SEMA: 2010 Discussion Thread

hey guys thought id start a thread since i already a few pictures, im here in Vegas for 8 days, because my Grape Jelly TL and a few others on my team are feature cars for SEMA thanks to 3T Motorsport. This will really be my timeline of what i see on a day to day basis.


here we are Saturday @ 5:30pm about to leave for VEGAS




half way point Baker CA @around 8:00pm


VIP parking at this hotel we stayed at, Valet let us park right in front of the main entrance, only problem is we got like 2 hours of sleep than we had to head out to meet up the rest of the 3T cars @ 4am for Feature car roll in.


Some sweet ass parking we got!!!!





Josh's car


Random stuff is saw on the way to getting our passes



Awsome motel pool i saw while eating at this thai place off the strip, looks hella Old school, dirty, hiv infected vegas motel.


thats it for right now, gonna be no SEMA coverage for Monday as we already rolled in and it doesn't officially start until Tuesday.

Appreciate the pics. However, I'm not impressed with the massive distortion from the SWA lens. The warping of vehicle shapes and form is incredibly distracting.

im not feeling that 370 either, but i think the point is to draw as much attention to your product/booth anyway.

Seems lots of cars have wheels a size or two larger than what would be optimum.

There are some nice cars in those pics, but there are also some HORRIBLY ugly wheels .

I never thought you could make a 458 Italia or a Gallardo look ghetto, but someone managed to pull it off ...

werd..these should be combined into one, or there should be an UNofficial sema thread.
