We know, there are a lot of auto magazines on the market, filled with a lot ads and a lot of... well articles and it is not that we do not enjoy reading it's just that we wanted to see more rides and these magazines always seem to leave you wanting to more. So we created one of our own, packed it with photos from car shows, events, meets, photo shoots, interviews, community submits and much more, printed on great stock paper for a great high quality finish and added a DVD with photos shows and videos just to see it all again in High Definition (HD). This is our preview edition, created to give you a taste of what is to come and to get your feedback on what you would like to see. Please do not be afraid to be critical we depend on it make us better and we wont let any praise get to our heads and stop us from pushing it to the limit. You can send any thoughts suggestions, complaints, corrections etc, to feedback@modz365.com we look forward to hearing from you! Get Featured There are several ways that you get you RIDE or Business featured on MODZ365.com and Modz Print edition.

Audio Video Creations Audio Video Creations is a custom audio and alarm shop located in Spring Hill Florida, not much really goes on in Spring Hill, so when you see their Xtreme custom Ford Avalanche parked outside the shop you are going stop and have a look, step into the showroom and you are greeted by a customized ATV, outfitted with some mean Kicker gear, black paint finish with custom airbrushed flames. Inside the bay we found one of their current projects, a red hummer that to be honest from the outside looks like a regular ride, pop open the doors and you will be blown away trust me and even though it is not yet complete we can tell that this hummer will be hit at the shows.
