Just a two-parter to get this up before the hoard of SEMA pics are posted…The VIP Festival was on Sunday the week of SEMA and being that I missed it last year, I knew I really wanted to go check it out. Freddie also showed up to my 2-year anniversary meet and provided the music so it was only right that I go to his event to show support to Autofashion. I’ve known Freddie for a couple years now and it’s good to see that Autofashion is still going strong. I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty tired, being that I had just come back from a week an Vegas but I got a couple hours of sleep, woke up, and headed down to San Diego…

The whole daylight savings time thing was throwing me off the whole morning but I managed to make it to the meet around 12:30-1. It was pretty crowded and the turn-out was way bigger than I expected…

The man behind the meet…

Ran into Ross from Midnight Garage, who apparently at that moment had discovered Jesus…

Also ran into Travis and his Fit at the meet. He was actually driving back with us from Vegas but we made a rest stop and forgot to tell him about it and he just kept going…

ItsJDMYo!!!, who is run by my buddy Tony Lee, was on hand with a booth and he had several items up for purchase for those who wanted stickers, shirts, or license plate covers with Hello Kitty tits on it…

Big Mike was chillin’ in the booth because the sun would randomly come out and bring random patches of heat. Tony also had a model signing at his booth and helping him push merchandise. I believe her name is Chaba?…

Another guy I didn’t expect to show up with Gene Tjin. He had also just come back from Vegas the day before and he still managed to bring his duo of Camaros down for the event. Before you guys complain about the black one…yes, it was the crazy green one from last year. The reason it looks like that with the flames and what not is because it was a full car wrap done by Wraptivo for their booth at SEMA. Can’t say I’m a fan because I loved the green so much more but it’s cool…

Phaze2 Tony also made the drive down to SD. He was pretty much all over the place the week before with traveling to NSXPO and then SEMA and after that, San Diego…

Ryan Der was there for the carne asada fries after…

BIg Mike of course…

DPK Darryl, Phaze2 Tony, Jared, and Ryan Der…

DPK David’s new 5-lug swap finally out after 2 months…haha…

The Airrunner/5Axis GS was on hand…Love this car, I’m actually gonna go take a closer look at it today down at 5Axis…

Love this new Wedsport SA60M wheel. The blue inserts are a nice touch…

Oh, this was probably my favorite build of the event. This Odyssesy was fuckin’s crazy…I wish his windows were down so I could get a shot of the interior for you guys because it’s definitely something worth looking at. I’ll have more pics of the rest of the exterior later on…

Mike’s? TL…

Big fan of the wheel choice on this TSX…

Tony and Jared…

I found asian Waldo lurking somewhere in the crowd…

That’s all for today, back with the rest tomorrow…
