The second Kia concept built at West Coast Customs for the 2011 SEMA Show is the golf-themed Hole in One Soul, This was inspired by Michelle Wie, Kia's ambassador in the game of golf and one of the most recognizable young female athletes out there.

The golf star drives a Soul around Northern California as she attends her classes at the Stanford University, and this funky Soul's So Blue exterior paint scheme and five-spoke 20-inch wheels incorporate her original artwork, which can also be foun... [...]

Built for 2004-2008 models, the R70 kit is designed to make the Gallardo look like the LP560-4.[...]

Galpin Auto Sports is bringing the rain, the pain, and a whole lot of noise to the 2011 SEMA Auto Show. With a total of 12 new customized models, GAS is primed and ready for some aftermarket action in Las Vegas.

Leading the way is the 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake, the modded super muscle car that was treated to an extensive aerodynamic facelift and, more importantly, some performance tweaking that will blow the lid off of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

We’ll proceed the ceremonies and tell you about Galpin’s very own hand-made steel body panels that were fitted into the GT500 Super Snake, adding nine inches to the car’s width. To give the car a little old-school Super Snake touch, Galpin custom painted the exterior with a Black paint finish with Tungsten Grey racing stripes, giving that added touch of exclusivity that only a GT500 Super Snake can have. On top of all that, the one-off muscle car also received a new set of lightweight aluminum wheels with their own Super Snake center caps wrapped in Pirelli tires, as well as a set of electric exhaust cutouts.[...]

The most powerful Genesis Coupe right now is powered by a 3.8 liter V6 engine that delivers 306 HP, but things are about to change. Hyundai and Rhys Millen Racing have teamed up for their fourth year collaboration to introduce the new RM500. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe RM500 by Rhys Millen Racing uses Hyundai’s most powerful engine: the 5.0-liter Tau V8.

This monstrous engine has been combined with a custom RMR stainless exhaust with GReddy rear section muffler, titanium tips, oil cooler, and rear differential cooler. These carefully chosen accessories team up to squeeze out an impressive 450 HP from the powerful V8 engine. Now that’s the kind of output a sports coupe like this deserves.[...]

It was more or less expected that Honda would put a lot of emphasis on its not-so-well received 2012 Civic range at this year's edition of the SEMA aftermarket show in Las Vegas.

The Japanese brand brought along a total of seven modified Civic Si Coupes and sedans including a two-door model equipped with a limited-edition Honda Factory Performance (HFP) package and several concepts.

?The Honda Civic was instrumental in the first import-tuner movement in the U.S. during the ?80s,? said Bruce Smith, vice president of Service and Technical Operations for American Honda. ?The all-new Civic Si builds on that proud history by offering inspiring performance, improved fuel economy and a great platform for personalization.[...]

Mazda really hasn't managed to impress us at this year's SEMA Show. Adding a bigger engine to the Mazda2 is predictable and boring, and it's not like bolder graphics and blacked out wheels will impress anybody.

It's much the same case with this latest project that was brought to the convention, the Mazda2 3dCarbon Concept that's a bit more down to earth than the Turbo we just showed you.

The concept features a custom body kit with a new air dam, side skirts, a rear lower diffuser and a win... [...]

Have you heard of a great review for the Mazda3 MPS (or the Mazdaspeed3 as some folks call it)? We haven't either, as the idea behind it is sort of dated, but that doesn't mean the 2.3-liter MZR Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) turbo engine hasn't got some life to give in some other project.

Introducing the Mazda2 Turbo Concept that has been unveiled at the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Yes, you've guessed it, it's got the same 263 hp straight-four as its big brother and a racing chassis... [...]

Here’s a vehicle that may be sporting an orange and black combination, but has nothing to do with the spooky and wicked Halloween season. This is the Mazda MX-5 Super20, a vehicle whose name may sound a bit familiar due to Mazda’s entry into SEMA last year. The 2010 Super20 was created to celebrate the MX-5’s 20th anniversary, but this year, Mazda decided to bring a 2.0 version of that same vehicle with a killer paint job and a load of accessories.

The 2011 Mazda MX-5 Super20 features a Hyper Orange Mica exterior paint finish with black stripes to soften the bright blow. The paint job is topped off with a stationary, glossy black hardtop to replace the vehicle’s standard soft-top. The interior has also been modified and now features a color-matched roll bar and black leather seats with suede seat inserts and channel and orange contrast stitching.

The Super20 was also privy to a few performance modifications, such as a DPTune reflashed ECU, a Racing Beat 304-stainless steel header and exhaust, and Racing Beat hollow front and rear anti-roll bars. These features were joined by an ACT organic street clutch, MazdaSpeed coil overs and a shock tower brace, Power Slot slotted brake rotors, StopTech stainless steel brake lines and street performance brake pads, and SpeedSource front brake ducts. The MX-5 Super20 was finished with black 16-inch Enkei RPF1 twin-spoke racing wheels, Toyo Proxes RA-1 245/45ZR16 high-performance tires, and 20mm H&R Track+ bolt-on wheel spacers in the rear and 15mm Sparco wheel spacers in the front.[...]

Kia has chosen to bring six sports-themed vehicles to the 2011 SEMA Show, and this Basketball-themed Optima is probably the boldest of them all. It's called the Slam Dunk Blake Griffin Optima Hybrid and it was created by West Coast Customs.

"Our involvement in the world of sports has dramatically increased awareness and perception of the Kia brand, and together with some high-profile partners we have created a lineup of fun and eye-catching vehicles with unique backstories and plenty of ... [...]

You know when you look out your window and you see a Lamborghini Gallardo sitting ever so splendidly in your garage? Then out of sheer genius or lunacy, you decide that it’s not spectacular enough, so you go out and get it wrapped with Cam Shaft’s new ’Koi Camouflage’ Premium Wrapping.

The end result is this cow-looking Italian supercar that certainly deserves more than getting dressed up in a permanent Halloween costume. Make no mistake, Cam Shaft’s good at what they do; proof of that lies in one of their recent works, the Ferrari 458 Italia.. That being said, for all the things that they’ve done well, what they did with this Lamborghini Gallardo - it’s actually owned by Gemballa big boss Steffen Korbach, who ran it at last year’s Gumball 3000 - certainly falls by the way of acquired tastes.[...]
