    SPOCOM 2017 | EVENT COVERAGE

    Some photos I took of the past Spocom show in Anaheim. I wasn’t planning to attend the show, but Phat had some extra tickets and we happened to finish eating dinner in the area. We arrived right before they were announcing awards, so I was able to get some pretty sweet photos with little to no by standers in the way.

    Clean Porsche bagged on OZ Futuras.

    Phat’s Cayman stuntin at the Braum booth.

    You already know what it is, IDL Design with that money line up. Starting with Jerald’s Rocket Bunny RC350.

    You already know the original internet breaker, Noel’s Varis FRS.

    Mikey’s famous Old & New Porsche.

    Joey’s freshly painted Q45. Looking real classy.

    How do I get into the bail business?

    One of the sickest FD’s out right now. I didn’t know so much awesomeness could be packed into one car.

    All my favorite shades of red.

    RYWire Integra, Spoon USA Civic and Evasive Motor Sports S2000. All looking real good.

    Toyo Tires always has the coolest cars at shows.

    Pandem E36 on BBS LM wheels.

    John Fob’s amazing NSX.

    The craziest car at Spocom in my opinion would be this E36 with a GTR engine swap.

    It’s been a while since John and Henry went to a car event, here they are looking hella confused.

    Two completely different styles, both on AIR LIFT.

    Wow.

    The best part of a car show is the roll out. Glad we got to see it on the way out.

     

    Ending it with the Central Pine Q45 scrapping in front of my Elantra. Hope you enjoyed the photos, thanks for visiting.

    SPOCOM 2016 | Event Coverage

     The last time Royal Origin was at SpoCom, we were showing Erick Wei’s S2000 with IM KING. That was back in 2011 and now in 2016 we’re here vending for their 10th Anniversary show. This year SpoCom rented the bigger hall in the Anaheim Convention Center and filled it! The hall was filled to the brim with amazing cars from all over Southern California and even better half naked models all over the show. There was enough eye candy to give you diabetes at this show.DSC07309

    Super packed.

    DSC07528

    We had Chris from Sterling Autocon show his Porsche 991 Turbo converted to full GT3 Cup Car.

    DSC07441

    Team Emperor brought out an array of fine EVO’s, I’m sure they took all the awards for the Mitsubishi class.

    DSC07293

    This Y34 was killing it on K Break Fiesta wheels from Style Sixty Three.

    Jerod’s sick bagged Miata NB on Weds Bazerias.

    I didn’t even know Tiana G was into cars, but I guess she owns this Lexus RCF on HRE wheels that was being displayed at Ark Peformance.

    DSC07211

    I remember seeing this crazy Genesis at Illest OC when it was green, now it’s even more bad ass with the satin black.

    DSC07275

    Yasu looks very excited to be here.

    I think most of the spectators come for this part of the show, the model bikini contest hosted by a go go dancer. There was a rule of no twerking for some reason, but these ladies couldn’t contain their ratcheness.

    DSC07317

    Our friend Krstina was a contestant trying to win some money to take us out for shabu. She was the winner of this contest two years ago.

    DSC07332

    Rocking that upside down 1 very proud. The girl next to her didn’t even tell her she had it wrong.

    Finally after some hand gestures from me and Abbitt she finally flipped it.

    Not really sure how they judge this, but we all assumed the girl with the nicest breast would win.

    DSC07378

    At least Krstina got $100 enough for three people to eat at shabu. 😉

    DSC07419

    Krstina getting interviewed by a homeless person, haha just kidding. I’m not sure what show he was shooting for, but he seemed like a nice guy.

    DSC07226

    Back to the car coverage with this R32 on Work Wheels at the White Line booth.

    The Pokemon GO craze is creeping into the car scene.

    SPOCOM 2015 | Event Coverage

     Better late than never! Not sure why I lagged so hard on posting this coverage because I actually enjoyed how the photos came out of my Minolta 24-85mm lens. The lens is small and it has a great range, but the best thing about it was that it only cost me $50 for this lens on eBay. Fucking deals. Anyways, it’s been about two years since I’ve been to my last SPOCOM. SPOCOM to me is a car show that uses models as their main attraction with the glits and glam of musical performances and dance competitions. I think most people bring their cars to this show because they want to win the big sword trophies which I’ve secretly always wanted.

    The crowd at SPOCOM is interesting, seems like they are not really into cars and are more into just being somewhere that they think is cool. The other portion of the crowd are the creeper photographer dudes. These guys are literally at every event, they are the hardcore fans of Import models similar to the Japanese idol otakus. These guys are the type of dudes that pay webcam girls that don’t strip. I’m a creeper photographer myself, but I’m more into watching these guys interact with the models. All in all everyone has their own demons, so who am I to judge? Do you. Anyways, on to the car coverage…

    DSC04789

    Niko Edition widebody 370z on step lipped SSR Vienna Kreis.

    DSC04790

    I always thought a wider 350/370z would look like a bubble with a wide body kit on it, but this kit pulls it off nicely.

    DSC04791

    O.G. Royal Origin shirt, it looks like he takes good care of that shirt.

    DSC04793

    This is just more confirmation that I need TE-37s in my life. What I love about the Lexus IS is that it can be a sporty build or a VIP build and will still look good.

    DSC04799

    On the other side of the spectrum, Matthew’s Fabulous LS430 on 20″ Fabolous Profounds.
