Wekfest Seattle 2017
I think it’s time I jump back into something I enjoy doing which is event coverage. With as much as we get to travel to different events around the country, we always make our way to each Wekfest event being that we are part of their staff. I always tell myself that I should take […]
Shift Season Opener presented by Detail Rack 707 and West Coast Hydrographix
I realize when you begin to work on your own projects you have the tendency to get behind on a lot of “other” things. One being event coverage. I’ve been keeping to myself as of late to figure out some stuff after parting ways with Wheelwell in early January. Never officially mentioned it outside of my […]
Osaka Auto Messe Coverage Part 2
Part 2 of my Osaka Auto Messe coverage will have cars not particular to VIP Cars. Osaka Auto Messe was a great experience for me. I got the opportunity to see cars that I normally saw online or just simply followed their owners via social media outlets. Like I mentioned in the first part, I […]
Osaka Auto Messe Coverage Part 1
It’s been years since I have been back to Japan. Osaka Auto Messe is also one event that I never got a chance to attend. This year, I had my sights set on Osaka Auto Messe because it’s notoriously known for its VIP Car builds that attend. While Tokyo Auto Salon brings out the big […]
Wekfest Hawaii 2017
Right now I am in my 24 hour “layover” from Hawaii to Japan. I came home for 24 hours after working at Wekfest Hawaii before heading to Osaka, Japan to finally attend Osaka Auto Messe. This year’s Hawaii trip to kick off the 2017 Wekfest Tour was a blast. It was nice to get away from […]
Toyo Tires x Super Street Calendar Launch – Nor Cal
It’s been over 2 years since I wrote on VIPStyleCars. One of the last 3 event coverages I did here was for the Nor Cal Toyo Tires x Super Street Calendar Launch. Today, Toyo Tires & Super Street came back to Nor Cal with Supreme Detailworks for their 2017 Calendar launch held at Club Auto […]
StanceNation / Nisei Showoff Coverage part 1 – VIP Cars
Photos: John Teniente Usually we like to do our coverage with just cars that catch our eyes since most events has a small percentage of VIP Cars / VIP Style Cars entered. Lately, a lot of events have had a large influx of VIP Cars / VIP Style Cars. We were not able to attend […]
Studdz Films | VIPStyleCars Spocom NorCal Video Coverage
We would like to introduce Studdz Film as one of our official videographers of VIPStyleCars.com. I am extremely excited to bring this young man into our family. Just the first of many upcoming features and coverage that we are planning on providing. Follow him on Instagram: @StuddzFilms He blessed us today with his […]
Spocom NorCal 2015
Photos / Words : VIPStyleCars.com staff It’s been awhile since I have had any content to grace these pages. I knew that I needed get back on the ball again. I had decided to stop shooting and hopefully find photographers to help us out. Since then we have some great photographers now on our […]
Toyo Tires x Super Street Meet – Northern Cali edition
Earlier in the year, Toyo Tires and Super Street did a calendar launch meet in Southern California. Today, they brought the same meet up to Northern California and we couldn’t be happier about it. We knew a storm was brewing a few days before the event and so we were debating on going or not. […]
VIP Fest 2014 – AutoFashion USA
Photos: Paul Liwanag Every year in November we look forward to VIP Fest held by our friends at AutoFashion USA. This year I was unable to attend however one of our staff photographers was able to provide some quick coverage for us. If you are a huge VIP Car / VIP Style Car fan […]
Blox Evolution 2014
Words / Photos: John Liwanag One event that we look forward to in Northern California is the Blox Open House. It’s a meet that is held at their facilities which draws over 300 cars each year. However it was no secret that they were outgrowing the area around their facilities and they began planning on […]
Spocom Anaheim 2014
Words / Photos: John Liwanag We took the trek down from Northern California to check out Spocom at the Anaheim Convention Center. I learned that I need to be quicker at getting the GS ready so I can start to do coverage of the event. I got started late and there were a lot of people […]
StanceNation Texas Coverage
Words / Photography : Nick Lopez “AirMax” of Jspek.com Only recently have I started going to carshows again to actually enjoy the cars rather than just hang out with friends. I decided a few months ago to take a long weekend and go to Dallas for StanceNation TX in hopes that I wouldn’t be let […]
Formula Drift Long Beach Rd 1 2014
Photos and Text: John Liwanag I usually make the effort to attend Formula Drift Long Beach each year. I wanted to thank all of our close friends inside of FD for their generous hospitality while attending it this year. Drifting has always been a favorite of mine. Little known fact but right before I began […]
VIP Lounge Episode 22 Podcast
Episode 22. Usually podcasts before and on the weekend of an event where we have to travel out of state from is tough. So much going on with prep and the actual event itself that I tend to either get really distracted or I just feel anxious. However, it does bring a different energy to […]
VIP Lounge Episode 21 Podcast
I got really behind on getting this podcast out to you guys. My apologies. We recently released a new shirt so a lot of my attention has been focused to that over the past week and this morning I jumped into working on the shirts that I forgot to finish this podcast! Still working out […]
VIP Lounge Episode 20 Podcast
I say this everytime, but I can’t believe that we hit episode (insert number here). We started recording the podcast because of the gems I would hear when I would just have a conversation with close friends. I always wanted to save it forever so we talked about the podcast and it took us a […]
VIP Lounge Episode 19 Podcast
The most awkward podcast we have ever recorded but that is not a bad thing. Usually when we record the podcast, the four of us are sitting in our respective offices / rooms in different parts of the country. I’m usually staring at my computer screen to make sure that everything is recording properly. This […]
VIP Lounge Episode 18 Podcast
Today we decided to go off the beaten path for us and discuss photography. I’ve been really into it in the past but it dropped off a bit. I even decided to change environments from Canon to Sony to change things up. I’m fortunate to be around some amazing photographers from time to time like […]
VIP Lounge Episode 17 Podcast
Just recently got back from Wekfest Seattle and I couldn’t believe just how tired I was. It honestly shows on this podcast with my voice plus some glaring mistakes I decided not to edit out. I had a great time in Seattle though. Everyone was extremely gracious to us. I actually got some photo coverage […]
VIP Lounge Episode 16 Podcast
Episode 16 was one for the memory banks. Today we brought on a very special guest, Agim Jones from Luxury Abstract. We were excited to bring him on and I decided to give the podcast to you in its rawest form. I just added the music and let it go. Didn’t edit out any background […]
VIP Lounge Episode 15 Podcast
Crazy how I had no voice just a few hours before we were slated to record this week’s episode. Just kinda kept it low key with some tea until it was time to record. This week’s episode we just went over the weekend we had at Wekfest San Jose. Big thank you to everyone who […]
VIP Lounge Episode 14 Podcast
Episode 14 is now live. We invited our good friend Thomas Pinai to join us on this week’s podcast. Thomas hit us up with a topic in regards to addressing what we look for when we judge cars at a car show. Instead of answering the question for Thomas, we invited him on to discuss […]
VIP Lounge Episode 13 Podcast
Unlucky number 13! We waited until the NBA Finals were over to record so I personally was siting on a high that I got when watching the Finals with my boys. Chris however, as one of the few true Lebron fans I know, was feeling the loss. Sorry bud! I love the Bay Area and […]
VIP Lounge Episode 12 Podcast
So we hit the 12 week mark for the podcast. Been such an amazing journey. Our guest this week is Sam Hagen from Central Pine USA / T-Demand USA. He is currently in transition and moving to a new location for his shop so I appreciate that he took some time out of his busy […]
VIP Lounge Episode 11 Podcast
Here is Episode 11. We welcome back Mr. Worldwide James Church back after his galavanting in Europe. Sitting now on Episode 11, we are almost at our 12 week mark. It’s been such a journey already at such an infant stage. We appreciate everyone’s feedback and questions we get on a daily basis. I can’t […]
VIP Lounge Episode 10 Podcast
Here is Episode 10 of our VIP Lounge Podcast. I would be lying to you if I said I wasn’t feeling a bit of stress this past week. Being in full swing on the Wekfest tour plus trying to startup a new venture, my mind can be a bit erratic. Thankfully there is this Podcast […]
VIP Lounge Episode 9 Podcast
Usually I just listen to a podcast just once after I finalize it and then post it up. This episode I actually found myself listening to this a couple times before I realized I needed to get it posted. My bad! This week we had the honor of having Joey Lee from The Chronicles as […]
New VIPStyleCars / VIP Lounge shirts are available
It’s been awhile since we decided to come out with new apparel. This year it was something I really wanted to focus on. With the addition of the Podcast plus a recent push to revive the VIP Car / VIP Style community again, just thought this would be a great project to kick it off […]
