Finally, this will be our last coverage on Wekfest! Some of you guys might be complaining on why I had to separate the coverage's into 3 parts, but please understand that we have tons of photos to share and dumping all of them in one coverage is just not my style. My computer can't even handle a post with more than 50+ photos. It will take forever to load and I did hear from few of my friends having the same problem. This final part of Wekfest will have A LOT of photos so if you have a slow computer, I recommend you steal or borrow a fast one.
Now, I'll continue on from where I left off from Part 3. Part 4 will cover the asphalt area of the event and like Part 3, I'll be including Jay's photo coverage and will add Nick's photos as well.

Continuing on from where we left off, Part 3 will include photos by our photographer Jay Ebue with my own, so this will be a pretty good one (^_^)v
Having to shoot more than 500 cars and random moments at Wekfest, rather than being bored and talking throughout the whole event, I actually had a good time because of the proportion of new cars I've never seen before. You'll be seeing some new ones in this coverage and I'm sure your time will be well spent looking through our photos.

Wekfest Los Angeles was probably one of the best gatherings of cars I’ve seen in a while. Most shows I go to, I see many of the same cars and maybe a handful of new ones. Although many of the cars are quite stunning, a little variety can go a long way. That being said, I saw the great cars that have been showing all season in addition to many new cars I haven’t seen before the event this past Sunday.
Although the show didn’t start until 12 noon and that being up on various sites, I somehow mistakenly thought that the show started at 8am. While I didn’t get up until 7:30am and arrive until 9am, I was actually pretty lucky because even when I arrived at the event at 9:30/10am, there was already a sizeable line beginning.

Woke up around 4am today staring at the wall thinking about various things. Then I catch myself laying my fingers on top of the laptop keyboard. For a hour or so, I had no idea what the hell I was doing and thinking. I'm speculating it's because of the massive amount of sexy cars I saw at Wekfest last Sunday and I had to stop with Part 1 yesterday. Let's continue on with the event!

What a long weekend! I would say out of all the events I've been to this year, yesterday's Wekfest Los Angeles was probably one of the most tiring but convivial events. Those who live out of California might be clueless on why people get hyped up when this event comes around and you'll find the answer within this coverage, but to summarize it in a simple and straight-forward way, cars you don't see at meets or sometimes major events come to Wekfest. I don't know the actual history of it, but I do know it's an event created by an aftermarket sales store in NorCal called Weksos.
Now another question might be floating in your heads after realizing Wekfest did happen this year at NorCal. Well Weksos decided to collaborate with Fatlace after the NorCal Wekfest to do another show, but this time, in SoCal.
I was bummed missing out on the NorCal one, but luckily, we were able to share DJ Murdok's Wekfest coverage on our site. After hearing Weksos opening up a show in SoCal, I cleared out all my schedules and other 'planned-to-attend' meets and events just to attend SoCal's Wekfest and let's just say it was definitely worth it.
