Something we like to pride ourselves here at MaydayGarage is to bring our readers the best possible coverage of any event we attend. We’ve heard it from many of you that you guys truly love our coverage because not only are the pictures worth saving, but that we tend to bring a more human element to our photos, that is, we like to take photos of what’s actually going on at an event, not just the cars themselves. So my personal goal to you guys is to make this coverage of Wek’Fest’s first ever show here in Texas the best you’ll find on the internet, period. So let’s get going…

It's going down in downtown

Right this way

Gotta make sure she looks purty!

Those Refined Elegance boys showing off the Vertex Ridge kitted SC

Thomas Pinai's dual entries into Wek'Fest

Early morning roll in/wood.

Our Texans cheerleader helping us sell some product!

That's a damn line

YESSSSSS

Geeeeeeez!

Sell sell sell!

Kai demands moar low

Cheesin'

I guess everyone's a photographer now

Our own Danny Barber didn't even know he won Best Nissan.

Line em up!

Wow, the headlights are so nice! Usually they get all yellowed out on SC's.

During roll-in, I spotted this pretty cool red bike on top of an even cooler xB.

Paul from Baker Tuning tanning the top of his head as he rolls in.

Colter Morgan stepping out of his widebody S14 on Rotiforms.

Didn't matter what you drove. If you had style, you were welcomed at Wek'Fest

Time to floss that ride!

Although I was too late to capture it, this civic had some sweet F&F graphics made from painters tape


There's a fine line between Race and Rice. We think this was more on the Race side

We spotted this turbocharged, k series powered RHD Integra with bronze TE's.

Of course John was tickled by it.

NASIOC's first "Top Scoob". More on this car in a future post. Keep your eyes peeled!


This poor guy was bending his fender back to normal. Chalk that up to the game

Ouch.

Cleanin' that bay

Wax on, wax off

Layin' down the WFTX stickers

Jonathan from Swang-n-Bang had an interesting story. Turns out his hood flew open and smashed the shit out of his car

There were some side effects.

John offered to help flatten out the hood

Well at least Jonathan was in good spirits
———————————

Aw the line doesn't look THAT bad.

wait.

Ok nevermind.

And then they started to trickle in....

So much variety!

A really nice blue suby caught all of our attention

Yeah I know, we're obsessed with TE37's. Guilty.

Haaaaayyyyyyyyyy

One of our most favorite cars at the show was Thomas Pinai's stunning GS

Show AND go. We love it.

It looked great from all angles.

The green accents were a really nice touch.

So crazy it looked almost cartoony

Everyone wanted a piece of the Best of Show winner

Wasn't kidding.

Smile!


Friends!

Thomas' other car he brought to the show. Talk about variety


Serious pipes!

Well at least his cars have one common theme. LOW.

swag



Pick a color, any color!


Gotta love the Project Mu's all around



Matt from America's Best Stance Crew

Judging time!

What? It's not even a basketball!

That asian persuasion.

An AE86 with a twist

Sweet! An S13 SR motor

Bizniz

A bit messy, but I dig the handbrake(s)

A sea of shirts for sale

Everyone loves the camera

Most of the time.

Even Team MaydayGarage was selling shirts!

Our limited run shirts were on sale for $20! Now online as well!

John's girlfriend, Ornella, sporting our shirt, and helping us sell em

Our first customers before we even opened!

How could you say no?


Hey look! Our first limited edition sticker! Those are hard to come by



The Louisiana crew was reppin hard like Easton's IS from CZ Wheels

Gettin' down and dirty on this Kouki S14

They're so bright and yellow!


There were quite a handful of VIP minded rides.



Chocolatey!

Or is it caramel?

Futura Brakes were in the house with their assortment of BBK's aimed at the VIP crowd

Damn, do I look like this when I take photos? I need more stance

Futura's demo car was probably my favorite LS there.

Yeah. That's pretty much perfect.

What really got me were the small teal accents. Check out these headlights!

The side sills were definitely a nice touch.


Posing with the models

Amy Markham posing for Danh

Hey! A Texans fan! I'm sure he got a kick out of this

The Hondas had a strong presence at Wek'Fest as well starting with this FIT


It was definitely up to par


Love the color scheme on this Civic


Throwback!

Approved.

Hmmmm another purple Civic

And another??



Speaking of purple, this Vinyl wrapped GS was a headturner

Or is it green?

Dem Brakes

What's everyone staring at?

Well that makes sense.

In AWE

Your turn to gawk

Why do Import Shows always have Break Dancing?

Cause they're both awesome.




We have a winner.

Everything is low at Wek'Fest

Uhhhh are those dual exhaust pipes??

Dennis' red hot NSX (bonnet was popped for the fire marshall)

poppin' hoods

We really liked this Genesis Coupe

Gold Brembos


The Refined Elegance Soarer



Chrome on chrome action

This pretty much sums it up

Danh on sniper patrol





An extremely clean EF four door


I'm guessing the guy hates crips?



This first gen DSM was definitely more on the GO side of things.

Not a security camera


Chowtime!

Damn!


Steve trying to spill cheese in his Supra

JohnP trying not to spill anything cause he hates wasting food

Z on TE's

Son's G fresh from our Lonestar Run

Slammed Suby

Red car, yellow valve cover. Yellow car, red valve cover.


We really don't care for this gen Sentra, but it was really nice


Even the devil would approve.


Close up

This green IS was different in that it was rocking polished Advans



This EG civic was murdered out

Gold rivets: Classy

For many, a mid day nap was in order after a long night of cleaning their cars

Some people didn't even care where they slept

But most just slept in their own cars

And some just didn't care when or where

This car seems familiar

Of course Mike was showing with his boys from Opulence, including Dennis' RX-8

O face.


Lakers fan?


Ziptie whiskers?



Don't you hate when people take pictures of other people taking pictures?

Justin and Matt

You don't need a DSLR to take good photos

The Fabulous Baker Tuning Boys (and girl)


Prelude to a stance


Oooooh

Tupac agrees

Wide O Body

Probably the first time i've seen a 240sx on Rotiforms


You KNOW this guy went back to In-N-Out

A classy S2000

RC car drifting, complete with wrestlers.

It's harder to capture than it looks



Game faces.

These wrestlers are pretty good

This kid did NOT want us touching his pride and joy



Some very unique artwork

Yikes. These fenders have seen better days.


A very tasteful EG hatch

This poor car has been through so much

Edafe from DPE wheels showed us their latest lineup in fat lips.


Mark and Edafe talking about why he's so swole

Holy cow those lips are huge!

Brent's crazy JGTC inspired NSX was being showcased by DPE too, check out his face

Insert fat lip joke here

I want to snuggle up in these


Have a great time!

After many moons, we finally got a chance to catch up with Ben Terry from StanceWorks

No handshakes here. All hugs.

Ben was excited to show us The Lowly Gentlemen's newest driving gloves

I'm not bullshitting when I say that these are the softest, most badass gloves i've ever worn

Look at how easy the fingers bend

I don't think they had any problems selling anything

Badass Camera straps for shutter nerds like us

The tagline says it all

There were no shortage of Euros after all.



Mean army green

The owner took the Army theme to another level, check out the battery box!


We saw a lot of old faces here, including Tot from Louisiana!


Many recognized the car from our video of it doing a nasty burnout

Although I don't remember this guy being there.

Grant's slammed G8

And here he is showing his support for us!


Nicest CRX at Wek'Fest belongs to Stevie Phamo


Fastest CRX? Let me think about it


Fast is contagious

Although it's not always about being the fastest.

Or even about cars...



It's all about trying harder


John and I loved this S2000

The old school Racing Hart Type C's were so money

We obviously weren't the only ones to think that

Dex breaking a sweat working hard


Friends.... How many of us have them?

Baker Tuning made their presence known by showing a plethora of Nissans and Hondas


Oh you know that wasn't cheap.


Bumblebee in a past life.




Lounging around on a Saturday afternoon


I would imagine doing tricks would be extremely difficult


One of my absolute favorite cars there was this Del Sol

IMMACULATE.


I also really liked his buddy's Civic for a few reasons.

There's one reason right there

Different.

There were a number of fast Hondas in attendance, surprisingly.

This Integra was pushing over 700 whp!

y so srs?


Another fast honda

John really liked this RHD ITR on white M7's

So much so, he got his contact info



A pretty cool track inspired EG

Twins

Another fast Integra, these things are everywhere!




Cue the JAWS music

The little green machine

Hulk would be smitten

Not all the Hondas were fast

You can already see a little kid asking his mom what this means


16Niss in the house

Now this was an interesting display



Dat diffused ass

Dat intercooled face

Ess Four Clean

This IS300 was no slouch

It's like a chalkboard!



This Toyota truck was so badass, it won car of the festival

That's what I'm talking about


Apparently, his wheel fell off on the way to Wek'Fest. Damn!

Two of our Mayday cars, Tony's SC and Danny's S15


So when I saw Magic The Gathering cards in Danny's S15, I told him to just put in on his dash for fun

And then when I realized that both Danh and Mikey brought their decks, I told them they should just play on the S15 hood

They took it literal

Probably the best contraceptive out there

NERDSSSS!!

Danny ended up getting the last laugh when he won Best Nissan! WTF!

I should invest in a deck

Must be contagious because Dennis won too!

Danny meeting Mark from Fatlace. Remember this picture, because it will be badass later.

We win
Hope you enjoyed the coverage!
