Thank you to everyone involved with the CECG x GTHaus Season Opener Car Show & Open House in Wood Dale this past weekend. It was great seeing the Chicagoland automotive community come together again for another incredible event.

The lineup of Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and WrapStarsUSA builds did not disappoint. From the atmosphere to the quality of the cars on display, the night was packed with amazing conversations and unforgettable builds.

Appreciate all the organizers, staff, owners, and attendees who made the event possible. Looking forward to the next one.

Huge thank you to WrapStarsUSA for taking me out to the Iron Gate Motor Condos Association Event on 5/9/2026 in Naperville, Illinois.

I had an incredible time surrounded by an amazing crew that truly delivers a white glove experience when it comes to protecting and wrapping some of the most beautiful vehicles in the Chicagoland automotive community.

From the stunning lineup of exotics and luxury builds to the conversations throughout the day, the event absolutely did not disappoint. Huge shoutout to Larry for saving the day and fixing the “L” in the Fast Lane Drive sticker situation.

The tacos were fantastic too, although next time I might need just a little more heat.

It was great meeting so many amazing people throughout the event and seeing the passion everyone has for the automotive world. I even had the chance to work a little Photoshop magic for a few people that ask politely. If you know, you know.

More photos are on the way. Consider this just a small taste of what’s coming once the full gallery is finished. If you would like see more of my work in the meantime, go to my webpage at www.matthookmedia.com
