2014 SEMA Show Recap
& Random Ramblings

One has to admire Magnus Walker’s new Porsche Build and his excessive use of louvers. I really liked how it was just a rolling shell, which made me admire the details of the body more so then if it would have been completed.

The new 2015 Mustang is a winner in my books but not so much when it’s on ridiculous looking oversized wheels that barely fit in the fenders.

This Porsche 918 Spyder garnered a good amount of attention at the show but I failed to see what the real buzz was about. Other than being new, expensive, rare, and on a set of HRE wheels, which look awesome by the way, the car was stock. This is SEMA, were custom built machines are meant to be the name of the game.

I’m not sure what Ford was trying to show off with this display at their booth, but I assume its how precisely cut their turbo turbines are? Nevertheless, it was very cool to see how detailed the engineering is in such a small yet critical part.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. has stepped up the drift truck game with his incredibly wild looking 2015 Ford F150 truck. Despite the low stance, I saw this beast catching air at the Ford proving grounds. Insanity!

It didn’t take long for Rota to knock-off Volk Racings ZE-40 wheel design. I still struggle how they can directly copy the design of so many wheels yet nothing can legally be done to stop them.

Best display of a product had to go to Turbosmart with its elaborate maze of piping that interconnected to create one show-stopping piece housing many of the wastegates Turbosmart offers.

This was also a very clever booth display from Hella. I pity the poor soul that has to clean up all that styrofoam, though.

Imagine this Chevy Impala on a set of proportionately sized rims and all of a sudden it’s a pretty bad ass ride.

I mean if you’re going to go big, do it up right and go REALLY big, like this donked out Camaro!

There’s no more need to buy a legit Honda Ruckus and customize it when you can buy the knock-off version ready to go. No thanks.

K&N had this beyond-stunning custom Indian motorcycle at their booth that I couldn’t stop admiring. There are so many cool aspects to it, but that front fork and titanium exhaust had to be my favorites. I think the guy in the background agrees with me.

And that wraps up what was quite a hectic and crazy week for me, but I hope you get a sense of what I saw and experienced at the SEMA Show this year. If you have any comments, be sure to leave them below. I’d love to hear your thoughts on my opinions on these cars. Good or bad!
