The 2017 SEMA show was one of the largest ever and raised the bar for custom vehicles

Since its inception, exhibitors at the SEMA Show have brought customized cars and trucks into their booths to showcase their new products and demonstrate how their products appear when installed. Often it was race cars, in the early days typically drag cars, but today the range is as wide as the imagination, or at least the builder’s imagination. How about a bagged Audi R8 V10 that lays on the belly pan and features a pair of turbos capped by K&N filters? Here’s a quick looks at some of our favorites.
