Some photos I took of David from 714 Tire’s Audi wagon on RVL center lock wheels. Pretty crazy a company now makes center lock adapters, so you can rock center lock wheels on a 5 lug car. Check out some center lock car porn below..

Some photos I took of Sara after our Christmas party. Enjoy! 
How Sara goes down a twin slide.
Lazy photography.

I’ve been working at 714 Tires lately and started to sell some HOODRATstuff merchandise out of the shop. So, if you need stickers or lighters come through 714 Tires!
Max reppin’ HOODRATstuff on his Miata.
I get to enjoy a beautiful sunset and modified cars everyday.
I also have a lot of time to work on my SC. Coming soon…
After work I met up John, Shavi, Phat and Aimee at Maes for dinner. John’s beautiful Corvette.
That gold mosaic tho..
Phat ready to destroy some pancakes.
John Wayne’s favorite and country fried steak. Delicious.
Also equally delicious, Shavi.

While eating Pablo mini cheesecake in Akihabara, I thought it would be awesome if I could shoot a car in the busy Akihabara street. Five minutes later and God sends me a Veilside FD waiting in the streets for me to capture it’s beauty. Check out the photos I took of this awesome opportunity. 
Being able to go to Japan as many times as I have has been such a blessing. Shout out to my wife Julia for letting me go and taking care of things at home for me. Going to Japan is such a normal occurrence for me that I know how to get around Tokyo without Google maps now and I’m not afraid of not having internet. 
This is the photo that everyone takes to prove that they travel.
First things first, we went to Tsukiji fish market to try eat some fresh raw fish. Even though this is a photo of strawberries.
Grilled scallops and uni! Delicious.
Fresh fish for sale everywhere.
Me and Kevin got a maguro bowl for lunch and it was so good!
So simple, yet so good.
We also stopped by Odaiba mall for some yakisoba noodles. Watching Kevin use chop sticks was funny until he started using it better than me.
I realized I paid for noodles, cabbage, bean sprouts and an egg.
This mall has some levels to this shit.
What most people come here for..
This might be the last time I see the life size Gundam since it’s going to be moved this year.
We met up with Ryo and the creator of the “lowcool” phrase Shingo.
Shingo drives a lowcool Legacy that you might have seen me post about on a previous trip to Japan.
Ryo was driving a customer’s IS that was rocking the Lexon wide body and on Work wheels.
Thanks for dinner Shingo! You are so lowcool.

I had to wake up early to take my wife to work, so I decided to take advantage of the empty streets for a photo shoot with the IS250.
AIMGAIN kit provided by KYOEI USA. Hit them up for all of your VIP needs.
The Robros GTR got some love today because Dax wanted to do a photo shoot of it. So, Jason had to brush off the dust off the GTR because it has been neglected for a while. 
The RO bros have been busy with work, so the GTR hasn’t been getting any loving. Usually it’s always clean.
Jason the mechanic, the detailer, the vinyl wrapper, the air installer, the painter and more. He’s the man behind the build of this GTR.
Jason’s turbo Wrangler.
All black and wet, just the way we like it. Wait what?..
Jason was so detailed with this wash that it end up taking 3 hours.
Prism Shield for that quick wax shine.
The sun was setting when Jason finished washing the GTR.
Sunsets are the best when it’s with a GTR.
The ROBROS GTR and Jeep.
We decided to go for a quick spin to get some rollers of the GTR.
Man it is so cool to see this car rolling, too bad my photography skills were not up to par.
Dax ended up canceling on us. Oh well, at least I got some good shots haha.

I have this dream on the regular, where I go to school and I always miss one class period. Through out the day, I have the feeling that I know I missed going to one class and I won’t be able to graduate. It’s a really weird dream. Well this post should reflect why I have those dreams. This blog post is a post I made in 2015 and never edited it. Let’s catch all the throw backs in these photos.
Hayle looking skinny in these shots.
My AIMGAIN kit wasn’t on yet and the Work Meisters didn’t get refinished.
Ryo was still around!
Hayle had more time to moon walk everywhere.
Shavi was still unemployed.
Man, even I don’t have that jacket anymore.
I miss you Ryo.
Simpler days.
Abbitt doing videos???? Whoa.
Wow, we were hanging out and shooting cars.It was a good life.
Abbitt was still blonde..
Nimo didn’t look like Kat Williams yet.
Lol what the fuck.
Damn LA wall art is intense.
Derek wasn’t working full time and had time to go hang.
This is also Nimo before the trap days.
When I had time to go out to LA late just for a grilled lobster cheese.
hahahahaahah the prince!!
Thank you dreams for making me work.

Nimo was having a feels trip and wanted to go back to the “Lair” for a photo shoot. He hasn’t done one with his wagon and I had the itch to shoot, so it was a perfect combo.
We were popping some cherries tonight because John and Henry have never been to the “Lair”.
My IS250 on Work Meisters and an AIMGAIN kit.
Henry’s GS finally has wheels again!
Bagged on Koenig Monsters.
Bolsa boyz.
One of those days when John’s wheels aren’t caked with brake dust. You should buy a lotto ticket on those days.
Double cookie Oreo. Does that exist?
Act natural? hahaha.
That tuck…
I missed you lair, I missed the late nights and I miss the memories of all the friends I hung out with there. Thank you for providing us a great place for some HOODRATstuff.
Met up with Sang, Abbitt, Phat, Vu, Nimo, Shavi and Rodney at Tastea for some good old fashion parking lot loitering.
Check out that circular bokeh in the background.
Lady killer Vu texting all his tumblr girls.
Restock coming soon..
Reality is wrong, dreams are for real.
Once in a while I actually wash my wheels.
John does too, but today wasn’t the day. Check out that custom JDM brake dust action on his Rotiform wheels.
