Let’s be honest for a moment. If someone were to ask me where they should go to see the latest and greatest in Japanese tuning and car customization, I wouldn’t say SEMA. For that you’d be much better off skipping Vegas and heading to Makuhari Messe for Tokyo Auto Salon in January.

With that being said, SEMA still provides plenty of interesting stuff for fans of JDM style, and the show has become an increasingly popular place for Japanese builders and companies to show their stuff to a global audience.
