Major Trends from SEMA 2014

SMEA 2014 is over, an amazing show has come to a close. 4 days of aftermarket automotive madness in all its glory. Here's what we saw as the major themes...

#ROCKETBUNNYEVERYWHERE

rb_nsx_nitto rb_nitto lexus_rcf_rb lexus_rcf_rb2 From the Blue Chrome Acura NSX masterpiece in the Nitto Tires booth to the RCF in the Lexus booth, TraKyoto / Miura-San has made his presence well known outside of the FR-S scene. These things do multiply like bunnies!

#OLDSCHOOLISSTILLCOOL

mustang_rtr2 mustang-RTR From the Mustang RTR to the multiple amazing hot rod builds in the central hall, the domestic aftermarket (some say the originators of the aftermarket) is still going strong.

#COMPETITIONISGOOD

#YOUCANMODANYTHING

#RACECARSWELCOME
