Wekfest LA 2014 Pt. 1 | Rollin’ in

0 Posted by - June 2, 2014 - Event Coverage

Wekfest LA, one of the biggest shows of the year, where only the most elite cars and crews come out to showcase their ride. I’ll admit, despite being the founder of Carsxhype, I have never been to a Wekfest before. Luckily for me, I just happened to be in SoCal with no plans the weekend of the show!

In fact, I planned on an impromptu meet with some friends at Tastea, and that’s where I heard Wekfest was the next day. Better yet, our SoCal operations manager, Brandon Nguyen, was showing the CxH FR-S at the show, so I decided to roll with him over to Long Beach at 7am.

But first,Brandon needed to make some last minute adjustments to his car. At 12am its hard to have access to a garage, so the parking lot will have to do! Someone adjusting their coilovers in the parking lot was not a common site, and security was not happy with up.

After registering, we waited in line for what felt like an eternity. At least, we were surrounded by dope cars.
NOTE: This post is sort of an intro post for my experience at Wekfest. I wasn’t able to stay and get photos of all the cars, but Brandon’s coverage will be coming shortly and he will have more photos.

More of that Subaru and its impressive wrap.

Speaking of wraps, Wekfest brought out cars with some pretty awe inspiring wraps.

….and it brought cars with envy inducing carbon fiber work.

Carbon Fender? Hell yeah!

Massive Carbon duck bill spoiler? God yes!

Another special thing about WFLA, is its location, right next the Queen Mary.

…and the city right behind the cars.

…aaaand the water being there is pretty sweet too.

The struggle was real for some cars to get up that little driveway onto the grass. #aboutthatlowlife

Nevertheless, people fearlessly traversed the perilous driveway and made it bravely onto the grass; they looked great doing so.

INTERRUPT: Beautiful lady cleaning that beautiful Subaru. #creepin

Okay, back to cars just comin in.

Who doesn’t love a good FB.

*Gasp* a Modified Kizashi?!

I have a hunch he’s not on air…

Things were starting to take shape.

One of my absolute favorites.

SO sick.

While we’re on the subject of wheels….WHEEL DUMP!

Red is nice.

However, nothing beats the shot of this lady and blue.

But yellow wants to play too.

Uh-oh….
WHEEL DUMP AGAIN!

On a serious note, I LOVE that above fender on that civic.

No event these days is complete without an RWB car present.

Ready to attack.

Thanks for checking out my sort of silly, intro post into our Wekfest coverage. Please stay tuned for more better photos from Brandon and our godlike photographer from Arizona, Tucson. If you were at the event, you know that this post is missing a TON of amazing cars, and if you weren’t there, then this is just a taste of what the event was like.
