IMHO, it just wouldn’t be quality coverage of any car event without the proper coverage of the models and babes of the show. The only thing more popular than a modified Nissan GT-R at the 2008 SEMA Show were all the properly modified racks
Due to the overwhelming interest in my monday’s post 2008 SEMA Show Girls Pictures I I have decided to post part II a little early to help you get through the week
The SEMA Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world and IS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. But don’t worry about that minor detail, I plan on taking more photos than I ever have at any event so far in 2008 so that you can see all that was showcased and ready for 2009.

I just figured if there was one, this is probably what it would look like. For curiosity's sake, I then went to the Toys "R" Us website, and lo-and-behold...

Here are some SEMA 2009 preview photos of the concept Dodge Challenger SRT-10 which is powered from the aluminum Dodge Viper 8.4L V10 packing 600hp and 560 ft-lbs of torque!
The most striking feature of the Urban Whip is what is doesn’t have - a roof. Although the original brief required the design to retain the structural integrity of the GLK, the aggressive look of the custom-made wide-body kit - which was developed in cooperation with RoBrady Design - made the roadster temptation difficult to resist.
This special tuned GT-R will be in the TOYO booth and feature aftermarket upgrades from tuning company Bulletproof automotive. If you didn’t know Bulletproof automotive is a United States distributor of Amuse aftermarket parts. One can easily image a GT-R with the full Amuse treatment, receiving a top of the line carbon fiber body kit and sit on some serious rubber from TOYO.
The hottest trend continuing to gain popularity in the who’s who of the after market and modified world is the “FLAT” look. Less importance is being placed on “the higher the gloss the better the paint job”, now everybody wants to see who can get the FLATTEST paint job!
There was absolutely no doubt in the mind of Professor Bodo Buschmann, President of Mercedes customization specialist BRABUS, “Even in the face of the extreme rework that characterizes the vehicles at SEMA, we were going to stick firmly to our principles and go for a more practicable solution

Subaru's Forester SUV all-wheel drive vehicles don't really look like SUVs and, I guess it really hurts company's sales around the world. Maybe that's why Subaru has taken an opportunity to show-off its new Forester Sports trim at the current SEMA show.

Leif Tufvesson is one of Sweden’s most skilled specialist car constructors, with many of his cars having received serious international acclaim. The hottest of them all right now is the new Caresto V8 Speedster, a mid-engined car with an ethanol powered Volvo V8 unit.
Here is something that the other sites are not reporting on from SEMA, a sparkling SL600 that will attract the Paris Hilton likes to just crash it a block away. This car is definitely a head turner especially when the sun rays start blinding you. It is a nice idea, but I don't believe those are actually some kind of diamonds or crystals, but maybe a special paint.
