They're are several downsides to buying a set from the company. If you bend a wheel you have to order the replacement part from them. Might be better to buy another wheel after the shipping is added. The company offers more exotic vs. muscle car wheels. BonSpeed is geared more-so towards muscle with a one or two wheels that are suitable to the Fiero's style.

After seeing the carbon fiber treatment the normal looking Ferrari looks boring. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The triple tailpipe on that Lexus seems kinda gimmicky, though it looks pretty sweet.

Yes. However, if you do there's ten men shouting for her to stay put.

It was a very, very nice SEMA show. I talked to one of the fellow Fiero members, but I was near the load imports doing some unique drifts in the parking lot and didn't hear the call. The drift driver was Tanner Foust. The main car I notice for this year wasn't the Camero nor the 370Z, but a new comer. The Scion. Just about every car within the building was wrapped, especially the newer cars. Everywhere you walked somebody was demonstrating the "wrapping" process-some better than others. Also, most of the cars were "bagged."

Anyway, I was there on business so I got right down to it. As some may know, the product I used to use to clean and polish my HRE isn't sold any longer in CA, so I went looking.



Tested out the product on my key

I do miss the automotive aftermarket business about once a year and yes that’s in November. The SEMA show is simply the best.

Wrap continued: At SEMA there were several types of wrapping material being used. I must say that the carbon wrap was looking pretty good. As for others-not so much. I even saw sued wrap.



Clear wrap infused with nano-something?

Here's something I found interesting; Send them your steering wheel and they will tweak it any way you want.

I didn't waltz through the entire SEMA show but from what I saw the Scion was this year's car to tweak (sorry for the poor quality, but black is hard to capture on film).


This Scion was a carbon wrap. The designer didn't win, but it was nice IMHO.

If the car wasn't wrapped it was bagged.

I love this sweet two door Caddy.
