GM Drops the Shades at HIN Night Shift in NY

It was an exciting weekend at Belmont Park in New York this weekend as the GM Tuner Tour dropped in at its first Hot Import Nights “Night Shift” event for 2008. The Night Shift events bring the classic HIN atmosphere out under the stars and allow the show to be much larger than any indoor arena can be. This lets attendees participate in more activities and have a chance to check out cool exhibitions like freestyle motocross, drifting and street bike stunt shows.

The GM Tuner Tour brought an incredible showing of cars to this show including Kat Von D’s Pontiac Vibe and 50 Cent’s own Pontiac G8. Of course Jason Whitfield’s custom LSJ swapped Chevy Aveo and the new 2008 Cobalt SS Turbo were on site and, with the SS Turbo rolling on the streets now, there was tons of buzz around it the whole night including a few guys that had already picked one of these up! Adding a nice treat for the attendees, Neil Tjin, and his Tjin Edition Tour, had his custom creations on display which include a Chevy Cobalt and Pontiac Solstice. The attention to detail on Tjin’s concepts is amazing and as all the attendees found out, definitely worth the trip!

The Night Shift events add a completely different element to the HIN scene and the GM Tuner Tour thrives in the wide open spaces, allowing attendee’s unfettered access to all of the GM Tuner Tour vehicles and the ability for enthusiasts to check out all the cars features in detail. With all the extra space available the GM Tuner Tour was able to break out the VIP Studio which had on display the gorgeous Pontiac Solstice SD290. If you haven’t seen this Solstice in person you’re missing out, as this custom one-seater roadster is a sight to behold. Enjoy the pics from the show!
