” I support Autofashion”

 Buttons to give you at the Grand Opening!

 Thanks – AutofashionStaff

Back to back shows Saturday was The Infamous show and then Sunday was Motor Union.  Motor Union is a good event.  BEER + CAR = Fun right?  The crowd was different because it had a whole lot of variety.  The good about Motor Union was that it was a DOPE event run by some dope people.  The Variety of people and cars was also a plus.

The only thing that bugged me about the event was the overly drunken people that were acting a fool.  Ill be honest if it wasnt someones friend or friend of a friend I would of beat the shit out of them.  Im sorry when it comes to drinking and acing a fool it doesnt mix well with us.  Drinking to have a good time yes to drink and act a fool well I dont think that I was in the mood for it.  It maybe that we been doing back to back shows week after week…I dunno.

This doesnt make the show worse its just that the experience doesnt make it better.  I hope that no one takes it differently we run a business and have to act accordingly to our business.  By us meeting new people and other people that are drunk come around and just make it seems like we are a bunch of kids well thats not what we are about.

Jay and the rest of the 5&ADIME people you guys did an excellent job and the show was great and the turn out was great.  we wouldnt mind coming back!  Also my comment above I hope no one thinks im in anyway talking bad about the event. The event and the staff were dope!  But some people just have to ruin it for some of us.  I am not the only one that felt this way and alot of people have approached me about the situation and this is why Im putting it up.

Enjoy!

Infamous show in long beach was to us a great event.  Everything went smooth and Mark and his staff were great people to work with as far as set up went.  I think out of all the event that Fatlace/illest/Hellaflush does I really like this one.  Even though it was hot it wasnt as bad since it was in Long Beach with the breeze.  DJs/MCs/Bboys at the event came out to be an interesting but yet dope addition.  Lots of dope HIP HOP and well they had to have some raver stuff but im glad it wasnt playing through out the show like some previous ones.  That gets annoying after awhile so hopefully its not like that at all the shows ugh!  Again Autofashion had a great line up with great friends.  Was another success for the AUTOFASHION books.  Thanks again to Mark and his staff!!!

Spocom 2012!  We didnt think we would be doing this show again due to the fact of issues last time we came.  To be honest Trisha, Romel, and Paul did an excellent job this time around.  There were small issues but hey …..What show doesnt.  This event went smoothly.  The crowd wasnt there like we expected but with the way the economy is and how tight people are with money, We were not surprised of the outcome.  We deal with that every day at the shop.  Here is the coverage of the show through Special Ks perspective!

Enjoy!

What can I say about Motion?  All I can say is that this event is still a favorite of ours.  This show may not be all the hype or crazy loud events like everything else but it seems way more professional and straight to the point.  This show still reminds me of that show back in the days that was like a mini sema called IMPORT AUTO SALON.   This is one of those shows that make you feel more sane and not have to yell over the loud music of club like scene.  But This one we had the opportunity to showcase alot of our friends and customer cars in our booth.  It was a nice display of dope VIP rides.

Enjoy!

Torc 2012 at the Queen Mary in long beach once again!  What can you really say about TORC?  Its a free event for all spectators.  This event isnt like every event this is where all the best of the best TOYOTAs come out to play and show off their skills and passion for restoring and building these bad boys.  If you missed it this year, you dont want to miss it next year.  These are the same people that bring over JCCS (Japanese Classic Car Show)but this is a TOYOTA event only.  IF you dont know what TORC stands for it is TOYOTA OWNDERS RESTORATION CLUB.  Top notch event with top notch cars.  From old to new this is the event you would want to go to for generations of all types of toyota and lexus vehicles.

This year had the same amount of people or more but it seems like there wasnt as many people because for some odd reason not everyone stayed as long as they use to.  Alot of vendors this year but not alot of promotion from alot of them.  We are sad to say this is the first in a long time that AUTOFASHION did not do a booth.  Why you ask?  We didnt do a booth because we dont get a return on the show but we love to support.  In the tuff times we had to cut back on some shows in order for us to keep the show season going.  Didnt want to take out TORC but since there is no return we had to back out of it this year.  Dont get me wrong we will do it again its just right now if we dont have the budget then we cant do it.

Well with all the talk here is the pictures to show you how well the show was:

What can we say but “DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN! THATS HOT!!”  This is a custom build by our friends at SQUAD ONE LAS VEGAS!  Props to JON JON and VIREAK!  In this blog submission we will show you the build of this beast.  I just want to say that these guys always show AUTOFASHION much love and that we try our best to give back to those that support the shop.  We may not be able to hook things up all the time but when we can we look towards our true supporters that stick by us!

Lets start off in the Beginning of this build.

Here is where it all started off… This is where everyone usually starts off and either they take it far or they just put it together and then done.  Not with these guys…I believe they are car guys like us and then there is guys that do cars just because its the cool thing to do.  This is what separates the men from the boys and the leaders and the followers.

So now that you seen what the platform started off as lets get to all the work that was done to make this WET DREAM come true:

First the guys did it right by taking everything apart.  These pictures look familar when we did Joe’s Red GS hahaha.  This is how to really do a complete job on your ride.

Next we will be going into detail pictures on how the body kit and paint were done and put together by Jon Jon and Vireak:

After the countless hours and days this is how it came out!  As you can see alot of care and love went into building this beast and after all said and done he just shut it down for alot of people!  The bar has been set high on this build and others need to step it up and knock down the CHAMP hahaha!  As of now I think SquadONE got this in the bag!

Congrats guys on the build and giving AUTOFASHION the SUPPORT!!!!!

STAY TUNED AT MOTION FOR THE DEBUT OF THIS BAD ASS MONSTER IN THE AUTOFASHION AREA!!!  COME BY AND CHECK OUT ALL THE LATEST BUILDS BROUGHT TO YOU BUY AUTOFASHION AND THE AUTOFASHION FAM!!!! 

On April 7th,2012 was the start of Formula D round 1.  This year we were on the vendor/pit side of  Formula D and not the show side.  We got alot of attention on this side of the track and will probably be on this side for future events if we could.  Thanks to Formula D staff for taking care of us and showing a small company like ours the same accommodations as they would the big corporate companies.

What more to say about formula D but that it was sold out and yes sold out and was packed with all types of people that came out to enjoy a motorsports event.  If you didnt have a chance to enjoy Long Beach then we would suggest going to the one near you!

We at AUTOFASHION appreciate all the love we get from our customers and our good friends.  In this segment we will be showing you the cars that had our stickers on their cars and those that showed us the love!

This is Rey from Royal Flush.  His car came along way and we love that he shows AUTOFASHION love by having a window banner.  He is one of the coolest guys I met in the scene and we would love to thank you Rey for the support at shows!!!

The owner of this y34 is Miguel.  He is another part of the Autofashion Fam that shows alot of dedication and appreciates the cars shows.  Hes not out there to win just show his support for AUTOFASHION and the work he has done to his ride!!  Always looking FRESH Miguel!

The owner of  SLAMMERAI (Yes like Samurai) is Chris.  I didnt know Chris for a long time but hes really good peeps.  Hes the type of guy that will help others before he helps himself and then doesnt bother for the credit but just wants a thanks once in awhile and Chris Thanks for the AUTOFASHION support.  His XB has come a long way since I met him and it may look stock to alot of preople but there is JAPAN in that damn thing hahaha inside joke sorry.   Thanks Again Chris!

This beauty is owned by John.  I known him since we was young and dumb.  He is the founder of  VSC and is a good friend.  A little history is that this is the guy that brought Junction Produce to the states and been doing it for a long long time.  People tend to forget who paved the way but the true VIP guys know and we are grass roots people!  Thanks again John for the support!!!!

This is Ojay’s ride.  Alot of people might not get it.  Alot of people probably wont like the style of it.  But if you really know about this model of VIP car then you would know why it looks like this.  This is what they looked like before there was a Junction Produce when there was only certain companies like Insurance-Group were born and also started people off into making their own companies like Junction Produce.  We dont have to get into a whole history of it but if you know you would appreciate the style that Ojay is going.   Thanks Ojay for the support for the shop.

There is alot of people that support the shop and show it.  Then there is people that use to show support and then forget to even show any love.  Its ok we are happy with the ones that do and the ones that know that some of us have to make a living in what we do and its not just about hook ups or freebees!  Thanks again to those that still support us till this day!

We are going to end this with the bad asses of DRIFT!!  Props to Ross and Frank at BOSO Garage for everything you did for this industry and this commuity!!!

Another Super Sunday has come and gone!  Super Sunday was brought to you by KILLER SCOOTERS.  They are one of the top shops to get things done for all your scooter needs, from parts to even a dyno you cant go wrong when it comes to killer scooters.  With the growing community of the honda ruckus and all the other shops coming together such as STANDARD FUNCTIONS, BOWLS, RUCKSTERS, and More.  The start off of SuperSunday for us was @ STANDARD FUNCTIONS.  MING, KEVIN, and JIMMY always shows us AUTOFASHION guys the most hospitality and welcomed us into their home.  We are still new to the whole ruckus scene and we just doing things for the fun of it and these guys got things on lock!

Super Sunday is growing bigger and bigger to the point where its just crazy to have 200+ bikes on the road all at one time.  It was good seeing familiar faces from customers to just people on TOTAL RUCKUS.  The crazy thing was I wasnt expecting to see the guys from Hawaii or NY!  It was good seeing Jay at Makoa scooters and some of the 808 guys.  I dont know anyone and I heard HIGRADE was out there and WRENCHWORKS but didnt get to say MAHALO!  Maybe next time when we get to HAWAII CON2013 =)

As some of you may know or follow us on Facebook,twitter, or Instagram we been posting up our build of “SNOWFLAKE”.  She came out really good and rode like a champ!  For something that was rushed and put together quick she didnt have any issues *knocks on wood* She came out really dope and was happy with the way she came out.  Staytuned for her change in the future.

While we were working on Snowflake…Nimbus was being worked on also.  She is a pearl white bike with Bling.  Alot of people got confused because 2 white bikes came out with us and people didnt know which one was which hahaha.

This is Nimbus…The owner is Ryan he works at the shop and well this is another last min build and I mean really last min just finished her up on saturday morning around 4am.  Even then this bike had a few issues but it made the whole ride from start to finish and back to Standard Functions to load her up.  Not bad for car shop guys putting together some Scooters hahaha.  None of this could of been possible without STANDARD FUNCTIONS(MING,KEVIN,and JIMMY) and PART SHOP MAX (DAN and MARTIN).  Thanks guys for all the help and support!

The most interesting bike that caught our eye and ears was the TURBO bike from STANDARD FUNCTIONS.  This thing sounded so amazing and performed like no other.  If you ever have a chance look up videos or check out their build on their blog.  This thing was so sick!!!

Another Bike that I personally liked this year was the MPAB ruckus.  He got alot of stuff redone and this thing looked so sick!!  GOOD JOB GUYS!!!!!!

With this said we had a great time and will be back for more rides!!!  Cant wait till Hawaii Con and for sure we will be there for sure!!!!

Thanks – AUTOFASHION
