Event Coverage: AutoFashion 4th Annual VIP Festival

November 8, 2010

People who own VIP/VIP style cars and VIP enthusiasts were stoked about AutoFashion's VIP Festival. I remember first seeing a VIP styled car at Hellaflush 5 and had no idea how the style and word originated, but that was before I got into cars this year. I heard from many others, even from staffs from AutoFashion, telling me how the show started out very small but grew every single year with people coming down from other states and even from other countries.
Some people thought the VIP scene was going to die out, but it's been the opposite.
The movement is growing and getting better in the U.S.

Before getting into depth about the festival itself, I want to share some photos that were taken at the caravan from VIP tint + glass located in Murrieta, CA. The amount of cars that showed up and the caravan itself was EPIC!

VIP or not, all styles were welcomed.

Excluding myself, probably the only tC in CA that's attempting the VIP style. Kain's the owner and he's been working on his car for quite a long time. His feature will come very soon!

Josh and his friends came along to take some photos for the caravan. He had 3 people in his car and his friend, Jesus, was sticking out his head the whole time taking rolling shots.

The Demon cambered Q's! Oscar, Charles, and Josh.

Don't be hating if you see too much camber because that's how these guys roll!

Astonishing..

Couldn't miss the moment of sick VIP/VIP styled cars rolling at once so sorry if the photos are a bit blurry.
Anyways, you can find more photos at VIP'd Out.

We arrived at around 10:30am and the place was already packed.
The cars were lined up to park and I took the opportunity to take some photos.

The main lot was a bit too small so other rides had to park across the street.

Glad to see this ride making it to the event. If you can recall, it was at SEMA.

It's JDM yO! always at huge events. I don't really know the guys too well except Keith, but I've been checking out their site the longest and like to represent their name.

I had so much fun just taking pictures.

IMG_5831

Now I heard everytime you go to AutoFashion's VIP Festival, you expect to see one ride that blows your mind and I think that's what happend when I saw this Odyssey.

IMG_5834

The interior and wheels were from D.A.D., another popular VIP product line.

IMG_5840

IMG_5844

IMG_5845

When I go to events, I always walk around the parking area, expecting to see some sexy rides. As usual, there were ones in my interest parked across and on the sides, such as this Lexus IS on SSR's.

IMG_5847

There were some known companies that came to vendor; Work, Kranze, Ings+1, and Air Runner.

I thought Christopher Wu's ride was the only one who had a fully converted Rumion xB, but found another one yet not fully converted, VIP styled xB with some Rumion parts.

IMG_5862

IMG_5866

Going to this event and taking a closer look into the Q's, Lexus's, etc. made me appreciate the VIP scene even more.

IMG_5870

Josh's ride got stuck going up a hill to park and it was my second time seeing this happen to him. Last time, he got stuck coming out of a parking lot.

IMG_5872

Low N Slow and others.

IMG_5875

It was good seeing the 818 guys coming to support AutoFashion.

If you didn't get a chance to see Milt's new setup, well here you go. - offset Garson wheels with huge lips.
