The 2013 Manila International Auto Show is an event that really gave everyone a glimpse of what the car manufacturers had in their line-ups for this year. A total of 28 automotive brands joined the show, and nine new model debuts and launches were held. Of course, with us being Pinoys, more often than not, we can never let our cars remain stock for long. So this event really gave us a glimpse of what the platforms of our future project cars would be.

So allow us to take you around the Manufacturer’s booths at the 2013 Manila International Auto Show. Enjoy!

Being the car enthusiasts that we all are, and of course with this being Custom Pinoy Rides, we’re all curious about what brand new vehicles the various automobile manufacturers are coming up with. This gives us an idea on what we want our next new car(s) to be, so we can start thinking of how we can customize them to suite our unique tastes.

Keith Haw Porsche Cayman S Custom Pinoy Rides Philip Aragones
Keith Haw is THE MAN to talk to if you’re looking to get an exotic set of DPE custom forged wheels here in the Philippines. And if there’s one thing I know about Keith, it’s that he’s a guy who doesn’t take shortcuts. To him, things better be done right, otherwise, there’s no point in doing it at all. That type of philosophy translates into his passion for cars. Just take a look at his spectacular Porsche Cayman S. What Keith has done was to take Porsche’s award-winning sports car, and sourced nothing but the best aftermarket and performance parts he can put his hands on. It didn’t matter if he had to bring in parts from abroad, so long as he got what he wanted. No shortcuts, no easy way out.

Read on to see the rest of the photos as well as the full spec sheet of Keith Haw’s stunning Porsche Cayman S…

VEILSIDE FORTUNE MAZDA RX-7 TOKYO DRIFT Movie Car Replica by JSK Custom

VEILSIDE FORTUNE MAZDA RX-7 TOKYO DRIFT JSK Manila Auto Salon Custom Pinoy Rides Philip Aragones pic1
The Tokyo Drift movie was known as the Fast and the Furious Installment that didn’t have a powerhouse cast. I personally thought that if it weren’t about drifting, it would have been a big risk for the production team to do this movie without any big star actors. But lo and behold, there actually was a big star in the movie – the legendary Veilside Fortune Mazda RX-7, Best of Show winner of the 2005 Tokyo Auto Salon!

So upon finding out that there will be a replica of the actual movie car in the 2012 Manila Auto Salon, I was ecstatic! Actually, I think everyone who knew about it was ecstatic. So we took a ton of photos of it for a feature here at Custom Pinoy Rides. Take note, when I mention “replica” in this article, by no means am I saying the Veilside Fortune kit seen here is a replica. I just mean to say that this project is a replica of the movie car. Just to make things clear. Now let’s move forward.

Allow us to take you a tour around this spectacular machine – the Veilside Fortune Mazda RX-7 Tokyo Drift Movie Car Replica by JSK Custom Paint and Auto Works…
