Photo shoot with some of our apparel
A few months back, a good friend of ours Mark Enriquez (IG: @1llest) based out of the East Coast asked us if we would want to be a part a photoshoot for USDM FREAX. We happily accepted and provided some apparel for the shoot. The photos came out fantastic. I wanted to wait a bit […]
VIP Lounge Episode 34 Podcast
You know you are having a good time when time flies. Such a cliche saying, I know. For Episode 34, we brought in our good friend Nax from Fortune Minds / Liberty VIP. This man is the truth. He says it exactly how it is and holds his loyalty close. I’ve always said, I wanted […]
VIP Lounge Episode 33 Podcast
It’s official SEMA week! Then its off to VIP Festival in San Diego hosted by our friends at Autofashion USA. It’s crazy since this is probably the first time in at least 4 years that I have been home for Halloween. Just didn’t work out for me to get to SEMA this year. So much […]
VIP Lounge Episode 32 Podcast
It’s Tuesday and I got a bit behind on getting the podcast uploaded today. Crazy to think that its the week before SEMA already. It came way too fast to be completely honest. Usually, once we get to October we start to feel that SEMA crunch that seems to find us right before the event. […]
VIP Lounge Episode 31 Podcast
Episode 31 is upon us. This week we missed having Rene and Dennis since they were traveling. James just got back from Georgia as well. These guys are always traveling, I can’t believe we still figure out a way to get together every week to record this podcast. These guys are all super busy plus […]
VIP Lounge Episode 30 Podcast
We made it to Episode 30. I’m still a bit geeked out on the fact that the Star Wars Last Jedi tickets finally went on sale and the trailer finally dropped. I was sort of scheduling my day around the fact that the trailer was scheduled to drop during halftime of Monday Night Football last […]
VIP Lounge Episode 29 Podcast
Finally got to finish the edit of the podcast. Can’t believe we are sitting on Episode 29. We may have missed a few days but we never missed a week to record the podcast. I know it’s not some crazy milestone but it’s something that I am extremely proud of now. We have become some […]
VIP Lounge Episode 28 Podcast
I honestly was a bit sentimental this morning as I prepared the podcast for uploading. Honestly, James and I first started talking about doing a podcast years ago. I was really reluctant to do one. In the end, I feel I was just giving myself excuses not to do it. We’ve now hit 28 weeks […]
VIP Lounge Episode 27 Podcast
Good morning! Back on track with the podcast and had to bring on one of the OG VIP guys out there. I was thrilled when Max DeMasters from Liberty VIP accepted the idea of being a guest on our podcast. Running with a non-traditional platform as well. It’s great to hear his story and his […]
VIP Lounge Episode 26 Podcast
You gotta hear this one. It was one for the ages. We brought on a special guest that I knew would bring some topics forward that we may never discuss. While it’s not really in the VIP car realm, it’s something that I always believed in. We brought in a good friend from the Domestic […]
VIP Lounge Episode 25 Podcast
Episode 25 is here. We appreciate that we are even here at episode 25 doing something that we didn’t know we would enjoy. I think it gives us a chance to catch up to people and also get a chance to showcase some of these folks in our community. We asked Sharad Khan from SK […]
VIP Lounge Episode 24 Podcast
With episode 24, we decided to move our podcast over to a chat / voice software named Discord. Discord is popular as “team speak” for gamers and after using it to coordinate some gaming opportunities, I thought that this might work for us. What I wanted to accomplish was to allow people to listen to […]
VIP Lounge Episode 23 Podcast
Made it to episode 23. I apologize for the podcast being late a few days. With all the traveling we had planned plus I literally wanted to take a short nap before our scheduled recording and that backfired. When you decide, I’ll take just a quick 30 min nap… 5 hours later… pic.twitter.com/A7s7rMG4cF — John […]
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 […]
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 […]
