Default RPM @ Irvine Coverage

What a GREAT show.
It has been awhile since I attended an import show, and I'm glad I went to this one.

Sick cars with models and the turn-out was awesome.
It's great to see all kind of cars at one place.
Played around with photoshop a bit so the photos might not be as good like others. Still new with this camera so bare with me

*I forgot to watermark them, but don't care if you guys decide to take it with you



Man did these guys put on a shoW! It was loud as hell but very entertaining





The entrance had full of Bimmers in line.



Time to check out models :D



Greddy had some nice cars on display. Make sure you guys check out Greddy's Meet & Greet (and also Garage Sale) on September. I'll update the event asap.



It's always good to see the VIP guys rolling out together. Check out their cars.



















It's JDM Yo was representing the import scene big time. It's always good to see these guys.



Lotus~



whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



Matt black finish Benz.



Some Integras in the scene and this was one of them with a great display.



I've seen this car at Island Motorsports Meet & Greet. Found out the owner was a girl and she put a lot of work into her ride. Nardi Steering Wheel, Jline, Custom interior fabric..daym!



One of the cleanest cars that I saw today. S14 owned by Alex. I'll be doing a coverage on this car really soon.











One of the sickest xB's out there. Belongs to Anthony. Will be doing a coverage of this one as well.



I've seen this s2k so many times and still impressed!



dAYM!!!!!!!!



Now THAT's sexy



Milt's 350z looking hot like always





I had to meet these guys but never had a chance



Mike's SICK xB on CCW's


NOW!! Time for some model shotS!!!! Can't do an import show without models!





























Illest FTW!!

You guys can check more of my photos ->

Are you kidding me? This show, hands down was the worst show of the year! No one even attended the show. The parking lot was empty the entire day! RPM sucks! Nothing on the flier even happened. I have seen car meets with way more ppl than this sorry ___ show

I don't think you get what my job is for my blog and our site. I was going around trying to look for cars that I can do a coverage on AND find cars that are appropriate for our site JustStance.com. Also, check my flickr to see other cars that I took pics of. I am not hating on any non-hellaflush cars. If putting pics of my liking and necessary for our site is being hated on this site (ScionLife), I will not post pics of events if asked to do so.

And to all the others, I haven't attended a lot of "import" shows like this one. Last "big" one I attended was HIN during 2002 @ LA. I'll see how others are from now on and probably will compare to the RPM.

lack of organization for a show that was suppose to be just like the old times.
parking of the show vehicles was stupid and disorganized.....double lines then half of field open without cars....

to my opinion and my opinion only...this show FAILED. thank god i didn't get a booth because i would've been in a bigger loss.

congrats to the scion's that placed "cheddar bob "something use of lighting or led's", this marine guy from san diego with a clean bb for best scion and i took 2nd. in the weekend driver cat.

highlight of the day " our booth being attacked by bee's cuz of the smell of the NOS" lol....

The ____ing morons that had those canopys that were not properly tied down to the ground should be fined.

Well call the "fine" police, issue the "ticket" and try to enforce/collect.

cops could be involved in that; there was an issue like that at slamology in indy 2 years ago. big storm came through and a canopy did same thing except for the car was chameleon painted; people(who had the canopy) refused to give up their insurance info to the people that owned the car; cops were called and things ended up getting straighted out that way
