Posting this in Other Vehicles since Honda was a minority at SEMA. The show was bigger this year, I'd say that it has recovered to where it was ~4 years ago before the industry went down hill.
I think there were mostly Mustangs there, followed by Camaros. I saw 1 EG hatch and one EK hatch and one Teg lol. Overall the Japanese imports seemed to be less than previous years, but maybe that's just because the rest of the show grew so much. Euros were pretty big, a lot of BMW's this year.

What was hot for SEMA 2010: Flushness everywhere, Satin paint/wraps, Concave wheels are just starting to become popular vs of huge lips with flat faces. Also satin finishes on wheels, as well as color matched wheels. There was a lot more turbo'd cars than in years past too. Domestics were definitely the majority of the show this year.

What was not: 'Rat rods' were scarce this year compared to previous years... or people are just finishing them now into Hot Rods, which there were plenty of. Huge Heavy Chrome Wheels are finally being replaced by more polished, machined or painted wheels, often in 2 or 3 piece instead of cast. (It's about time!) Japanese Imports were looking a little weak this year, drowned out by Mustangs & Camaros. The upper level of the South Hall, for 4x4 and offroad, was also not back up to the massive size it was before the industry began to hurt a few years ago.

Anyways, here's the link to the gallery of 1700+ pics:

one of many Camaros... THis one wasn't too wide or too low... just right









This Caddy was in PPG's booth









beautiful '63 vette


















Didn't get much light on this Mustang, but check out that engine bay










Forgive my blur... there was a ton of people around the mustang above and this vette

A decent grocery getter

 

That's awesome man, thanks for sharing. I can't even begin to wrap my brain around some of that stuff. Wow!

So far some of my favorite cars of Sema are; the classic white Benz with the modern touch, the RTR-X, and the blue Starlet.

 

Thanks for the pictures! I was browsing other pictures on a different site and couldn't help but think that the way some of the cars at SEMA were crafted shows that there's less ingenuity and creativity in these designs. Some cars are flat out tacky and horrendous, but others just make me melt, like the older Mustangs OP pointed out.

 

Thanks for posting pictures. I have been waiting for some one to do this. Seem like restomods are IN, and the show seem to be getting better and better.

 

i am simply at a loss of words.. the craftsmen-ship that goes into these cars is beyond anything i can fanthom .. that "hurrican" trailblazer looks like you can fit a 2 yearold in those lips and those e30s and tl typeSex are ****

 

Agreed. Lots of good and bad this year. But the turn-out seemed really good over all. I'd like to attend next year's or the year after's event. Q: Anybody know if SEMA is by invite only? I heard it was that way for a while. Wasn't sure if that was still the case.




Not trying to thread jack, but since it's all related...

Just wanted to share this link here. SpeedHunters did a little feature on the white Benz.

Thats a sweet ride. Lot of work went into that for sure. Something about the wheels I don't like but can't put my finger on it.

Omg, that last car in the first post is just a raw sexy car.

great coverage! i was there and couldn't remember seeing some of the cars you posted

 

good coverage, but SEMA cars always look stupid. especially that charger/challenger hunk :/

 

^^You sure? I saw some pretty seriously well done cars in that collection of photos.
Of course the newer domestics are always a joke at those events though.
