The way you go about getting your vehicle in a magazine
would be a few processes actually. The most simple one is
the section that a lot of magazines feature for readers
rides. You just simply snap off a decent picture, right a
little catch about it, and send it in and hope that insert into
that area.
But basically for the most part to get into a feature your
vehicle just has to get the proper exposure. You go and
compete in shows. At most car/truck shows a lot of the
magazines show up there for that particular reason. Just to
find vehicles to do features on or for show coverage
(Lowrider Magazine, Truckin, Street Trucks, MiniTruckin,
and the same goes for the import scene) to put in the
magazines. There are a lot of online magazines that do the
same such as dropjawmag.com hotridesmag.com among
many other ones. Very rarely can you just call into a
magazine and say "Hey, my ride is magazine material.
Come photograph it." You have to think, what makes you
anymore special than those guys that have rides as nice as
your that actually attend to the shows. Thats kinda the
criteria for getting into magazines, is attending the show
scene and parti[censored]ting. Then what happens is when you
become the type of person that is known for building
insane rides, for example, Matt Spence (Spencive Rydes).
He is known for building some insanely custom rides
without hesitation to cost. He is the top of person that can
call up Truckin' and say "Hey I built another one", but he
also goes to just about every show possible on the show
scene as well..
So in short your answer is exposure!
