driftgirl- thanks im really excited to go.  this is my first year actually going so i would love to set something up but i have no idea where we would meet up.. so how bout a veteran try to set up a lunch meet or something?  preferrably on thursday or friday because i heard those were the slower days

Wow, MrKenji is moving up in the world.  Being able to present your car in the Dunlop tent, deserves a big CONGRATS!!!!
 
How much do tickets run for a daily/weekly pass?

[B]Mr.Kenji:[/B] I have a couple meetings and an interview..and im going to see "O":runcoold:.  Let me check on those times and then start getting a lunch or dinner meet for us local folks:biggthumpup: 
 
I usually dont bother with industry events. Im not into the "Import Model" thing, so Ive just passed on SEMA over the years. Im really excited to go this year tho :giggity:
 
 Also, I think its great that they (your Tire Sponsor) acknowleged the hard work youve put in for them....and we are all excited to have a local reppin for the NW:runcoold:
 
[B]IS3_FTW:[/B] Its an "Industry Only" event, not open to the public. Next time you can hit up a shop thats going and get one of their spots. Its only 15 bucks for the entire event...but they cap the number of spots each attendee can buy :sad:

Any golfers interested in going out during the week?  We have a house on a golf course  :runcoold:

Congrat bro !

does anybody know any good spots to hang after sema.?

party after SEMA? SEMA is one big ridiculous party filled with man sausages every where you go.

Hit up the DUB party at Tryst Wednesday Night. Also check out the Junction Produce booth #11975 and Air Runner booth #25117.

I cant wait to go.....im cruzin up with some guys from hRE also ......ill swing by some of the peps booths and say hi....

Im here in vegas already... flew in last night.. Visiting as much family as I can before I go dark... I mean, once sema starts, none of my family will see me... oh yeah, question... I registered for sema online under my work. Filled out everything, and I got a confirmation number, and paid with my credit card. Was emailed that everything went through. I didn't get anything in the mail, like a badge or anything... at sema, can I just go to like a ticket booth and get my badge there? Or what should I do? Last time I went to sema was like 5-6yrs ago so I don't remember how I did things then... im getting in one way or another, I didn't pay money to be in the same city and not be able to go to one of the greatest car shows ever. All help is greatly appreciated.... see you guys there..

Look up your name here and it will say if it was mailed out or not.

Im headed to the venue in about an hour.......HELLA EXCITED!!!:dance:

sema party at TAO Venetian tonight doors open at 10pm. its called Highrolling II :dance::dance:

Wow.....show is a LOT smaller than year prior.  Foot traffic was also way down....felt like a Friday, not the opening day.  Previous SEMA attendees will understand what I mean.  I don't think I'll be going all 4 days.  I can prob finish up tomorrow and then concentrate on my golf game !!!!

We'll be there on Thurs. Hope to see some familiar faces there.

the car use to be that brownish color and it's a new project we came up with a few weeks ago.  if you guys wanna check it out i think it's in the infiniti/nissan booth.  i haven't been to the show yet so i don't know exactly where it's at.

As AutofashionG20 said... it's in the Nissan booth, it's a M35X (AWD) Mazora paint, Junction Produce kit, Airrunner, Volk/Rays Wheels (forgot what model) suede headliner, diamond seat inserts..greddy turbo kit, Junction exhaust... some junk in the trunk... hahaha. it will be at the vip festival on the 9th as well!! =)

[QUOTE=mdenoga;202158]Wow. Thats a crazy color for that car. What booth??[/QUOTE]

Its definitely fresh cant wait to see more pics from the rest of the show...damn I hate Im missing it this year

Sweet M, love the kit, roof spoiler and exhaust that M has some good taste....hehehehe

more pics and info later...esp on the turbo....=)

that the one pancakes was talkin bout

yeah its a twin turbo. Props to AF for finishing that car in a short time

beauty.....

[quote=vip tint+glass;202311]that the one pancakes was talkin bout[/quote]
 
=)
 
I pretty much saw this car go from stock to show! This thing is pretty bad ass!
It has a full greddy twin turbo kit w/ the turbos hidden very well! W/ the engine covers on you can't even see anything which is kinda sweet! Too bad the intercooler so big or it would be a dope sleeper! And it's AWD!!!!!!! Full inteior w/ that diamond pattern seats and Airrunner. This was a pretty qucik build at that!
 
The sad part is, it has no VIN number so after it goes to a few shows, I heard they're gonna crunch the car :sad:
 
It was jus a donor car for SEMA :shrug:
 
 
Came out pretty decent IMO!

thanks for the kind comments, the car is still unfinished, but like many has said, AutoFashion did a fine job handling this car from ICE to interior to suspension (car was assigned from Nissan North America not till mid September, built in 40 to 45 days from complete stock); anyways, hope to see you guys on the 9th! :)

very sad times.  i was at SEMA however on ,my way traveling down with my car there was an accident and so my car sustained damage and was not able to make it all the way down to SEMA, my heart was broken when it happened but the only thing i can say is that i am alright as well as the other passenger that was with me.  i did continue down to SEMA after leaving my car at a friends shop and tried to make the best of things.  im back in town now and have to come back to reality to try to deal with finding out how much damage i will be looking at.

hey bro my bad for not responding back to you sooner, everything got waay hectic from that whole week of sema then the VIP meet, it was nuts and i was totally over whelmed!!

so where is vip SEMA car ? i didnt see any

This year SEMA fell on election day. To no surprise, that was the talk of the week. With the economy still trying to recover, I must say SEMA was still big as ever. Although, rumor has it that vendors were down 35% and general attendance was breaking an all time low of 40%.

The SEMA car of this year was a clean 3 way tie. Dodge Challenger, Nissan GT-R, and surprisingly the SMART car.

6 days in Vegas, 4 days of PR, 1 Hot Rod banquet and plenty of great food, these are my top SEMA 2008 cars and booths to keep an eye for in 2009.

Enjoy!

TETSU GT-R, complete widebody in matte white with signature designs throughout the entire car. My pick, of best of show. This car was shipped over from Japan to the Toyo booth. Those that follow may remember this car when debuted to be a different color. It was flat gold on black. By far the meanest looking Bently I have ever seen.

Aristo fans will appreciate the Ueno drift demo car that sports none other than Ueno's own Vertex aero parts, HKS motor, and Project Mu bbk. Still great to see after all these years of competition. The roll cage is a very famous work of art by a well renowned fabricator. To give you an idea, the cage cost nearly $30k and you would be on the waiting list for 10 months.

ENEOS sported a huge booth that included some very nice cars. The Zele orange GT-R, AutoConcept widebody flat orange EVOX, a Formula 1, and a rather nice 997 by Vertistiner. Check out their lovely eye candy!

Not too many Hot Rods this year, but this fine '32 sure caught my eye... okay it was the tiny Popeye decal that got me.

Another company that have been pushing hard these couple of years is K Sport. Although I do not have first hand experience with their product, they seem to represent every year with a very nice booth. This is their new product, complete Air Sus System. I did find out they will be using UAS bags with their setup in the future.

My favorite GT-R at SEMA had to be the Northern Cali owned GT-R in the Status booth. This car had the best blend of parts especially the custom finished HRE wheels in step-lip. Brushed lip and clear coated and rough matte dark grey face. That is thinking outside the box!

Mobile 1 housed 2 very anticipated cars for SEMA, the Bulletproof GT-R and the iForged widebody TechArt 997. The GT-R rocked a set of BBS LM, Endless monoblock racing calipers, and all the eye candy and go fast products fresh from the East. I counted almost 4 sets of BBS LMs on GT-Rs and Bulletproof almost supplied each and every car. Rumor has it the owner of this GT-R shed out another $80k on top of the car to get it ready for SEMA. Deep pockets. The widebody 997 had a very clean set of wheels and the body work was flawless.

The HONDA booth was bumping with music and great cars. Danica Patrick was present with her Formula 1 car. Neil of Tjin Edition built a '09 fit with old school BBS wheels and this crazy looking Accord stole the show. This is clean execution of what an Euro Accord can look like. HOT!

CUSCO was present with another killer booth with 2 very special cars. Funny, Monday night Dave takes me to the best Japanese food in town. Strangely it was where we met the president of CUSCO and J's Racing. I guess even they know which restaurant to eat at when in town. Anyways, the STI is all business and will be running the US Time Attack events in '09. The other car is one mean looking G37 or Skyline in Japan. You may recognize this car to be on the cover of Super Street a few months back and yes it was white. This is the AutoConcept HIGH END built Skyline repainted in matte black. It also sports a complete redesign bumper. What is unique about this car is almost everything. The exterior is the only widebody G37 so far since this new body style is pretty new. The custom design engine is a work of art and was tuned by the famous MINES Japan ECU with a custom 1 of 1 certificate. Wheels are SSR, suspension is all CUSCO, and seats are BRIDE. When asked if the car will be seeing any track time, the owner prefers HIN which is why this car also has a host of monitors and Ice. On Thursday, media was storming their booth. Why? Sony just awarded the G37 their Grand Turismo Award which means this car will be made into the next GT game. Such an honor.

FORD once again had their same location in the Central hall. They push this year was the FLEX. Plenty of examples built by tuner shops were on display alone the 3 modified Focus and some rather interesting cars. This over-the-top build started life as a Focus but evidently it turned out to be nothing compact and more alien. The rollers in the rear was a massive 24" inches and it actually had 2 steering wheels, one on each side. Crazy.
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3164/3018053667_61e34b8dd3_o.jpg[/img]

Another car causing much attention inside FORD was this all steel one seater Hot Rod looking like an old school fighter plane:

SSR & Tanabe was present with another fresh booth with equally fresh cars. I was lucky enough to also meet the president ot Tanabe, turns out he is super down to earth and spoke perfect English. We chatted about different cultures, hard times in the industry, ie. Trust/Greddy Japan, and what's new for 2009. Auto Concept was again rocking with new cars. This time it was another widebody Top Secret Supra and a matte black 350Z. Are there any other show team that can compete..? I doubt it.

SCION for the third straight year had their build-off challenge right in the entrance of Central Hall. This year our very own local Mark of FATLACE were chosen to build one of the TCs. Check out the wide body by B Magic. Notice the gloss on flat color. Very subtle. Great job Mark!

The winner of the SCION Tuner Challenge went to John with his Porsche inspired widebody all CF TC. The wheels are Jlines in a ridiculous 20x11 in the rear all finished in track ready matte black. John took a gamble and went over budget and ended up shooting out of pocket for this build, but surely it has paid off. Congrats homie!

The last competitor was Eddie Hahm from Fast Eddies. His rendition was completely a different direction with influence taken from the traditional hot rods. In recent years more examples are surfacing with Imports converted into a Domestic theme. I love it. Keep on thinking outside the box.

Beside the TETSU GT-R inside of TOYO Tires booth, they also had another Bulletproof Nissan GT-R. BBS LM, Endless BBK.. do you see an obvious relation here:
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3171/3018863382_9a97bcec8e_o.jpg[/img]

Team Hybrid had their own GT-R in the Falken booth. Check out that custom wing and carbon goodies:

Jon of Jonari was once again on hand displaying why they are the elite distributers of some very hard to obtain products, including: WALD, Rinspeed, VITT, and more. Jon came out full force with a Smart, BMW M5, new C-class and one sick Bently.

One good thing with iForged is they will be offering Step Lip barrels for all their 3-piece applications. It's about time!!

Best Porsche of SEMA had to be the 997 GT Street R by TechART. This car had ppl picking up their jaws. Check out the dry carbon kit, grey on black color design, and just an overall well executed package. I know a few ppl already planning on ordering this kit.

Tuesday night while watching the Election on one of the Jumbo Tron in one of the Hilton banquet halls, I met a nice guy who turned out to be a major distributer for BMW Germany Motorsport OEM products. Located in Arizona, he specializes in track car fabrications. This was his car in the RAYS Machin booth:

KW suspension from Germany debuted their new hydraluic height adjustable coilover. This thing actually had a pump and oil line to raise and lower the coilover up to 2 inches. Pretty trick using old school technology. Currently the application is only for exotics, but the company plans to launch this as an adaptable unit to any KW coilover suspension.

Neil of Tjin Edition debuted their GM G8 project at the GM booth. Highlights include Corvette brakes, One Lug wheels, custom interior, ICE, pinstriping and the GM Design Award. Congrats buddy! Now get this to the Goodguys events!

Airrunner of ACC had a new product this year. Instead of using other third party digital controllers, ACC have developed their own controller to control dampening. Nice!

Airride Technologies took Air Sus to another level and won an award for their new product.. The Internal Ride Height Sensor. This little chip board sits inside the bag and sends out readings digitally to the brain. The new system will forever by pass any analog pressure sensors mounted through fittings and lines and will ease up install and less hardware. Always ahead of the game is Airride Tech.

SEIBON must be doing very well.. just check out their booth. This year they had 7 cars on display all in white with nothing but the best wet carbon, dry carbon and a few interesting carbon fabric options. Their GT-R had the cleanest dry carbon pieces including bumpers, hood, trunk, wing. a complete widebody E46 was causing much attention as-well-as their Lexus ISF. Check out the optional fabric that almost looks like chrome metal weaves. HOT!!

Rj Devera built a subtle ISF but very tasteful. Black wheels, black lip, black roof, black trunk and black rear bumper valence.. all on white with blue calipers. Notice the rear trunk borrows from the BMW CLS trunk with an elevated lip. Very nice!

TEIN promoted a FORD Mustang along with a EVO X. In the changing auto industry today, the only to survive is to adapt with different cultures and trends, therefore look for more companies to produce more domestic products just to continue to last State side.

Hyundai made a huge presence this year with the all new Genesis and 2 door version along with a full Drift ready track car driven Rhy Millen. HKS built the red 2 door demo with a complete Kenstyle kit. Kenstyle actually sent their best designer to the states and produced the kit here in SoCal. Awesome job!

Airrunner had this Dodge Challenger in their booth along side a BMW X3. This Challenger was over the top. Ones with a keen eye will notice the 4" inch wider rear quarter panel all chizzled in metal. The Forigato wheels are a massize 24" inch with a 7" inch lip. crazy!

Danica Patrick is NOT in formula 1 nor the car is in formula 1. It is actually an indy car. formula 1 is way out of her league. most indy car drivers cant handle formula 1 cars
