| The 2008 SEMA show in Las Vegas allow us to take a peak at the up coming products in the aftermarket community. As always there was a good mix of product ranging from audio equipment to wheels. We concentrated on the performance parts for the sport compact market. The product manufacturers plan for this show well in advance to show off their new ideas and try to "show up" their competitors. This makes for an interesting show that can be enjoyed by car enthusiasts from all walks of life. |
| The 2009 Nissan GT-R was out in full force during the 2008 Las Vegas SEMA show. The GT-R has unlimited power and handeling potential in the US market. Many companies were showing off their new exhaust systems and other performance modifications for this car. JSC Speed will be offering GT-R parts to the JSC Speed website as they become available. |

2008-2009 Subaru WRX & STi |
| There were a few 2008 tricked out Subaru WRX and STi models at the show. Seibon had a sharp looking STi that really stood out of the crowd. There were no 2009 WRX models at the show due to their recent release and limited availability. There were not as many of these cars at this years SEMA then in years past. |

| The 2008 SEMA show had some really nice Evo X's there showing off their stuff. It is good to see so many companies embracing the new model and taking it to new levels. The Eneos Evo X had an awesome paint job it looked super clean. ARC had an interesting intake system available which was unlike any others that were at the show.

Nissan 305Z & Infiniti G35 |
| There were not as many 350z's and G35's at the show as anticipated. Most of the ones that were at the show had a mild list of modifications. Body kits, wheels, and tint were the most common modifications to the 350z and G35 cars that were there. The two cars that stood out most were the one featuring a swapped motor. There was a 305Z with a 2JZGTE engine from the 4th generation Toyota Supra. This straight six cylinder motor looked very clean in the 350z engine bay and didn't look cluttered at all. There was a sweet black G35 with an RB26 engine from the early Nissan Skyline GT-R with pink turbos! These swapped cars were a big hit and drew a big crowd.

| Year after year the SEMA show offers an exciting glimpse into the future of the aftermarket manufactures offerings and the 2008 show was no different. There was an impressive amount of new offerings for the GT-R that ranged from body kits to full bolt on power up grades. The 350z and G35s at the show were out fitted with high horsepower turbo kits and there were even a few interesting swaps! There were not as many Subaru projects but the ones there were there had very wild modifications with fully built engines. The new product offerings such as the MAF corrected intakes will be a huge hit once released. The turbo charged Viper that Fidanza brought to the show was an awesome car. The products and vehicles at the 2008 SEMA were exciting and next years show will be no different.
