    Stick Em Up | Shop Royal Origin

    I just felt like taking some photos of our stickers for the online store and thought I share it here because the colors in these stickers are so awesome.

    Gold leaf with our Cursive HOODRATstuff.

    The dual layer HOODRATstuff script sticker. Only a few left!

    The ever so popular license plate. We re-stocked it with 4 different colors; gold chrome, chrome, white and brushed silver.

    Thank you for all the support!

  • EOS Showcase 2015 | Just Another Sinful Show

    EOS Showcase 2015 | Just Another Sinful Show

    I had the opportunity to attend EOS Showcase 2015 for the very first time this year. Just like going to any car show for the first time, you tend to expect the unexpected; however, having a show in Las Vegas is already expected to always be, for a lack of a better word, sinful. Well enough, after attending this non-profit-organization to help raise funds for student supplies in the campuses of South Las Vegas, it still never failed to be as sinful as anyone could expect. It was all located in a grass field at Veteran’s Memorial Park, in Boulder City, but I mean, come on, it is still Las Vegas grounds. It was one of the hottest events I’ve ever been to with 120+ degree heat waves, but when the sun set, the atmosphere became all GOOCHIE, and the guys from Lowballers, Low Motiv, VanKulture, and tons of other crews made sure the hospitality and the turnup remained trill af.

    Tons of cool simple builds like this DC2 Integra. Fully stock with wheels and drop.

    Jimmy the photo bomber always schoolin’ dem little boys on campus along with the rest of the VanKulture

    Where in Cali or any other state do you see a beer pong table set up without security or the 5-0 getting all up in your face? – Only in the city of sin.

    There’s Jimmy the photo bomber!

    This brings me back to the Manila vibes of car modding.

    There were all kinds of light shows going on. That’s a great thing about night shows!

    “$lopps? Where are you? Can you hear me? The bottle is almost done,” hollers Jeremy and Joe!

    Jeremy and his fresh kicks! Fun fact: the Lexus SC430 is ranked Top 3 Most Gay Driven Vehicles. #lovewins


    It was a pleasure meeting Abdul and his clean E39 540i from StanceBMW. Crazy how long you follow someone on IG and then getting to finally meet them in person.

    Meanwhile, at the Lowballers tent, there goes Gino and Vince just being bullies.

    “Aron, you’re next,” seduces Gino. Aron without hesitating responds, “Give it all to me baby! I’m ready! I got this!”


    AYYEEE! Low ‘N Slow Crew up in the heezy!

    Anthony’s R32 Sedan baby! Chivas asked him as he posed next to his car, “How do you visit the drive-thrus by yourself?” Anthony responds, “In reverse, BITCH!” And this is the face Chivas made.

    Team Mansu in the heezy my pimpen’!

    Hi Drew! I didn’t see you there!

    After polishing a couple Hennessy bottles and a few keg-stands from Gino and Vince, Aron’s horny side goes from 0-100 real quick. Tell him to pose for the camera – I dare you.

    Oh yeah, here’s Lance and Tracey, just being cute and normal. Fuckin’ Aye-ron!

    Meawhile, Lance brings all the boys to the yard with his NSX sittin’ on TE37 Super Laps.

    Damn it Jimmy! You got me again! Lol.

    This CD5 was an interesting sight! Pinoy pride pare ko!

    Food trucks were on sight too! I wanted to try a gyro but baby-gurl over there lookin’ at me all suspect. I’ll come back later when I’m not too turnt. Lol. But at the same time, Dre is lookin’ at me like…

    A nice group of friends just doing HOODRATstuff with one another.

    This is Britt. She a HOODRAT. Buh-leeh-dat!

    Chris flexin’ to catch Britt’s attention. He ended up getting arrested instead for possession of illegal weapons on his arms.

    Kyle hates how brutal the sun beats on his skin. But when the sun comes down, then the Kyle comes out at night. Everybody loves when the Kyle comes out at night.

    DJ Koshi stuntin’ around his Kosh-rocket. Come hop on fellas!

    Oh Chivas, you just know how to stare the clothes off of anyone you look at. Stop it! Actually, never mind – I kinda like it.

    My all time favorite car of the show was uncle Ray’s four-door Integra. There’s a lot more behind this car than just the bling-bling you see.

    Friends and family from all over help put in some time and effort into this build. This car has been inspired through not just the owner, but everyone else he put his trust into. When it all comes to fruition, you realize what an amazing image you and your homies brought to life – like this Chivas_Sunkist-inspired valve cover, to note one of many examples.

    When uncle Ray would get home from work, his homies start hacking up the car – to note another example, the custom trimmed and diffused rear-end. It just look gangster AF. Everyone sure loves uncle Ray – I do too!

    Chivas and Aron posing in front of Aron’s laid-out Y50 M35s. The grass seems to be higher than Aron’s car, or the car is lower than the grass? I don’t know anymore. Fuck it, more Hennessy for Aron!

    Congrats to Vince and his crew So Proper for winning Best Crew Representation of the show!

    Joe, in his IS250, is still waiting for $lopps…still waiting…

    Here’s Avelino’s TSX from Lower Klass…

    …and here’s Avelino, Kyle, and Dre. Whatever else happened in Vegas that night will for sure stay in Vegas. So let us just wrap the coverage up here, shall we?

    I just wanna thank the Lowballers fam for always providing us with the hospitality, love, and affection we need. Thank you Jay Lintao from Low Motiv for hosting a great event! Cheers to you bud for hosting yet another successful year of EOS Showcase for 2015. ‘Til next year!

  • AUTOCON LA 2014

    AUTOCON LA 2014

      It’s crazy to think that the last time I was at Autocon was  3 years ago. Time flies by fast, one day you’re complaining about car shows the next day you’re helping host one. It has really changed my perspective of car shows and now I fully understand the stress and headaches of running a car show. I apologize for what I’ve said back in 2011 about this show. I was young, dumb and a wreckless keyboard warrior. Even though apologies are way too late now, I hope this picture of a sad chocolate Labrador will make up for it.

    cute-sad-puppy-face

    The morning started like every other car show, early as fuck roll in. The process for check in was pretty quick and we got set up within 20 minutes of checking in.

    140

    Hundreds of cars were pouring in through this gate. I hate commenting on about cars because all I can really say is what kind of car it is and what wheels it has. So, I’ll just comment here and there if I really have something interesting to say.. which is never.

    I want this diffuser bad.

    So many Lambos at the 88 Rotors booth. That whole section was money.

    Mismatched wheels? You’re totally going to lose some style points when the judges come around.

    Marcus Cooke’s supremely clean G35 now on Air Lift. Height looks the same to me when it was static, but a mm of clearance makes all the difference to the driver.

    Car show people are serious. If only they kept their homes as clean as their cars. Am I right ladies?

    I believe this is a Mini Cooper truck? This thing rocks.

  • Formula Drift Long Beach 2014 and Offset Kings Show Case

    Formula Drift Long Beach 2014 and Offset Kings Show Case

    I feel like I’ve been covering Formula Drift Long Beach for a while now. Not much has changed, maybe different cars but the same vibe. Seems like every year I get less and less content because I end up having other priorities on my plate. This year it was the first time I was working with a company that had a booth in the vendor aisle.  So my deepest apologies if there isn’t that many photos.  Just kidding, I don’t really care what you think. Enjoy the photos though.

    Low Beachin

    I’ve been missing the Lowballers lately; it’s been a really long minute since we hung out. In our honeymoon phase, we saw each other every week. One week, we would make the trip to Vegas and the other week, they would come to Cali. Nowadays, we rarely get together, but when we do, it’s epic. Gerald and Chivas came down for Nisei and since we were at the Infamous, we didn’t get to hang out that day. The next morning, Gerald hit us up and we did some old school bromancin’.

    Gerald wanted to show us how he get’s down.

  • Thursty Thursday.

    Thursty Thursday.

    Water rolled down our faces, and our worst fears became reality when the rainy clouds appeared. All week long, the summer rays were shining bright as ever, but on the night of our meet, nature decided that it was thirsty for some rain. Hours before the meet, we were still debating whether or not we should have the meet or postpone it because at 9pm, the weather forecast predicted thunderstorms. Like all of our previous meets, we decided last minute that the meet would continue and we didn’t really care who came out because we had to get our Peach Me Sweatea fix. I rolled up early and to my surprise, there were already a gang of cars. I didn’t know there were people as down as us to kick it even during thunderstorms.

    Cars were constantly coming through; the Tastea lot was overflowing with rain and cars, so people started parking in the fire lanes and handicap zones.
