There was still snow on the ground, but the Key to the Streets Car Meet took place indoors, so a good turnout was guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/meet\/key2thestreets20210220\/img_5017.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/benlevy.com\/4images\/img23362.htm\">Purple Infiniti G35 with Carbon Fiber Fenders<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>This meet took place in a former Sam&#8217;s Club in Woodridge. There was a charge for cars an spectators, so the quality of cars was a little higher than your typical meet. This Focus ST was one of the cars I had seen a few times in the previous year. The car had gone through a few iterations, but I think the styling was looking really solid at the meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/meet\/key2thestreets20210220\/img_4991.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlevy.com\/4images\/img23357.htm\">Red Ford Focus ST on WCI Wheels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There were a few JDM cars at the meet, but this R32 Skyline really stood out to me. The styling of the R32 is so timeless. It is a handsome Japanese car that is complemented by things like this car&#8217;s Work wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/meet\/key2thestreets20210220\/img_4846.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlevy.com\/4images\/img23416.htm\">Black Nissan Skyline with Equip Wheels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The R35 GT-Rs outnumber any of the JDM Skylines. This black and white GT_R stood out to me. The full body kit changes the look of an already unique car. The black and white color scheme on this car makes it look so brutish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/meet\/key2thestreets20210220\/img_5055.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlevy.com\/4images\/img23382.htm\">Panda Nissan GT-R with Team Elevate<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was not much of a shock to see one of Chris Hill&#8217;s cars at this meet. There were a few Supras at this meet, but his was the most extreme. He went all in on the A90 Supra when it came out. I have really been liking the Supras lately. I think they are going to be a staple of the import scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/meet\/key2thestreets20210220\/img_4882.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlevy.com\/4images\/img23398.htm\">Front view of a Widebody Supra with Pandem Bodykit<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This White WRX was a quick favorite of mine. I think it is a combination of me liking the looks of a stock WRX and really appreciating the mods on this car. I might just be a sucker for Roptiforms though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/meet\/key2thestreets20210220\/img_4791.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlevy.com\/4images\/img23385.htm\">White VA Subaru WRX with Rotiform R143 Wheels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I love Lancer Evo, so I was drawn to this car. I somehow missed the fact that this car was styled after one of the hero cars in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. I guess it&#8217;s been too long since I&#8217;ve watched that movie. The Red Evo was a welcome change because it started with a platform that had a true pedigree and the car didn&#8217;t go too far with outrageous bodywork or paint colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/meet\/key2thestreets20210220\/img_4859.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlevy.com\/4images\/img23421.htm\">Red Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 MR<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This wrapped Hyundai Genesis Coupe caught my eye because of that color. The Genesis coupe was not a perfect car, but we were so lucky to get it. The exterior modification on this car were relatively modest, but this car had a great presence. I hope I see this car some more this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/meet\/key2thestreets20210220\/img_4774.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlevy.com\/4images\/img23450.htm\">Custom Yellow Hyundai Genesis Coupe<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This bagged IS250 stoof out to meet because it looked so sharp. It&#8217;s not entirely fair. The XE30 Lexus is a good looking car, so you don&#8217;t need to do much to it. This car looked unique without looking ridiculous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/meet\/key2thestreets20210220\/img_4829.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benlevy.com\/4images\/img23431.htm\">Bagged Red Lexus IS 250<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it was a fun event.
