I may get hated for this, but nothing caught my eye other than maybe a couple of the exotics. Total waste of money put into 95% of those cars. Not a single Camaro looked good. All the CTS-V's looked like crap. Only one Moosetang looked somewhat ok and that was the Super Snake. Best paint goes to the Green Chrome Camaro.

I agree with most of this. SEMA seems to attract alot of nasty body kits, stupid wheels, flamboyant lights, and hideous paint. My favorite cars are the ones without all this crap and have tasteful mods to the drivetrain/suspension.....and a nice set of wheels to top it off. An untouched body and interior is always nice.
Some of the Camaro's and Mustang's pictured aren't bad.

I liked about half the cars the other half are a little too overdone and tacky.

It's HORRIBLE! I'm sure the engineers at Ferrari had no idea what they where doing when designing the active aero on the 458's front end.

The thing to keep in mind about most SEMA cars is that they are built to be rolling billboards, not street cars. They are meant to grab your attention as you are walking down the aisles and draw you into a booth. That means they have to be pretty outrageous to stand out in that place. Most are waaaaay over done but there are a lot of great ideas in those cars that can be picked out and used later to make your car stand out on the street.

The dash kit from Scosche is very cool. We spent about 30 minutes talking to them and playing with it. It is fully touch screen and can be set up to work pretty much any way you want it to. They are releasing them for many models.

Any niggles on the kit? I'm considering getting one.

I have no idea what "niggles" are, but electronics are not my thing.
