Wekfest San Jose 2013 | The Destination

By  | 

This post was supposed to be posted last week, but due to technical difficulties with our old hosting server we had to delay it. Hopefully with this new host, we are able to accommodate all the traffic we’ve been getting. The day of the show seems like a blur to me. I felt so rush throughout the day from going to get change for the booth to making sure I had time to get coverage of the show. My mind was all over the place.

I wasn’t able to get as much coverage as I wanted because like previous Norcal Wekfest shows there was just so many people that were getting in the way of my shots. So, please bare with me on all my photos.

221

Pure VIP’s 2IS on CCW. I really liked the front splitter to the rear diffuser, I want to do something similar to this setup.

222

The famous purpie.

240

I’ve seen so many photos of the Liberty Walk kitted M3’s that it’s starting to become a normal to see these at shows.

244

Giraffe style LS430.

276

It was cool how they had a giraffe display for people to take photos with.

280

Gerald’s root beer was getting a lot of attention.

282

Vinh’s ridiculously low STI.

294

Jeff, Ryan Gold, Rica and I doing work at our booth.

424

People were asking to get photos with Rica. #famous

388

We released our new Hoodratstuff tank top and our Set the Sun tee at the show. Which is available online here..

As promised we made it rain stickers.. Not many people were catching the stickers, so we flooded the floors with stickers. In the end though, there was not a single sticker left. #stickerhungry

335

Thanks for reppin Chelsea!

361

This Wekfest I saw a lot of crazy VIP builds and not the ones where they just have suspension, wheels and a JP knot. Real VIP builds with crazy attention to detail such as this LS460. I wish I had more time to fully check out all the VIP cars at the show, but my mind was rushing all over the place.

431

Another crazy VIP car is Sean from JDM Palace’s LS430. So VIP that the car gets chauffeured around.

790

Spotted Lance and Anthony sharing an outlet. A very romantic moment in WFC bromance history.

825

Never personally met Hieu, but I’ve met his car several times so I guess we’re friends? I love the color of his car and how the Work Meisters make his car look so bright and shiny.

256

Ojay’s Laker themed Previa. One of the few boss Vans out there.

348

Thanks for reppin’ Ojay!

353

Flew by the Fatlace booth and spotted Kenny working the booth.

372

Next to the Fatlace booth was Joey’s booth. I did a drive by shooting and got some pretty cute head shots of him.

373

Facebook profile worthy.

375

Still ridiculous every time I see this engine bay by Rywire. It makes me want to attempt this on the SC400, but knowing me I probably don’t have the patience or money for it.

364

Finally got to see Elvis’s LS400 in person. Looks just as crazy in person as it does in photos and with the new Work Meisters it is definitely one of my favorite LS400s right now.

367

Futura brakes and Work Meisters are the definition of baller.

347

Michael Mao’s award winning NSX. Not going to be surprised if he came home with a couple of awards.

265

ATS Garage brought the heat with all of their builds. A lineup that would make all the Honda fanboys scream like little girls.

377

Evasive FRS with a huge crowd around it.

439

Dat and Jenn Q at the Fatlace booth.

440

Yogi and Kathrina.

445

A fish eye shot of the fisheye master, DJ Murdok.

447

A good looking bunch of guys. All homo.

451

The Stance Lab Mercedes on Work Cr- Ultimates.

458

The red car and white wheel combo is a classic on a car.

455

 This was definitely interesting.

464

Supermodel Rica was annoyed with me taking photos of her without setting up a session with her manager. Sorry. #nomorefreephotos

481

 Pandora One.

518

The oh so shiny EGarage RWB.

519

 The moving mirror.

741

Rootbeer CRZ.

749

Sandra Wong signing some posters.

750

Oh hai.

755

Hayle wanted some real photos, so she put on the serious face and did some serious modeling.

758

I call this the “wheel stepper”.

766

 The seriousness didn’t last long and the flamingo pose was back.

774

The Futura LS430 is probably one of the most godly VIP builds in the U.S. Everything from the headliner to the brakes makes me want to sell my soul so I could build a car of this caliber.

782

I guess this is the Subaru version of Elvis’s LS400.

793

Another shot of the Root Beer.

795

Our new friend David was nice enough to show with us at Wekfest. Thanks David!

797

Ariana Grande.

807

A more race car version of the Liberty Walk M3 with race tires and a long front splitter.

811

Courtney’s cool F30. I learned from her that all female tuners seem to know each other.

823

Dennis with his “take a shot with me” face.

839

Sweet drift S13.

850

Mark Arcenal’s Nissan Quest has come along way since I first saw it at Sema last year. One of my favorite VIP vans over here on the West Coast . I’m not just saying that because he’s my boss too.

854

 Salem’s TSX.

400

All gold everything.

776

Aired out IS. I gotta step my game up next year..

777

 Another shot of the Evasive FRS.

521

A shot of the venue when everyone left and the awards were being announced.

Girls are always on the phone, never knowing what could be happening around them..

503

Jeff”s “I’d eat it” face.

502

Brandon not enjoying the butt sex from Vinh.

501

No sun, guns are still out.

499

Actually ready for a photo.

 Out of nowhere a lesbian sex scene began..

496

Cheek to cheek… so sensual..

494

488

 The fam waiting for the awards to be over..

Congrats to Vinh for taking home 3rd best Subaru of the show and apparently the whole nation as well, that’s what the announcer said so we’re sticking to that story.

There is about 130 more photos in the gallery, so be sure to check it out too! Tomorrow, we’re going to have a special post with some cool photos taken of the Wekfest roll out. Make sure you come back to check it out!

I just want to travel and see cool things. Follow me on Instagram and twitter @nguminh and @thefoodadventurist.
