Brothers Performance coverage of SEMA 2009 - OUTSIDE
So SEMA is well under way, and boy are the cars HOT and the news FLYING!!! New Parts, New Customizations, News every hour (it feels like, anyway!). Part one of our SEMA coverage from Las Vegas is going to be cars on the OUTSIDE… If you’re familiar with the Specialty Equipment Market Association convention in Las Vegas at all, you’ve heard that the show on the OUTSIDE is almost as hot as the show on the INSIDE (no desert heat pun intended… it’s November and every day is a balmy and breezy 85 degrees).
So here are the pictures, every one is click-able for larger images…
The Las Vegas Convention center is HUGE. I mean like 3 LAS VEGAS blocks huge. Anyone who’s tried to walk around Vegas knows that a Los Vegas Block is about the size of a football field…
Ford is the Official Automotive Brand of SEMA 2009, and with the Mustang being Ford’s best selling car, we were sure to see lots of them out in the parking lot. 281performance Mustangs were very well represented.
Shelby and Roush Mustangs abounded, of course.
One of the greatest things about a Mustang is that you never have to have an identical Mustang next to you at any car show, let alone at a mall. There are SO many ways to customize them, even the front ends rarely look the same! Of course, Brothers Performance sells a fair number of grills, headlights, and hoods! (here)
Some nice classic Mustangs were very well attended too:
This was probably my Favorite of the outdoor ’stangs:
Yeah, I’m a sucker for the Shelbys. I’d never seen one of these before.
VERY nice badging!
(I’m using this shot as my desktop wallpaper)
These headlights (here) are quite popular, especially inside the show.
This black bad boy was especially hard to photograph. Notice that behind
thos headlight splitters the plastic covering the headlights is blackened too.
It was all very “KITT”, but still super cool. Nice Hood, too!
Like many of my friends, an italian designed sports car makes my feel
all funny inside. More than a few of these around the parking lot!
Fellow Corona resident gearheads, West Coast Customs had a large part of
the parking lot carved out for themselves. They brought quite a few examples
of their handiwork as well. I loved this old Bel Air Coupe…
Be sure to come back tomorrow for pictures from INSIDE SEMA show…. Camaros, Mustangs,
Challengers… Wheels, Tires, Exhausts… oh my!
