Wek Fest Chicago 2011 Part 3: The Finale

Okay...better late than never.  Things have never been busier here at PS117, which is a good thing.  I'm working on a lot of new projects now so expect to be seeing my work published elsewhere as well as here.

Final coverage of Wek Fest Chicago.  As I mentioned the show was a lot of fun and really laid back.  Me and a friend even got to suit for a little which was a real hit with the crowd (I'm sure you've seen pictures on other sites of the two furries running around...would be me and my friend Jyno...haha).  We all gathered around at the end for the awards and there weren't any real surprises there with each winner deserving of their award.  Tattoo Mike took home 1st Place GTI for his Camo-wrapped R32 Turbo GTI, so big congrats to him for bringing home some hardware for us.  Best-of-Show went to an absolutely amazing Chevy Nova.  I couldn't get any individual pics of it because there was always a big crowd around the car.  Thanks again Wek Sos and Fatlace for putting on such a great event!  Hope to see you all back next year.

 I've seen this Lexus GS over the years and it's amazing to always see it better than last time.  Took home 1st Place Lexus.

 VIP M35 from Fizz Autosports

 Fizz's sexy S15....look at that fitment!

 Impressive line-up from Top Speed.  Their R34 hasn't changed in like 5 years, lol.  Still looks amazing though.

 VIP'd GS.  Owner was pretty cool.  Came over to my LS and talked for awhile.

 The Tjin Edition Ford Mustang.  Such a beautiful car.  Amazing how big Neil has become in the industry.  I remember his S14.5 build from years ago.  He turns out show-stopper after show-stopper every time.

 Chii Racing.  The Nova that won Best-of-Show is up front.

 Chris's Supra.  Good to see it back.

 My buddy Reid's Supra.  Reid takes all of my money.  Not because he's good at hustling me, but because he works at Sound Performance.  


Okay, the Hondas that came out to Wek Fest were killing it!  Seriously, we're talking Cali-quality here.  I was totally blown away by a lot of the Hondas there.


 This CRX was down-right amazing.  Such a flawless car and by far one of my favorite cars of the show.  Everything about it was spot on and the bay was just flawless.  Oh, look at the windshield...Rywire.  This car could hold its own at any Cali show.

Tattoo Mike mean-muggin' for the camera

Then I told him to move so I could take a pic of his GTI that rolled out with us.  Congrats on 1st place!


 Another very well built Honda.  This Wagovan was clean.



 More jaw-dropping Hondas.

 Serious bay in this Prelude.

 Another R34.

 Race-car!

 Really liked this 2nd gen xB

 Wide-body MK3 Jetta

 Another spotless bay.

 This SL55 AMG was another show favorite for me.


 Another Honda...another awesome bay.

 Some nice bikes by the stage.

 Another shot of Neil Tjin's Mustang.


 Of course gotta show some love to my boy Ryan's Supra over at the Eat Sleep Race booth.  I've known Ryan for a number of years and he's always been great to hang out with.  His new Supra is just as nice as his old IS300.


 Loved this Matte-Orange GTI.

Gonna close it out with a shot of Dave from Touge Factory's 180sx.  Yep, real deal here.  Saw it after the show near our hotel at the Wendy's, haha.

Thanks again Chicago!
