Wrong Fitment Fest 2014
This year is going by pretty damn fast, we’re already half way done and I feel like I haven’t done shit this year. Anyways life goals and priorities aside, last weekend we went down to Oceanside for the annual Wrong Fitment Crew meet. It’s usually a long trek down to Oceanside, but we do it anyways for the homies over at WFC. One thing you should know about being at a WFC meet, it’s like a 90’s rap video without the hoes. It’s really a day of good fun and cool cars.. We met up with the Low N Slow caravan, which had like 20+ cars, it was a pretty epic cruise down to Oceanside. Not much to say about the cars at this event, probably the same old cars you see in my past coverage.
Big fucking pipes.
Kirk’s STI. The most realest car enthusiast.
This Z makes me miss Chris Foreman. Looks like the same wheels too.
Grounded crew made a big appearance as always.
Eric’s Vertex IS350 on SSR SP3.
So many slammed cars.
This Cressida tho is too sick.
Thank you to everyone who came by to cop some stuff and hugs.

Wrong Fitment Crew Fest
Whenever Wrong Fitment Crew throws a meet, you should already know that Royal Origin will be there to support it. We’ve had an impeccable record of attending each meet that Wrong Fitment Crew has created since 2010. This year they held their car meet at SAE Motorsports in Oceanside, where the weather was about 10 degrees cooler and the roads didn’t suck. Once you pass Oceanside to San Diego the roads go from smooth to complete shit.
We created a caravan off the freeway in Irvine and a couple of friends joined us. One of the friends was Derek driving his super slammed RX-8.
My IS250, Adam’s Subaru and Derek’s RX-8.
Kentaro’s 9th gen Civic on MB Battles.
More people started to show up.
The wonderful S13.
One of the cleanest E60s out there and he was going to be caravaning with us.
Chris was tired of rubbing in the front, so he decided to run no fenders.
Keith and Marc decided to match today.
So did Ashton and Carol..
Jay and Heather..
and finally me and Shavi. Shavi was wearing black pants too.
Derek met up with us just to give us good luck hugs. He couldn’t make it to the meet because he had work later on the day.
Kodak moment.
Jay really going for it.. Kentaro looks real jealous in the back.
Everyone genuinely enjoyed the hugs. I know I did!
Another shot of Chris’s stupid Z.
As soon as we got on the freeway, we hit what I like to call a traffuckus. Traffic that fucks you so hard, you don’t even move.
I was able to squeeze some rolling shots in whenever the traffic cleared a bit.
Chris’s 350z looks crazy rolling.
and back to the traffic..
Stuck.
Once we passed the two boobs, the freeway was all clear for some nice rolling shots.

Bobby’s GS300
It is very rare for me to make my way down to San Diego, just because it is quite a drive and there is never really a reason to go there. But for a few days, I had to stay down there for some hospital interview, and on my free time I was able to explore a small portion of San Diego, mostly downtown SD. While I was there, I got to hang out with my buddy Bobby Bouaphakeo, who showed me a few beautiful spots in SD.
Bobby showed me a cool spot with a view of downtown San Diego. It was time to clean the car up and take some pictures before it got too dark.
Bobby supporting VIP Tint & Glass. Go check them out for true quality work.
As you can see, this GS300 is on air ride, which Bobby finished the night before we met up.
Bobby is an OG in Wrong Fitment Crew. Since I have known him, he has gone through a variety of cars.
Wheels tucked in like a baby.
Thank you for bromancing with me in SD, Bobby. Hope you like these pictures, I am still learning.

Living in Survival
Will we survive 12.21.12? Who knows? If we do, then this meet will be a party for all the survivors who made it through 2012. We will be having giveaways for cars that we think are cool, people who look cool, or just because we feel like it. We will also have Facebook freebies for all the homies who keep up to date with the site. Be sure to check back as we will be updating the details for the Facebook give away.

They Lovin’ The Crew
Wrong Fitment Crew is the answer to how Royal Origin members found each other. The forums was where Royal Origin members first started talking to each other and the first WFC meet was where we all hung out for the very first time. Any time we go and hang out with the WFC guys, it’s always a party and someone always has a bottle of Hennessy for us to sip on. This time was no different because as soon as we parked our cars, the party was on in Bebe’s Subie.
I almost forgot that the reason why we came was to look at cars, like this sweet RX-7.
Thao crusin’ through kit-less, but still turning heads.
Marcus making sure she doesn’t hit his car. Hahah.
Sick Miata from Jordan’s new crew, Swerve.

Told to them to look hard, I guess they thought I meant hard in their pants.

Turnt up, let’s get ratchet.

Royal Flush M5.
Baby boo Vinh on another set of Work 11r.
These Subies were lookin’ hard as fuck.

Low N Slow slammed Camry.
Charles Q45 even dirtier than I last remembered it.
MSM BROS.
We went on a little adventure to go find food, but most of the restaurants didn’t accept card except this one Cabo Cantina place. They told us we couldn’t order food unless we bought alcohol or something and that they weren’t known for their food. When we told her that we’ll just find another place to eat, she gave us a sarcastic, “Good luck”. Fuck that hoe because there was an Islands Restaurant just a block away.
We were going to get alcohol anyway, but being forced to didn’t feel right. It seems to be a tradition that we go eat at Islands every time we go to a car meet/show. We ate here for Wekfest LA, The Infamous, The Chronicles YEARIV and now WFC Crew Love. There just happens to be one nearby every time.
Allen ready for some meat.
John Park teaching the kids how to make Formula D ads.

So kewl.
Internet famous Xb. I haven’t seen it for a while.
At some point, Nimo was hella drunk and decided to do some hoodrat stuff and get his car in the sand for the most epic photo shoot ever. Getting in was fine, but leaving was another thing. We had help from Jimmy of Team Praxis to tow the IS300 out of the sand. Thanks Jimmy!
This is the ratchet mating dance. Used by ancient tribes when they were in the clubs.
Thanks WFC for the good times, it’s always a pleasure kickin’ it with everybody and getting ratchety. Miss everybody already! Remember to follow us on Instagram at Royal_Origin.

Mini Vinh
Our good friend Syo Kuwabara from Niigata, Japan has always been making incredible scale models, either based on real-life cars or creations that are original. This time, he made one that hits us at home with this 1:24 scale model of Vinh Luong’s Subaru STi on Work CR-Kai. You can see the time and effort Kuwabara put into it to get it just right.
You probably thought this was a real car for a very brief moment.
Even down to the very kit that Vinh is on is pretty accurate!
Rear shot with the exhaust. Such beautiful work.
This 1:24 scale model even has great fitment.
Hope you guys enjoyed this scale model, because we love scale models. Thank you very much, Kuwabara, for taking the time and effort to make this and even send us the shots. I know you made this for yourself because you love it, so thank you for the love.

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.
