Get Show-Ready for Wekfest LA 2026

Wekfest LA is one of the flagship stops on the modified-car show circuit, and the 2026 date is now confirmed.

When is Wekfest LA 2026?

September 20, 2026, at the Los Angeles Convention Center — confirmed directly on the venue's own event listing.

What is Wekfest, if you haven't been?

Wekfest is a touring show built around heavily modified builds — widebody kits, deep stance, and show-level attention to detail, with JDM builds heavily represented alongside domestic and European ones. LA is traditionally one of the largest stops on the tour.

What's worth checking on your interior before show day

Judges and other builders notice the cabin as much as the exterior. A few things worth a look before Sept 20:

  • Shift knob condition — a worn, mismatched, or loose factory knob stands out in photos far more than it does day to day.
  • Fitment, not just looks — a knob that wobbles or sits at the wrong height reads as unfinished even on an otherwise clean build. Confirm your thread size before swapping anything in.
  • Consistency with your build's theme — our 190mm and 254mm sizes are the two we hear about most often for show builds specifically, since the extra height reads well in photos without changing the shift throw.

Planning to go?

If you're finishing an interior before Wekfest LA, the full range ships made-to-order — worth ordering with enough runway before show day rather than the week of.
