    Wekfest LA 2012 Part 3 (Minh)

    Here is the last part of our 3-part coverage of Wekfest. All I can say is that it was another successful show thrown by Weksos Industries. We usually don’t go out to shows and meets because we just see the same cars over and over and over again…not hating on the people that keep on coming back, but it’s just nice to see something different for a change. With that kind of thinking, I realized I had lost my way; I forgot that I didn’t go to car shows and meets just to show the world what I have been doing with my car. I also go to hang out with my friends, meet new people, and make bigger connections. I hope I don’t forget that again in the future. I’m going to just leave you guys with some photos that I shot for all the homies and future friends of Royal Origin that attended Wekfest. Enjoy!

    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!

    This past Thursday, I got a tip from a friend that Mr. Chris Foreman just got new wheels for his Z. After class, I rushed over to Ladera Ranch to see these bad boys in person for the first time. When we arrived, Chris had already begun to adjust his car to fit his impossibly wide setup. Full feature soon when his car is cleaned up and dialed in.

    It was the day of the monthly Thursday night Euro meet down at the Laguna Hills Mall, so Chris was anxiously getting everything ready for the meet.

    Balboa Chillin’

    This will be my little introduction here on Royal Origin. Over the weekend, a couple of my friends and I went out on a little adventure to try and look for some places to shoot at. We tried to stay away from those traditional parking structures that everyone seems to choose as their default location for night shoots. We tried some locations around the Newport area, and came up with some spots near Fashion Island.

      Here is Chris super slammed Nissan 350z. Many of you will think “wow, that car must ride like shit at that height.” Surprisingly, the ride on this Z is probably the most comfortable ride I’ve ever felt in any slammed car that sits as low as this does.

      His car is still a work in progress and you guys should definitely keep an eye out on his car in the near future.

  • Visiting the Paddock

    Visiting the Paddock

    Our Wekfest weekend began on Thursday night. The roadtrip wasn’t too bad, well for me and Minh it wasn’t. We were basically KTFO the whole time, while “Roadtrip Warrior” Shavi chauffeured us all the way there to NorCal. The following day I hit up Andy @Fatlace, and told us to slide thru the Fatlace Paddock and he gladly showed us around. We got to see all the cool stuff going around the shop/warehouse. We also got to meet a lot of the Fatlace Crew members who were very nice and welcoming. We kicked it there for awhile, took some pictures of the nice shop cars  and they even fed us some awesome BBQ! Thanks to the Fatlace crew for the hospitality!

  • WFC Venice Beach 2012

    WFC Venice Beach 2012

    This past weekend was the Wrong Fitment Crew meet in Santa Monica/Venice Beach. It was a highly anticipated meet since many websites, blogs, and forums were promoting the event. We all planned to meet up bright and early so we could all roll deep together to the meet, but that did not happen. Some of us met in Irvine and others met in Walnut. Fortunately, I live in the Walnut area, so I thought I could wake up 10 minutes before the meet-up time & still make it. Well, that was not the brightest idea. Since I woke up late, everyone else who was caravanning with us ended up being late as well (sorry everybody), and on top of that, the fact that I have an unfunctional car did  not help. We had to take two extra freeways because I could not use the normal 10 freeway (sorry again). But, after all the hecticness, we finally arrived in Santa Monica.

    We arrived around 10:30 A.M. Once we got there, our caravan was lost. There were so many cars coming from every direction, so we had to let people in between us. We waited about 15 minutes on the main street that led us to the parking lot, but we all ended up waiting for nothing because we soon found out that the parking lot was full, and the police were not letting anyone in. We somehow all managed to meet up again and parked in a parking lot across from the event.

    Wekfest 2012 – San Francisco

    Sunday, February 19th, 2012 was the day of the highly anticipated Wekfest 4 by Weksos Industries. This Northern California Automotive Show did not disappoint one bit. People from all over the country came to the San Francisco Bay for this event.  There were just good vibes all around. The amount of spectators at Wekfest was just crazy. We got to catch up with some old pals and we also got to meet a lot of new people! There were just good vibes all around.

  • Random Sightings at Rotiform

    Random Sightings at Rotiform

    Went to Rotiform once again, but this time to pick up a few items that were completed for me from when I dropped by last time. Most likely, be here a few more times in the next month or so.

    Check out the last time I went to Rotiform here: Visiting Rotiform

    This is what the Rotiform work station and some of the warehouse shelves look like as you take a walk inside. And here are some random sightings on a few items laying about the warehouse either to be sent out or completed for the future happy customers.

  • See You at WekFest SF 2012!

    See You at WekFest SF 2012!

    Royal Origin will be making a trip out to San Francisco for Wekfest this year. We aren’t exactly taking all our cars there, but just enjoying a little trip out of Southern California to visit our brothers and sister of the North, and those coming in from all over the world for this one.

    These are some of the places that we will be visiting or at least plan on visiting as we approach our final destination are the following:

    1. Fatlace Paddock – San Mateo, CA

    2. RWB USA Headquarters – San Mateo, CA

    3. Canibeat Pre-Wekfest Meet – Fremont, CA

    4. TBA

    If you meet any of us, be sure to say “hi”, and ask about our Royal Origin stickers we will be carrying with us, cause you could get some for free. We are pretty excited as for some of us going this will be our first time at the original San Francisco edition Wekfest (even though this is the alternate location now). So, we hope everyone else is as excited as we are.

    So I randomly dropped by Rotiform in Westminster, California to start on one of my newer projects and discuss some plans with them. And as always it was a treat visiting the facility and seeing what was laying around. Nothing but the best here.
