For two years Ben was a monthly columnist for Modified Magazine writing his “The Real JDM” reports. The Real JDM became extremely popular amongst those who enjoyed high quality Japanese tuning. The column featured insight from Japan’s top tuners, exclusive behind the scenes access and unique editorial perspective on design, tuning trends, and cutting edge JDM tuning techniques. Not just the content but the photography was exclusive and from Ben’s own camera as well as the personal cameras of top industry tuning companies like Top Secret, Mines, J’s Racing, Ings, etc.
