It's that time of the year again: the SEMA Show swooped into Las Vegas for its annual four days of exhibiting the latest and greatest in the automotive aftermarket industry, drawing the industry's brightest minds from all over the world. Over 1 million square feet of exhibition space is used at the Las Vegas Convention center to showcase all the new and innovative products of the automotive specialty market. Next year's hottest trend? It's anyone's guess, but chances are that it will be on display at the SEMA Show.
The SEMA Show is an industry-only trade show, so no products are sold to consumers here, but you can bet that multi-million dollar business deals are happening behind closed doors at many of the exhibitor booths. In order to attract potential new business, exhibitors don't spare any expense with their booths, stocking them with some of the craziest modified cars seen anywhere -- some crazy cool, some crazy absurd. Some are actually streetable, and others not so much, unless you want rock chips in that grill-mounted LCD display, curb rash on the 30" rims, or hoodlums stealing the crystals off your super bling rimsThe SEMA Show isn't complete without the beautiful booth girls, and as tough a job as it is, we grudgingly accept the task of photographing them.
Part 1 of our coverage is generously sponsored by Extreme Dimensions. Extreme Dimensions has a new line of body kits using DuraFlex, which is more flexible than fiberglass and about 1/2 the cost of urethane. Their new DuraFlex body kits are made with a shiny gel-coated black finish, and they include quality mesh grills and detailed instructions. Extreme Dimensions also makes carbon fiber products which are available through their Carbon Creations brand.
