Yes I know there's a SEMA thread so get off me. That thread is pretty much dead and I know people don't want to scroll through the random talk and such just to see pictures

Anyways, I was invited by SEMA to attend the show this year. I was let in early this morning before everyone else and took a few pictures with my phone. I brought my DLSR but forgot the damn cord at home, so iPhone pictures will have to do for now.

I took about 30 pictures on my phone, and about 900 on my real camera, but I'm only posting a few to tease everyone


As soon as I stepped out of the taxi this morning...



Inside the building...





Meanwhile outside...



And the new Scion FR-S concept...



More to come tomorrow afternoon! Stay tuned

For anyone curious, that is the first aventador delivered to the owner of GFG, Diko.

Nice pics.

Alright you hoes, here are some pictures. I took almost 1000 but selected ~280 for your viewing pleasure.

These haven't been edited at all and the show was so packed that I couldn't get any real fancy shots. I was just taking pictures just to take them, not to look like a professional.

No I didn't put spaces between the pictures. Sorry.

iTrader: (3)

I didn't even go into Central Hall today. I'll be hitting that up tomorrow as well as going back to the Aventador and a few other favorites at the show.

So far SEMA has been effing amazing. I'm glad this isn't open to the public because it's hard enough trying to get a decent picture without someone walking in-front of you.

I'll be looking out for the CLK63 Black that's had a thread created about it. I saw jjasha's Genesis coupe but forgot to upload the picture. There are MANY more cars and products to see in the Central Hall so I look forward to posting pictures for everyone!

Sweeet! I see a few of our cars in your photos, including vipTL!

Did you happen to see this my boss' car?


I'm probably flying out tomorrow night, gotta drive a car back home lol. Damn school ruined my SEMA show again!! Did you go to PURE yesterday? I heard the afterparties sucked major balls this year.

Damn awesome pics Tyler. So jealous you got to go. I really need to start focusing on getting back in the next few years.

That BMW wagon is sick.

Damn, some really sick rides there. Actually, most of them are pretty awesome. A few ones on there... but that's to be expected at a show that promotes excess. But damn, most are just

Holy fark..

These are some of the best pics on the net of the show right now. Well done.

Of all those insane cars above, I think this is my favorite pic.

^I agree!! 56 Chev....classic

AMAZING Pics!!! Tyler you lucky bastard!!!! You are living out one of my car fantasies!!!!

WTF is up with this one though??....RHD 350Z Panamera?? Yikes

ttribe

Some very cool stuff! Thanks for taking the time to post these up.


One side comment though - that purple 3G TL was HORRENDOUS.

MarbleGT

Best.Post.Evar.

I went through all the pictures 3 times.

Thanks!

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Wow, yalls comments are better than I thought they would be! I think these pictures suck!

It's so hard to get a decent picture because people are constantly walking in-front of you.

As for some quick responses, yeah I saw the red 5-series wagon. That thing is NASTY! I took pictures of it but I guess I forgot to upload those last night. I'll be making second rounds of everything again today to try to get better pictures.

Like I said before, the pictures that I posted were of cars from North and South hall, along with cars outside. I haven't even visited Central hall yet and that's the biggest of the three

Just went through them on my phone, I'll have to go over the pictures again on my desktop. If possible would you be able to check out CT engineering booth, I'm curious to hear their progress/status of 4G SC'er and ice box.

Thanks for the photos yo! I didn't get a chance to go over to SEMA this year being stuck walking the AAPEX show all day Tuesday. Your photos made me feel like I was there minus the sore feet from walking through the giant vastness that SEMA is.

ACCURATEin

You Sir, deserve an award for passion, dedication, and comprehensiveness.

This is a super post.

Thank you for your time and consideration.



Yoar fotografee skillz are veddy nice.

MarbleGT

Dude, artsy pictures and eye candy are fun to look at, but your pictures are perfect. No weird angles, no photographer trying to take the best pictures hes ever taken of every single car...in your pics we get the whole car in most cases with no obstructions or over the top lens flare.

A++++

Nice work!

Great pics, Tyler!! Thanks for taking the time to post.

So many great looking cars...and just as many horrible ones. It never ceases to amaze me what some people will waste good money on.

It's a 350Z.

Hey Tyler cool has pictures! Good meeting you! Vegas and SEMA crazy right? Thanks for the pictures. If any questions about the Pamera Z, VIP modular had that flown over from Japan. The owner spent 100k on that project at least, and 8k to ship it. he bought all real panamera fenders, headlights, tailights, even the Porsche key fob. The quality and craftsmanship of that car is superb and you will need to see it in person to appreciate it.

did you guys see this..



lol.. monster truck couldn't see the little porsche and bam...



but did you also get to see what happened to his other car (range rover)..

Yeah man I saw that sexy ass wagon. I've got quite a few pictures of it. I'll be sorting through and posting them later

Nah I didn't do any of the after parties or any of that shit.

Your TSX could be (and should be) at SEMA next year.

Thank you!

That Chevy was gorgeous. You can't see it in the picture but it's from Alberta, Canada.

I'm pretty sure I have more pictures of it. I've got almost 1300 to sort through so give me some time

No problem

The Grape Jelly TL is hawt son! I don't know what you're talking about

No problem! I couldn't fly all the way out here and take 1000+ pics and NOT post them to Acurazine

I searched all over, looked through the maps, and even asked 3 or 4 people about CT and they weren't there

My feet are absolutely killing me. I've been walking all over the damn place.

How was the AAPEX show?

Thanks dude! Now buy me some Sonny's bitch!

Thanks! Yeah you can tell in a few pictures that the sun wasn't cooperating but like you mentioned, I wasn't trying to win an award with my pictures.



No problem Jack! I'm glad you came out of Regions to find my thread

While there were some gorgeous and tasteful cars, a few had me wondering why they were there

Jay

Nice meeting up with you dude! Did you make into South Hall to see the Aventadors and such?

While I can respect the work and money put into the Porsche/Z, I'm still not a fan. BUT if his goal was to get people to look at it, then he did a great job. People were all over that thing.

Damn I didn't see that. I saw the good side but not the bad

What happened to the Range? Sounds like someone has pretty shitty luck.

You're welcome





So I went back to the show this morning and went through Center Hall where the performance parts are. Shit was massive! I checked out the WCC area as well and I was pretty dissapointed with what they brought out. I forgot to check out the CLK63 today (fuck!) but overall I saw everything I wanted to see.

Anyways I only took about 225 pictures today so it shouldn't take me too long to sort through them and decide what I want to post.

a backdrop fell onto it leaving a nice dent/scratch

Actually looks pretty good. Thought it was a 1G TSX at first glance.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Alright, here's a shit ton more pictures that I took today. You'll see that the Chevrolet area was pretty cool. They had the new ZL1 Camaro and the COPO Camaro as well.

I still have close to 800 pictures from yesterday that I have to sort through and edit. Do you guys even want to see those? I'll upload them if you want but if not, they will just sit where they are

Once again my pictures aren't perfect. My camera and I weren't getting along today and a lot of my pictures came out underexposed. I edited them and brightened them up a bit but some became overexposed. Fml.

Anyways, here you go. Enjoy and "thank" my post

hhaha thanks ill make sure i do more shit to make sure it even more horrendous.

Sorry man. Not a fan of the wheels and the stance.

ETA: I would have been a bit more diplomatic had I realized the owner was on this board. My sincere apologies at coming off as a jerk with that comment.

vipTL

iTrader: (2)

NP, i dont take offense easily, since i got the new wheels its been hit or miss with these forum boards, which i figured would happen. Many on here seem to be more conservative. Should have seen peoples reactions at SEMA to my wheel fitment lol, they were all mind fu*cked. Even my tire sponsor was like OMG your tire stretch is insane.

chill_dog

I spend most of my time outside of Regions; I just spend NONE in 3G. I can't help that you sometimes fail and post things there .

Definitely some scary stuff there, but the awesome that you get to see out weighs it, in my opinion. The only problem with SEMA coverage is that it reinforces how much I want a new car because I see cars I want and some of the cool stuff you can do to them . Still, I love how you've posted more pics than any of the online car mags...their paid people have done less than a guy doing it simply because he can .

SilverSVT

You still have more too, don't you? I think I saw you mention you hadn't even made it to the Central Hall yet. And being one of the only areas where I remember any cars, I haven't seen those yet. Bring'em on!

I was there for work, and since we don't do any of the flashy stuff at our company my boss and I just avoid the most of the areas where it is and stay focused. So I greatly appreciate you going to all this work to share b/c this is actually how I am seeing most of the show too! Sad, I know.

I saw you make a comment about it being a pain to take pics b/c of all the people. Not to bash you, b/c I truly do appreciate being able to see what I couldn't in person, but you also have to look at this from the other side.

In my case a lot of the people there (my boss and I included) are not there for fun and on a tight schedule to accomplish as much as possible in the short amount of time our company allows. Having to stop to try not to walk in front of people taking pics is also a pain.

But I am subscribing b/c I want to see more and be able to share with my friends what I saw but couldn't take pics of. I don't even take my camera to eliminate the distraction.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

I fail? Never!

Trust me, walking around and getting up close and personal with those cars makes me wonder why I mod my car

I'm really impressed with the new Charger. The interior is downright gorgeous and it's much more aggressive looking than the last model.

Attending SEMA has always been a dream of mine. Year after year I look at the coverage and have always said, "there has to be more than that". Like you said, I feel like there are hundreds of professional photographers there with their fancy equipment, yet they only take a few hundred pictures. Yeah sure, their pictures may turn out better than mine, but at least I covered just about everything at the show.



The second large batch of photos I posted was from Central Hall. Any of the performance parts, the Chevrolet and Ford sections as well, was located in Central Hall. I have quite a few photos left but it would be a pain to figure out what I've already uploaded and what I haven't

I understand that the show isn't just for shits and giggles. It's a HUGE and vital part to most car part manufacturers. I know it's a serious event and people aren't going to put my pictures as a priority.

BUT when I'm standing a few feet from a car with my camera up to my eye, and someone steps right in front of me and doesn't move, it's frustrating. It takes all of 3 seconds to notice that I'm taking a picture, wait a second for me to push the button, and then once I say thank you, you can move back over. I'm not asking for much

I'll sort through my photos once again and see if I can find what pictures I haven't uploaded yet. I'm not sure how many there will be, some of them are duplicates, but I'll see what I can do
