    Evolve Film Concepts | Shop Visit x New Tee Announcement

    The Santa Ana winds have been terrible lately and it ended up affecting my blogging abilities and destroying the somewhat clean look of my SC400. My SC was in a pretty secure tent, but the Santa Ana winds pushed my tent against my car and rubbed out some parts of the wrap. Luckily, it’s a wrap because if it was paint, the cost to fix this would require me to take out my knee pads and work some night shifts. The homie Rodney aka Bruno Mars aka I wrap, but I’m not a rapper recently opened up a shop for wraps and tint. He offered to fix my SC door because he had some left over wrap and I gladly dusted off my knee pads in exchange.

    When I got to the shop, Rodney was working on making this truck invisible.

    You can see the damage on the top of my door, I started telling people I got it from drifting. I’m hardcore yo.

    Rodney cut the wrap under my body line to seam it and so we would have enough wrap to cover the door.

    On the other side of the room, Rodney’s partner Dan was installing a clear bra for this Lambo.

    Master at work.

    Just like that, my door was looking brand new! Disregard the mirror..

    Rodney also just finished wrapping his Cressida, so I had to get in a quick photo shoot with the new two tone wrap.

    Being old never looked so good.

    Paint The Town Red | Daily Life

    It’s been a while since we’ve done anything related to cars, so this night was especially exciting because we didn’t carpool to meet up. Everyone actually brought their cars out just like the good old days and it was awesome. The idea for the shoot was just to get all the red cars together for a video, but we got side tracked and ended up making a rap music video which you can find on our Instagram @royalorigin.

    My SC next to Brendan’s classic Supra.

    Red or dead.

    Brendan checking out Ashton’s recently finished Pandem E36.

    The Supra is still looking good as it did 8 years ago in the lair.

    Not red, but Keith brought out his nostalgic Accord.

    John’s Corvette which sounds like a beast ever since it got a cam install.

    A surprise visit, Phat brought out the Cayman. He got an oil change just to bring it out tonight.

    Red never looked so good. Thank God Ashton didn’t stick with the blue.

    You already know the plug’s vehicle, Rodney’s Cressida.

    Man this photo is so cool. I wish I brought a tripod so I didn’t have to shoot with such high ISO.

    Got some shots in with the 135mm, but people were already leaving, so I didn’t get that many photos of their cars.

    Derek’s Cressida, twinning with Rodney but it looks alot better because of the black trim.

     

    Brandon’s never finished IS300.

     

    Shout out to everyone who came out tonight! It was good hanging and we should definitely do it more often!
