs of Lakeland in Lakeland, FL, has just signed on as IASCA's most recent Retail Dealer Member, using IASCA competition and standards to set themselves apart in their market area.
“In today's market it's real easy to get lost in the mix of trying this and that to see what actually works for us" said Jon Lackey, Owner of BLVD Customs of Lakeland." After checking into the organizations that are designed to help the mobile car audio specialist build their company, IASCA and ICE both kept popping up. We wanted to get connected with both, but found out that ICE already had a retail member in our local marketplace and only one dealer is chosen per territory. Blvd Customs Of Lakeland has been around for 15 years in the same location. IASCA has been around for over 20 years and still to this day it's the 12-Volt standard we look up to, for doing things the right way.

FULLERTON, CA – From desert racing to drifting, Porsche 911 GT3 to Ferrari 458, Yokohama Tire Corporation (YTC) is busy tuning up for the 2013 racing season. “This will be an exciting year,” said Andrew Briggs, YTC director of p
March 8, 2013 – Daytona Beach, Florida. Despite its production weeks before the customary date, the Spring Break Nationals rocked the house with yet another strong showing of support from dealers, distributors, competitors and spectators. “I presume that there was trepidation regarding the date change” said SBN founder Paul Papadeas, “perhaps that’s why a few brands were absent from the show floor. After 38 years in Car Audio and 27 years of producing this consumer and trade show event, it has become very clear to me how to escalate the importance of SBN to the industry; I’ll have more to speak about that subject in the next few months”.
Scosche Industries, SBN Gigawatt sponsor for two years running, were joined by leading industry brands that have long discovered the marketing benefits of SBN. Several new exhibitors joined SBN this year. They include aftermarket wheel companies Lenso and RNR (Rent ‘n Roll) Skar Audio, Mobileye, Xtreme Camera Company (Fujita Japan) and Bluetooth Keyless all new to the venue. Along with these inaugural participants, newcomers LOUDFORCE (from Mexico) launched
