BP VIP C.C.

Posted by FckyourCrew - 3 comments


BP VIP is what i call, Southern California's premiere VIP/VIP-STYLE car club. What eventually started out as a group of friends, eventually turned into something very serious. Not only is BP a car club but as well as a giant family, along with members and affiliates.



Just a couple a week's ago, BP was in full effect at AutoFashion's 5th VIP Festival. Since 3/4's of the members were attending, I decided to set-up a shoot with one of San Diego's well known photographer's, David from Bojangles Photography. As far as that day went, it was shitty to be honest due to the stormy weather. In the end of course, we decided to stick with the plan and went forward with the shoot.



So... What does BP VIP mean? BP translates into Bippu Pride. Bippu is basically the pronunciation for VIP. Now if your a bit on the intelligent side, your probably wondering why does it all translate out to 'VIP Pride VIP' well let's just say, it's a topic that we won't touch base on. A side from that, To make it easier for everybody, BP = "Good Times x Good People x Sweet Rides".




BP VIP head count is 16 members, Missing members are Ted, Brian, Austin,Tong, Tony & Anthony. Hopefully one day we'll be able to capture the whole squad just for your entertainment. Until then you can always stay updated @ http://www.facebook.com/BPVIP
Stay tuned for the prequel...

OLD SCHOOL HANG OUT.

Posted by FckyourCrew - 0 comments

One thing that you gotta love about Southern California is how diverse it is. Specifically, the automotive car scene. It's definitely warming when you can view all the different types of cars and styling cues on a daily basis. Mainly on our blog you'll be seeing a lot of slammed European & Japanese automotives with certain styling cues. But one thing that we definitely love to share as well is our love for classic cars. You just can't go wrong when it comes to something that is a piece of art as well as history all together.

Just recently, a good buddy of ours David (BOJANGLES Photography & DudeBlvd) was recently invited to the "Illegales C.C." BBQ in San Diego. The homie himself whom is a fan of the classic cars accepted this invitation and found himself in a sea of classic cars on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Even though the park was fairly small, there were plenty of cars that had shown up through out the day.


As far as diversity goes, it's definitely a nice sight to see a whole fleet of old school whips ranging in variety of models and style. Also being in California, nothing beats being spending a nice day in the park with some bomb grub, great people and beautiful cars.




While David was chilling out at the BBQ, he also happened to meet Yudai whom is from the SoCal Chapter of the Local Heros. If you don't know who the Local Hero's are, you should definitely check them out at http://www.local-hero.jp/. They are actually based out in Japan and are involved with the custom culture in Japan which includes classic cars & motorcycles.

A SIMPLE APPROACH...

Posted by FckyourCrew - 0 comments



Hailing from Ocala, Florida Josh Taylor’s B5 A4, A simple and clean well put together daily without a doubt. An already clean body styled Audi with the right touches made this daily a eye catcher.

The car isn’t a bright color nor does it have a set of oddly colored wheels. Instead, the car was fitted on Rotiforms NUE’s in the respective sizes 18x9.5 ET 22, wrapped in some buttery Ziex 512s.


Not only having just a awesome set of wheels fitted right on the money would be just enough for a daily, Josh also deleted the muffler. Seeing as the A4 is a 1.8 it gives it that perfect tone too pull your ear in when he opens it up.




But still keeping it muffled tone when it’s needed. Another example of when simplicity over takes overly done. You can also catch Josh’s excellent videos here.

Adam’s Work’d FD.

Posted by FckyourCrew - 1 comments


Simplicity has to be one of the most overrated aspects of a car trend in the present day. Everyone wants there “Key” to fame, something that made them “original”. Sometimes keeping to the basics shows more skill then hacking together some new trend, you’ll find with the OG’s to the game this isn’t a hard task for them. Keeping what they need done insight, and not varying too far from their original plan. 


To say Adam is a down to earth guy would be an understatement. It’s always so refreshing to meet a guy that has similar visions to you and has been around the game for plenty of time to have seen it all and the changes. His FD has grown with him for some time now. Seeing plenty of parts and new paint, most cars today don’t have the same cleanness you think they have in person. But if you love a clean black car you’ll fall in love effortlessly, every inch of this car is mint.


Like they always say “Pictures don’t do this car justice.” This was most definitely the case. Initially I was shooting some shots of SJKgarage in Sacramento, The owner Be Huynh had told me about some of the cars coming, I had scoped this car way before then. It just wasn’t a car that anyone really got time to see. With Be and I content on what he wanted for his shop and potential for Adam’s car my mind went wild. The day of shooting the Be’s garage I met everyone there, and Adam finally came. I was stunned at how immaculate the car was kept. It rolled down the street with one of the most aggressive front end’s I’ve seen on a car. After a couple minutes of talking to him we clicked instantly, it’s funny how people in the world see and think in similar ways you do. We exchanged info and the rest was history….


Later we finally met up to get the FD the well deserved lens time it needed. Watching the car move around town was a treat within itself, you could see people point and stop and just watch as it passed by. The exhaust note was perfect, enough to command your respect but not enough to have to worry about attracting unwanted attention.


Any location the car was put it, it pulled your eyes to it without hesitation. The height was set at was perfect, not low enough to rip up the frame but low enough that you’d have to worry about the road, Then we come to the front end, you might notice something a little difference from a stock FD...


That’d be the Intercooler stuffed in the bumper, or maybe even that the car has no turn signals? This to me, was one of the biggest pluses to me, for something so small it made such a big difference in cleaning up the front end.



An finally the most stand out aspect of the car, The Works in a soft bronze an polished lips, The biggest obstacle was that I wouldn’t be able to do the car it’s justice on camera for someone would doesn’t have the privilege to see it in person. This car’s future will see Adam’s daughter’s ownership in the not so distant future, “It’s the FD or money for college”
So let’s hope she gets a full ride. Right?
