During out week out in Vegas for SEMA we decided to have our waddup wednesday meets in Vegas.  With the Help of Glen and the Vegas guys it turned out to be as dope as it is here in SD.   I really want to thank everyone that came out and all that help pull everyone together.  The VIP scene is growing and we all need to stick together and make thing happen though out this time.   Glen even got a Food truck to come out and serve some philippino dishes and snacks.  I got to walk around and meet a few guys and sorry if i forget your names but its hard to remember so many.  Alot of the people I saw out there were also people I have met or chilled with before like the guys from Squad one and of course goofy Oscar.  Since there was such a good turn out in vegas for this I think we will be doing it again but next year we going to bring the rides for sure!!!!  We didnt get alot of pics because well my bro didnt have his camera and we had a small point and shoot.  He was thinking that he needed to take pics of each car when he should of been taking pics of the whole thing as a whole with all the cars in the lot but oh well here are some snap shots of certain cars that he got.  Im sure there is better coverage somewhere hahaha.

Now this car is something different that we didnt think to see out in Vegas.  Cant wait to see the finish product of this President.

Everytime I see this car it makes me want a BMW.  I love the whole over all look to this ride!! Good job!

Here is the car that belong to the man that help put this thing together!  The paint isnt messed up and doesnt look like that its just bad lighting from the tree and when the pic was taken.  Good job Glen!!!!

You can check out all the other pics and I know you dont get the whole experience so I say be out there next year so you can see for yourself!!!!

Thanks,

Freddie

Here is one of the project that we couldnt finish due to the rush of SEMA and other things going on at the shop.  Alot of people asked about this car and well it has alot more then just what you see!!!!  We havent really got a chance to debut it correctly but you will see it at the upcoming show with alot more then what you see here!!!  STAY TUNED Because your not going to miss out on this one!!!

Blitz came out with full force this VIP Festival and set the Bar of this year.  He just got it done and we thought he wasnt going to make it but he got it done in time to be here.  Thanks Tony the ride is looking sick!

I would like to give thanks to Kevin and Chris for always showing support for AUTOFASHION.  Even through all the BS and what not alot of people like to talk we still keep in touch and respect each other as individuals and not listen to all the hype or BS that everyone is talking.  Thanks guys for coming out and supporting!!!

Now this car for the first year for the VIP Fest made it up the driveway without a burnout hahaha!  Josh’s car is so dope. Yes it looks plain because it doesnt have a kit but have any of you even looked closely to that car?  There is more detail in that car that make it more then just plain but VIP!  If you ever get a chance to see this car not in the rain you can appreciate all the detail that went into this build and Ill tell you there is more then you know…

Jin made the trip out to SD right after SEMA and Im glad he came out to the event.  We chopped it up a little and his build this year from last year was a big and I mean big transformation!!! Im sure your going to see alot of this car!

There are more great shots that I would like to let them speak for them selves and well here it is.  This ends another Chapter in the VIP Festival 5 and we cant wait till 6!  Be ready!!!!!!!

Now here is Oscar aka Pancakes! Q45.  This is a classic look for a classy car and if you see him when hes on his off time at the waddup wednesday meets his swag is even classy.  More to come on this car because there are things in the works so everyone ” DONT CALL IT A COME BACK! WE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS!!!!

Yes Autofashion had a line up of Infiniti’s!  Everyone asked “What happen to all the Lexus’s?”  They either sold or being worked on or the ” You guys focusing on Ruckus’s?”  Let it be known we are a custom boutique shop that works on all types, makes, and models…4 wheel or 2 it doesnt matter we love creating things that keep this industry going!  Foreign or Domestic Autofashion has a look for you!

Ok enough said and let the pictures do the talkin!

Autofashion is at it again!  Summer is coming and more and more shows are popping up.  Damn them for that but it makes this industry go round!  I think that we just go lazy during the winter and need to get back in to show season mode.  Encore was the Debut of the HKS ruckus.  We dedicated it to HKS USA because they might be closing down and we just wanted to show our support to them.  Even though we dont do alot of performance alot of it comes from HKS.  We would like to give a moment to say “SUPPORT JDM COMPANIES”  or else they will be gone and harder to get because its going to cost even more now.  Anyways Encore was a great event this year and had a blast chillin with everyone.

HKS Ruck showing off its stuff!  As you can see we have been posting alot about the rucks and well its our toys for the summer!!!!  Dont worry we didnt replace these for our VIP Cars hahaha.

The AFxFalkenxMonster Ruck showing off its fatty ass!

So im going to let these words by Scion Evolution let it end this post and Also at the end will be the Pictures to show you how the show was!!  Till next time!

WORDS BY SCION EVOLUTION BLOG:

ANAHEIM HILLS, Calif. (May 3rd, 2011) – Last year, Five Axis and Scion Evolution hosted an all inclusive car charity meet and greet at the Five Axis facility called Revue. This year they are back with “ENCORE – An Automotive Charity Shindig.” This star-studded event will be held June 4th, 2011 at Five Axis in Huntington Beach, California from 3pm to 8pm.

ENCORE is a charity event to raise funds and awareness for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). “This is our 2nd year with JDRF and we truly appreciate all those that supported us with donations last year. Unfortunately diabetes in children and young adults are growing in epidemic proportions, 25.8 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes”, says Nilo J.C. Miranda, co-founder of Scion Evolution. “We will continue to fight the cause again this year and hope to double the contributions we reached last year.”

For the second straight year representatives from AutoFashion, GReddy, HPI Racing, Island Motor Sports, Morel America, MV Designz, OEM Audio Plus, Optomize Scion, Monterey Park Scooter Works, Scosche, and Tjin Edition Roadshow are back to support the foundation, while new partners Clazzio Seat Covers, Daley Visuals, Flux Binding, Gurnade Design Firm, INNO, It’s JDM Yo, Loyal To Your Soil Apparel, Mackin Industries, Racing Solution.com, RAZO/CarMate, Sinister Skate Shop, and Yokohama Tires are putting time aside to raise awareness as well. All the partners will be donating their time, products, and/or services for the opportunity drawing, which a portion of the profits will be donated to JDRF.

It’s JDM Yo’s models, Chaba and Tracy Linh will be in attendance for those memorable photo opportunities, while Daley Visuals demonstrates how to wrap a vehicle using the hottest materials and techniques available today. Yoshi Nurijumi and his teammates from Sinister Skate Shop and Loyal To Your Soil apparel will WOW the crowd showing off their street skating skills. DJ YNOT and guest DJ Curse from the world famous Beat Junkies keeps things hot and grooving on the ones and twos. If you are hungry, sink your teeth into Orange County’s finest gourmet hot dogs from Dogzilla while Huntington Beach’s own Longboards Ice Cream will be keeping their cool with their homemade ice cream.

This is a must attend event, as Five Axis is a closed facility and ENCORE is the only opportunity for spectators and participants to tour the Five Axis facility. Also meet the brains behind Five Axis, Troy Sumitomo, whose team produced many amazing concepts and builds such as the rear-wheel drive concept Scion FR-S, Lexus CT 200h and the original Scion DJ xB.

Five Axis and SE are no strangers as a team. Together they have organized some amazing events, at SE’s 2-year celebration in 2006 the team had the unique opportunity to display all Five Axis Scion models in one common location, the Original DJ xB, the Speedster xA, and the Green Wide body tC. In 2007 the concept Fuse was on display at SE’s 3-year anniversary. Expect ENCORE to not disappoint.

ENCORE is free to walk-in spectators and a requested $10 donation for vehicles participating. This event is open to any year, make or model of vehicle. For up to date information, visit www.scionevolution.org. For vehicle registration, please email encore@scionevolution.org

About JDRF

JDRF is the leader in research leading to a cure for type 1 diabetes in the world. It sets the global agenda for diabetes research, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes science worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump – each day, every day of their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation. Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has funded more than $1.4 billion in diabetes research.

On May21,2011 was suppose to be the end of the world.  But on this day the only thing that ended was a great day!  Tony the man behind Its JDM YO! Website held a meet that exceeded his own expectations.  We would like to say “GREAT JOB” Tony for having a successful 1 year anniversary meet!  With the help of Scion Evolution peeps at the gate directing traffic and doing the hardest job there besides Tony’s Job. “GOOD JOB” Goes out to the guys up front!  With not knowing that there would not be any wind flowing through that warehouse, I decided to hang outside because I felt faint with all the gas fumes.  Next time S13 14 15 Oddyssey canyou not boost so much in such a small area.  We can see that your turbo built motor swap yadda yadda yadda.pshhhhhhhhhhhhhht!

I didnt make it around but the chronicles had a pretty nice section with only the top notch hondas from EIBACH in his area and a few non hondas.  The day went by pretty fast and didnt mind coming to the meet because it started late and well we didnt want to wake up too early to head over to hella flush.  For some odd reason I really feel not welcome to those events so why even go.

Lately I been in the FUCK YOU mood and as I walked around the meet people showed the shop love and well I like to thank you guys for keeping our stickers on the rides also all those license plate frames that people are sporting!  Someone once told me ” You need to give me sticker to put on my ride”  HA! fuck that we dont force people to put our stickers on or make it mandatory for you to sport it.  Once again THANKS TO THOSE THAT SHOW US LOVE!  Now on to the pics.

Check out Nitty sportin the AF sticker and showing us love!  Thanks again Nitty and next time let me know when you going to a show so you can park with us instead of by the port o potty.  Ride is still looking fresh as ever!

YOU KILLED IT KENNY!  Yes you going to say its just a tC but not only is it a tC but it is sporting Ordens with good fitment and airrunner.  Keep an eye out for this ride because its not done and far from it but we had to try to get it done for Tony’s Event.

I still have a soft spot for DA’s and this one is my all time favorite!  GOOD JOB! Also no NOS for you because you drive on the wrong side! hahaha.

This van is my favorite Styled Wagon!  I love a clean and simple vip inspired car without all the crazyness that people are doing these days.  I was talking with Crispy today at the shop and well you dont see a nice executed clean not over done VIP car.  This one is just a site for sore eyes!  GOOD JOB!

This Toyota Cressida spotted sportin the AF logo on his ride!  I forgot his name but I remember his face.  Car is looking clean and fresh! Keep up the good work!

Jon Jon’s car is looking better and better.  This ride has alot to offer and has more in store for the show season!  Good Job on the ride Jon Jon and thanks for the AF love all over the ride!

I would like to give a shout out to the homie Will at EXO SPEED!  His work has only been top notch and he has an event this weekend along with Skunk 2 for some drag racing! Go check it out I know I will be out there!  This Last pic is blurry but even with that it still says DOPE SHIT!  Proonzee LV Ruckus sporting the custom Exo Speed wheels!  Good shit Prunze!

Thanks again to everyone that supports us and we hope to return the favor once this economy kicks back in!!!

Rain or shine nothing would of stopped this meet from being the biggest and baddest honda meet ever to be put together.  First lets thank the people that put this meet together.  Without these people we wouldnt have this meet to go to.  Second lets thank all the vendors for making it out to the event this year and to give up great prizes worth its weight!  Third lets thank all the people that participated and payed for spots and showed up and made it a quick and easy roll in.  Without you guys this wouldnt even be anything because no one would be there!  Lets also thank those that came out to support the scene.  Autofashion will not like to thank any of the people rocking fake shit and fronting like its real.  We would not like to thank all the Haters that dont appreciate all the hard work some of these people have done to their cars.

With the Rain going on and off all morning that did not stop these people from coming , walking around, and taking pictures!  No matter what you have to admit that these are the baddest hondas you will ever see in person all in one venue!  Lets move on to the pictures!

I would like to personally thanks Nitty for Reppin Sick1Nine and Autofashion!  This is a S2K that has been around and is daily driven from work to home and to Target because I seen his ride over there hahaha!  I wont tell you where in SD so that you can stalk the ride and try to creep so dont ask!  AF x 5&DIME x Sick1Nina x Dude Blvd!!!

Now for being a sexy beast pushing some HP all motor all day you would have to look like the TANK!  Mike G has been such a supporter of AF since I met this guy.  His car is so dope and made me want to build a EG!  Mike always ask me when is the TANK KILLER going to be done but knowing damn well my shit will only be sitting in the background of this Icon!! Much Props Doggie!!!!

Here is one of the many builds that our good friend Leon put together.  If you know Leon he was known for the MUGEN Crx and this one is the SPOON Crx.  Leon has also been a Autofashion supporter since I knew him and His builds are always top notch!  Good job Leon!!!

RYWIRE CRX is one of the Icons of the whole Honda Industry still around and still looks so fucken dope!  I know Ryan has alot of supporters and what not and I just wanted to put his car up because I still love how clean and simple his ride looks.  I havent had the chance to get anything done by Ryan but im sure everyone knows his work and its top notch!  He is now located in SoCal and you can visit his site www.rywire.com and get some of his top notch work.  If you sit there and say DAAAAAAAAAAAMN thats alot for wires! please dont visit his site because you pay for his knowledge and work and he stands by it 110%!

Here is a guy that comes to the shop alot and supports us.  His daily shows that you can still rock a dope EG all day every day!  Good job on your ride Enrique!

Last but not least the BIG MIKE.  Big ups to him for always showing love to us.  This car is driven to every event and almost everywhere he goes.  So alot of people talk about show only you should think twice about alot of these cars.  Just because they are nice and clean at events they can hang with alot of the big boys out on the track.  If you think these are all show cars you should talk to them because these guys get their cars ready for the show events but working their way into the track with build after build.  Each one of these cars has something new added to them everytime you see them so dont think they arnt moving or doing anything else!  Keep an eye out for these car at the next track event!!!!

DPK davids car is a prime example of a car that will be hitting the track soon!  I was talking to some guy at the event and he was like these are show cars that just look good.  I agreed with them and said yes these cars are slow and wire tucks are over rated.  This fool believed me and I had to tell him ” are you fucken serious?  These cars are track ready but still puting more into it, Sorry not everyone wants to rock fake shit and buy a cheap ebay turbo kit and some bullshit performance parts in their rides!!! It takes money to get the right parts and not just putting together some ghetto race car.”  I was talking with Joey from the Chronicles and we both agreed that if that is our future we are FUCKED!!!!!!!! hahaha!

Thanks for the support everyone and here is the pics to finish off this rambling of mine plus Friday just came on so Im going to get High today!!!!

Saturday May14,2011 was the day of the Toyota Fest show in Long Beach.  Every year its sunny and hot,  this year it was gloomy and cold.  This didnt stop the masses from coming out and show contestants bringing their game faces on.  Even with the weather everyone seemed to enjoy what toyota fest always has to offer.  From Old to new and from sporty to Luxury, Toyota Fest had it all for everyones taste.   I didnt get to walk around too much because they wanted us to be there at 7am and from SD to LB we had to leave at 5am.  Then on sunday was Eibach UGH!  The things we do for the love of our industry!  If you ever wanted to see or even feel like you were in Japan this was the show to be at!

When I saw this thing I could not hide my smirk on my face because I find it funny that people are just catching on to this style and I remember these things in Japan.  Now to see them all dress the part will be money!

Stepping out of the box for sure.  You dont see this here in the US often.  I think the only time you see this is in Japanese magazines or some japanese car show coverage online somewhere.  Dare to be different and not everyone can pull this off and I think this person did a good job!  I give you 5 Stars!

Again Here is someone that decided to take what our fore fathers brought forth from Japan to the US.  Alot of people forget that they started this industry and that we sometimes forget.  We tend to buy brands that dont support them and then they go out of business or close down.  We have lost many of companies due to the flooding of fake parts.  We will get into that another day!  So this is all I have to say about this show and that I hope all the pictures can do the talking.
AUTOFASHION WOULD LIKE TO TIP OUR HATS OFF TO ALL OF OUR JDM COMPANIES AND TO THE FALLEN COMPANIES!

Enjoy – Freddie
