2011 SEMA Vendor Highlights Part 1

 Las Vegas, NV (Py) - We started at the most-happening South Hall of SEMA this year.

Ford, as a strong tradition, has a large loft space on the show floor, demonstrating their newsest cars and ideas.  the cool paints and decals make the cars there super splashy!

 Rugged Ridge came out with a new product photographed here!

 Autolyst is a auto social network, something like a craigslist, but more for cars and such...

 iPad Kiosks is totally well situated here.  We think that every vendor should consider their products.

 First Enterprise is a very cool company.  They opened the rope for us to photograph their model and their motorcycle just for us.  Great marketing person!!

 Giovanna is a staple in SEMA at South Hall, the flashy Wheels and Tire section.  Their floor is big, with plushy carpet, and amazing cars!!

 Pirelli bucked the last year's trend of leather skin tight uniform, to a more conservative air stewardess style... Wait we should be talking about tires, right?  (see the Model article)

 Triangle tire company has some great specs, and their models are awesome as well!

Sailun definitely won the award of the most amazing models at the show, and their products are so awesomely displayed... Totally amazing work!!

 Nexen is very cool with all the great models, both the promotional models and the tire models.

 Mopar came out in full force!  Gorgeous display of their product lines.

 Lightforce is from Australia as light manufacturer.  They invited Lisa Kelly, the Ice Road Trucker as their promo celebrity.  Very cool!

 H&R promo model greeted us with a smile like the Spring breeze...

 Motovicity with Lea Anne as their wonderful ambassador showed us the booth and their products.

 Exedy did a brilliant booth design idea, which is to make the backdrop like a Japanese street scene.  It's a semi-immersive expereince.  Great job!

 Cool retro car with no rear wheels showing, showed us what awesomeness is...

Also, just announced this morning, from SEMA PR: " The vehicles have been tallied and the exhibitors have spoken.
