Event Coverage | AutoCon 2012

Hello hello! Wow. Long time no update haha. I know my blog has been pretty quiet throughout these past few months, but most of you guys see the updates I make on my fanpage, so don't hate me too much. A lot of things have been happening to me other than work and I had to keep myself occupied other than going to car shows, which is one of the reasons why I've been so quiet. I was actually thinking about my activeness in the scene yesterday while browsing through the net and realized my activeness went down 80% compared to last year. Many of you guys who personally know me, know exactly what I'm talking about. Some of you guys greeted me as if I came back from the dead once I showed up at a show before haha. Well I'll try to be more active next year, so that all you fans won't be disappointed.

Well last week, one of my favorite car shows from last year happened this year at an earlier time and I was pretty stoked on planning to attend the event. Yeap~ it was AutoCon! I actually met up with Justin, Nathan, and other staffs who were a part of AutoCon last year to discuss about future plans with the event. I didn't know exactly what was happening back then, but I was fortunate enough to be a small part of AutoCon and glad that Justin and Nathan favored my blog. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend AutoCon this year because of a wedding I had to attend, so my apology to all of NI fans and to Justin and Nathan. Although I wasn't there to do a coverage, our contributing photographer Nick Schultz and videographer UMWorks attended AutoCon and as always, they brought us flawless work. Check it!




I really don't need to judge about AutoCon, because most of the stories I heard from others about the event last year was all positive. I've seen some updates related to AutoCon on facebook on the day of the event and all I read was how great the event was, other than the hot , sticky, humid, sunny weather.

This years event had more special guests and tons of models. If you wanted to attend a quality car show, AutoCon was it.


Team Outcast x BAUS Auto.


I'm sure you guys have been seeing a few modded Scion FR-Ss or Subaru BRZs at car shows or meets. So far, I haven't seen one that amazed me yet other than the one built by GReddy, but as time goes by, I'm sure one will pop up and make me drool.


One of my favorite E46 M3s in SoCal, fitted with Voltex parts, etc.


Luigi's S2000 getting more aggressive with every new setup.


SpoCom having their own DJ and booth. By the way, their event is coming up!


Ryan's Bluebird is a rare beauty. As I've mentioned in my other coverages, Ryan bought this car rusted and he pretty much restored it all by himself. If I'm not mistaken, he won 3rd place in the JDM category.


Jose Romo's Audi is just soo sex-z. Get it?


Red on Red. Why not?


Hard as a mofo. Love this ride.


Hmm...


Girls from K1 Speed Racing.


Gawd dam! STi Wagon fitted on SSRs.


And we have a line of Scion FR-Ss! Beautiful cars. It seems like the one at the right was rebadged with a Toyota emblem.


This Integra has been popping up everywhere. I've seen this car on many blog coverages and all they talk about is the unique hood.


Dam..where did I see this RSX....


370Z equipped with an ARK exhaust.


Ted's Civic EK looking good like always.


Ouf! Seems familiar...


Custom widebody Matte Orange GT-R R35 from ACE.




Me gusta.


I believe this Evo 10 from ACE is for sale.


Talk about flawless fitment.


Seems like Matte colors are the trend these days.

Aw shiet! What a win!

So I saw this photo before I uploaded it on flickr and realized I was looking at the photo for more than a minute. I mean..I know some of ya'll will be saying "come on, it's fucking pointless", but for those who appreciate the fitment scene, the low fitment on this beauty is definitely flawless.


Mmmm~~~ diffuser goodness.


Beautiful fitment on this STi.


I hope this RSX is on air because that is absolutely low. Holy fuk.....


Omg omg omg! WOW! Haven't seen such an aggressively fitted Ferrari F430 in my life! Props!


Someone save me.


If you're in Royal Flush, your ride needs to be fitted. It's not optional.


Want to see a car that can break necks 24/7? Here ya go.


Sexy wheels, sexy fitment, sexy drop.


SoCalDriven always present at car shows.


Hello Raymund :D


Fitted on Work Equips.


Ouf!


Mmmmm~ Lexus IS F Sport on Work VS-XXs.


I see something blinging.


Peek shot.


BMW Z4 on VIP Modular wheels.


This is what I call track fitment.


A mix of Green and Grey.


One of those S2000s that pop up pretty often at car shows. Loving the White and Blue combo.


Got some camber?


Jackson's S2000 wrapped by Impressive Wrap.

Now to the stunning model photos our contributor Nick took at AutoCon. I haven't been updated with the new models popping into the scene, but one model I kept an eye on during these past few months was this girl named Molly Truong. I've seen a few photos of her and I gotta say she is hot. Don't judge me.

Anyways, just enjoy the other photos posted below :)
