Mercedes AMG at SEMA 2014

as some of you may know I am down at SEMA 2014 with our shop, and I've been snapping pictures of all the Mercedes I can find.

A few pictures (I especially love the huge diffuser on he C63).

God damn I guess over-done cars are the key for attracting people at Sema.

^ Dude, when I went last year it was like overload. It was hard to come by a simple, clean, and perfect car. EVERYTHING is stickered out with body parts that you could argue don't fit or some type of wrap you can inspect your teeth in.

Toxic, is it overrun by Chinese knock off booths again?

There is an entire colossal tent of them. Trying to sell poorly made carbon parts, ****ty exhausts and weird objects I have no idea how to describe.

The stuff on the main grounds is VERY overdone. Especially anything around the DUB displace.

Every E92 M3 I've seen here has a tacky rivet on widebody kit.

Yea, those god awful GT3RS / GT4RS kits... So lame and overdone. I don't understand the appeal of riveting in body panels.

Now if those were cut, extended, formed properly, and looked like a single body piece that'd be awesome.

Thanks very much for using my pictures, I'm honoured!

I found the Optima C63, it's got a weisstec blower on it!

You guys are absolutely correct, it seems the theme for this year is widebody kits and/or stance. More than half the cars fit these two descriptions, unfortunately none of the clean cars are getting much attention because of this.

Have you strolled by the Honda exhibit yet? I could hardly stop laughing when I saw this:

The Toyota one is just as bad.

I saw this Akrapovic, so excited I actually got to see it in person:

I absolutely love it. I tried to find someone to talk to about it, but I could not.

I'm on the fence about supercharging my car... Right now it's either that or buy a 2012 BMW M5 and put our 750hp tune on it.

M5 is a really nice car. The whole car feels so much better than a c or e63 while driving. But u absolutely need to mod the exhaust, lol.

Haven't seen it yet. What area is it in? I've only covered maybe 1/4 of SEMA.

I've only seen Ford, Chevvy, Toyota and Honda so far for official booths.

Thanks! I'll check it out tomorrow. I had to leave early today, I've came down with some sort of flu. Worst way to spend you time in Vegas is holdup up your hotel room...
