SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) of the automobile aftermarket industry was held on November 1 to 4, 2016.
Another year has come with SEMA hosting one of the largest conventions of any type (next to Consumer Electronic Show) to be held in at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Nevada.

For the second year in a row, SEMA Ignited was located across the street immediately after the SEMA “roll-out” Cruise/Parade. This gave your average fan the opportunity to see some of these amazing SEMA car builds up close and personal versus a documentary to watch on TV. If you’re a car enthusiast but not a member of the auto industry to attend SEMA, we encourage you to experience SEMA Ignited which happens on the last day (Friday) after SEMA where most of the cars at the convention display their cars like a car meet/gathering for the public to see.
We look forward to attending next year’s event to discover the latest and greatest in the automotive aftermarket culture, and we hope we can share those experiences with you as always.
