Surely there had to be some VIP cars at SEMA this year.......apparently I suck at searching the intraweb. Anyone have any?
My friend works for Nitto and took some pics when he was there setting up. They arent really VIP but still clean.

There actually wasn't a whole lot of representation that "I" saw but a lot of nice cars in general. Granted SEMA is huge so I am sure I only got see maybe 50% of everything. I wish I could have made it to the Lexus Drive.

I didn't even know that Tsuzuku came over until mid week. From a vendor's perspective, the show had 30% fewer vendors, and foot traffic was also down significantly. I was actually able to drive on the strip with no problems....which never happens. Also on the way home, we got through airport security in 5 minutes....which also never happens. I guess the economy has a huge impact on the industry....

It was in the North Hall with some other random ass shit. Placed in the wrong area. What is this other company you were talking about because I was actually helping out at their booth. And my badge said Junction Produce Co Ltd. =p And I agree the show was small.
I should have some of my pics to post up soon. Also, it looked like a Junction Produce Booth to me. Sorry i missed you, Mike. I'll probably catch you soon at an event soon or later.
i am actally planning to go sema next year for the 1st time. hopefully it will be better next one.
we debut the m35x @ Nissan North America's OE booth, some here from another thread took pictures before we slap on the sponsors roll call. =)

We just end up with not the best spot since we were late a bit but Junction Produce took care of the bill for SEMA and alot more outside of SEMA show :dance:. I personally have to thank the President of Junction Produce since my crew and I had our best time in vegas ever and I can't wait for next year.
I had a blast too.....Vegas is the shit! So, I was gambling at the tables over at the Luxor Friday night.......when I look up to the table next to me and see the President of Junction Produce and his staff.....it was great....I couldnt help myself but to go over and introduce myself.......They are really down to earth peeps:biggthumpup:
DAMN that would have been cool to gamble a little with them.

The wheel, wheel fitment and the stance is honestly all wack, plus the paint and bodykit fitment is little off comparing to how it used to be. I am sorry, but I give it a major thumbs down knowing what and how it used to be.
Nice pics Gato digging the 71-73 Camaro and that dually is phat...
