  • SEMA 2012

    SEMA 2012

    SEMA is an event that everyone in the car industry wants to go to, whether it’s to display their new products, show off new builds, or just to connect with other companies by partying it up in the clubs. Shavi, Keith, and I were able to make it to the last day of SEMA. We kind of got lost walking around the gigantic show and only took photos of things that caught our eyes. It’s either shiny, slammed, or has boobs.

    Not sure what kind of truck this is, but it looked pretty cool. On hydraulics, maybe?

    EGarage’s RWB was chillin’ outsite in the Toyo tires booth.

    Honestly, I just wanted a photo of Fatlace’s GTR, but she insisted on me taking a photo of her with it.

    One of the cars that I was super excited to see was Fatlace’s Ben Sopra GTR.

     Seeing the teaser photos on Instagram was enough for me to skip work and school to go to SEMA to see it in person.

    Rocking some classy Work  Gnosis GS-4.

    The rear end is so aggressive! I love it.

    So much attention to detail to the lines of the body kit.

    Another cute Falken model.

    Liberty Walk Lamborghini Murcielago was another car that I wanted to see in person.

    This car was so awesome, we stood by it for a good 20 minutes.

     

     

     

    Feel bad for this Wald FRS parked next to the Liberty Walk Lambo, not getting the attention that it would have had it been parked alone.

    Sexy Ellen Navaro.

    One of the best builds was this Mercedes Benz 240 with a 2JZ swap on VIP Modulars.

    What impressed me the most was the IS250 interior.

    Very impressive. I give props to the owner for putting in so much work on this classic car.

    Another impressive Mercedes was this SLS AMG GT. Sorry, I couldn’t get a better photo but the model they had was giving a little show when we passed by.

    Can’t wait to see her at Spearmint Rhino.

    Lost.

    XXR’s wheels booth.

    All the 22″ and over wheel companies had the cutest models.

    This is nice…

    This is even nicer…

    This is the best! Vossen bringing the heat.

     GMG carbon fibered out R8.

     Hankook girls.

    Probably the best car of the whole show…

     Whiteline had Rene’s BRZ as a display.

    Jeren showing off his upper body strength and his 240’s KA-T strength.

    Vinh reppin’ DSPORT.

    Surprised this tracked out Prius wasn’t in the DSPORT booth.

    Hop in kids, it’s time to take a spin around the track.

    New Acura.

    Word on the street is that this is just an old NSX with the new NSX’s mold.

    Impressive…

    Color scheme is a bit off on this new Accord. Less red would be best.

    How the hell did they get this Genesis up there?

     Old school Corvette.

    Hyundai Veloster?

     Fatlace FRS, get the tissue papers ready for some FRS porn.

    Those tail lights are sick as fuck.

     The graphic design goes so well with the Rocket Bunny kit.

    Fatlace.

    Rear fitment.

    Cool skate deck.

    Forever top down FRS.

    It looked so futuristic for some reason.

    Lucas Oil FRS.

    Evasive Motorsports FRS.

    “Dat aero doe”

    Second place winner of the FRS challenge was this evil tracked out FRS.

    Looks fast, must be fast.

    The winner of the Scion tuning challenge was the Minty FRS.

    Reminds me of Miguel’s Minty Z, it even had the same steering wheel. Just needs some VIP Modulars and it would be set.

    Moon Eyes.

    Source Interlink’s FRS.

    Perform so hard, only need 3 wheels.

    More Bunnies.

    What is that beyond thy booth?

    A 1000hp Ben Sopra GTR.

    The red makes it look so sinister.

     

    Race car low.

     No clue who this guy is, but there were a lot of cameras around him.

    Rotiform FRS on Air Lift.

    One of the prettiest models of the entire show. Heavenly smile.

    I would date her so hard.

    Caught a glimpse of the man behind Liberty Walk.

    Falken had some of the models wearing a Falken superhero costume…I wonder why.

     THAT’S WHY.

     Pretty cool 1969 Ford Mustang.

    The new Mustangs look fantastic. I would not mind it at all.

    Only cool car in the Mazda booth, in my opinion.

    Dumped Subie.

    Time attack killa Subie.

    Clean 911.

     

    Wek Sos IS250.

    Bitches love Swarosvki.

    When Euro and JDM combine to make an awesome car.

    CR-Ultimates.

    Clean Blue Bird.

    More FRSNESS.

    Interesting S2K with cool body lines from the body kit.

    Right by it was this cool Mazda RX-7 .

    Audi Wagon representing Rotiform even though it’s not rocking Rotiforms, you should know Rotiform does a lot of BBS restoring.

    Sittin’ pretty.

    Pretty sweet bug on Rotiform concave NUEs?

     SEMA was an awesome experience. It opened my eyes to modify cars that I wouldn’t think twice about, like the newest Ford Mustang and the Hyundai Veloster. Hopefully next year, we’ll be able to go for more than one day and really experience all of SEMA. I feel like we really rushed it because we wanted to explore everything and didn’t get to see the small things at SEMA like the new products and the seminars.

  • Wekfest LA 2012 Part 2 (Angelo)

    Wekfest LA 2012 Part 2 (Angelo)

    Wekfest Long Beach was one of the most anticipated car shows that I have been waiting for. One reason was because I was planning to show my car, and another reason was because I  knew it would bring out the best of the best that SoCal has to offer.

    I was hoping to have a lot done on my car for Wekfest, but time was not on my side. I was really busy with school, trying to get ready for finals, and work took up all my time on the weekends, so I ended up not changing anything. I did add one big piece of information, and that is my car is for sale. That was the main reason why I wanted to show my car at Wekfest. I wanted to promote it and let everyone know that it’s for sale. But enough about my car and me, and onto the show. Wekfest was spectacular like always. I felt like it was better organized than last year. We did not have to wait a long time to get our cars into the show, and the parking situation was well-planned and organized. The finest cars came out and displayed what they had. I noticed that the VIP style is very popular this year, and is becoming something very main stream. There were also a lot of nice functional cars on display ranging from Subie track cars  to tracked out Civics. The styles of builds were endless.

    On to the pictures!

    I started off on the asphalt, where all the vendor cars were, and the first thing that caught my eye was this crazy Honda Insight. That is definitely the best-looking hybrid I have ever seen!

  • Autocon Collaboration 2011

    Autocon Collaboration 2011

    This year’s Autocon 2011 in Irvine, California was a huge success with over 4,000 attendees, 450 cars, 30 vendors, 15 food trucks, and many models who came out that day. We would like to take the time to thank everyone on the Autocon staff that helped put this event together. Even though, the focal point are these cars at the event, it is mainly about the donations and donated toys that this event was able to accumulate for the less fortune for the holiday season.

    Royal Origin & CO

    Here is my video coverage of the Canibeat and Royal Origin collaboration. Over 30 cars met up very early in the morning; we were even able to see the very last lunar eclipse of the year at the same time! Then drove down together as a group to roll in and organize at the show. Once again it was good meeting all our old and new friends to enjoy the day together, even if it was a very long day at that. This was an excellent way to end the year, before the show season starts up again in 2012.
