 We are here with TJ Hunt. TJ, always a pleasure hanging out. Thank you, thank you. Standing behind us is your new Supra. Yep. You unveiled this yesterday. Yep. It's perfect. It's flawless. Thank you. People went bonkers over it. Thank you. I know it's a tough question, but what are your favorite things about this car? You know, the favorite thing about this car so far is the fact that we got to reveal the Street Hunter to the world for the first time. I'm humbled and honored to be able to work with the team. I was able to get this done in time. Yeah. By the time this thing got printed from through your printer, we had the kit painted on, mounted in 10 days. So the fact that we were able to have this be our first release, our first showing to the world, the favorite thing is that it's epic. It's everything I wanted to be and I think it represents what we have coming forth in the future. That's awesome. And I know you've been coming to SEMA for a few years. So being here, having cars here, what does SEMA mean to you? SEMA to me, it's kind of like the World Series. Yeah. It's where every brand in the industry is here to flex. They're here to show their best thing of the year that SEMA represents, or they're here to say, hey, here's a teaser of what we're going to do next year. And everyone's right next to each other. So every company is either here to put up or shut up. And there's no full people here. So it's very visceral. It's very in your face. And I just love it. It's like the World Series here. That's awesome. So CJ actually has three cars here, one being the BRZ, which we've been working with you all year. And you've seen that. And that's out of their truck with Joseph right, your Ferrari, which is another unveiling. Yes. So let's go take a look at that real quick. Let's go. So three cars in SEMA. Yeah. BRZ, which you've seen. Yep. Two unveilings. The Supra and the Ferrari. Yes. Now, you were hiding a lot about this when you were building it, the kit, the color, especially the color. You talked to us a little bit about that. Yeah. So the color was the one of the hardest choices about this car. I really wanted to find a color that was unique. You know, every Ferrari these days is white, red, or black. So I wanted to get a color that you just don't really see. And I feel like this shade of green is slept on a lot. So the inspiration was British Racing Green. But we actually, this is our own color. We used a couple of different aspects to create this exact color. And it's red. It's like just darkened up in the shade. But when you hit it in that sunlight, it actually brightens up before like a turquoisey color. And the response in the internet has been like through the roof. So I feel like we had a home ride. And I feel a bit about it. And yeah, I'm excited to have a unique color out there that things can get a lot popular in the next couple of years. Well, man, obviously it requires beautiful colors. It's beautiful. We love it. Thank you. Great job on it. Thank you. And thank you for the time. Absolutely. So here we are at our truck. We've got one, two, three, four, five different cars in our truck. I'm here with Jack. Jack Off-Motive. Jack, thanks so much for being here. This is his beautiful Audi R8. Now the first thing when I notice it is delivery. Yeah. It feels like there's a story behind it. So you guys know me as the Forza guy. And what's cool is that I went into the game myself. And I basically designed it all in the livery editor and all that. And I basically found some wrap and I cut it out and I fight it all myself. And I basically turned that render that I had in Forza into reality all spread out on the car. So this car has been seen on screens now. It's real. Exactly, exactly. It's here. And then another thing that you notice in reality is just the beautiful red paint. It's so hard to capture that on camera. And that's something that's unique about most R8s are silver and white and stuff. And I really wanted that true exotic kind of really bright red flashy car that just makes me like it just makes me so happy to see it every time. Well, being in person, you did an incredible job. Thank you. You nailed it. This is your second year of Seema, right? Yes, indeed. Okay. And the first year with the car here. Yep. We want to thank you so much for being a part of the... Yeah. It's an honor to be here with this. So what does Seema mean to you? Especially your young guy, right? Yeah. What does Seema mean to you? I mean Seema compared to all the other shows is a place where you can basically take your personality and put it out on a car and share it with others. In other shows, they'll be like auto shows. They'll have stock cars or they won't have anything that has very much interesting value to it. But with Seema, it's either a team or a person. They all have completely different modifications. And it's all just kind of art pieces that are all spread out, all differently designed. And you can basically tell what kind of personality that person has based on the car. And I think that's really cool to have a show that displays all of that. Perfectly said, man. Well, again, we just want to appreciate you having this beautiful R8 and making for your time. Yeah, thank you. So I'm here with Victor Marni-Grad. What's going on, man? So good to meet you. You're the builder of this process. Correct. So yeah, I'm the painter slash builder obviously with my team. Yeah. What are some aspects of this thing? Because it looks incredible. One of them is going to be the leather woven seats that Maureen Chao took this up with. That's definitely a one-off, one-type deal. You don't see that very often. It was especially custom made for us. So it's definitely one of the things that I like to highlight on this build. You don't see that a lot. It is very cool looking for sure. Awesome. And another one for sure I'm going to have to go with is the 5.0 Toyota motor under the hood. That's so cool. I mean, when you drive this thing, this thing hauls. It takes off. So I drove up here and you know what? It was a great experience driving her. So yeah, it's definitely another one of the things that I wanted to highlight on this build. That's cool. So for you as a builder, as a painter, you kind of do it all. I'm curious, what does SEMA mean to you? Maybe as a builder or just personal? So yeah, no. SEMA, definitely I go back with SEMA. You know, I started attending SEMA in 2004. And so this is definitely something that's just became a tradition for me now that I have to attend it every year. And what better way than attend it with cool builds that you were, you took part of with your team, you know, making sure we're out here representing what we do, what is our passion. You know, it's everyone at the shop definitely is very passionate about what we do. And I hope it just reflects on our work. It definitely does. So really appreciate you taking the time. Yeah, no problem, man. So good to meet you, man. Likewise. You guys into the show. This is Lance Uchida. Lance, thank you so much for having a car in the booth. This thing's insane. Right off the gate, the front end. It just looks mean. Can you tell me a little bit about it? It's a little bit different. So I added a splitter on the front end to create some downforce. I do plan on tracking this vehicle after SEMA, of course, so I don't ruin too much of the paint on the vehicle. Because the paint is beautiful. Thank you. Obviously that deep black that you love, the wires. Absolutely. So Lance, you've been coming to SEMA for years. You've had cars here. Obviously you have a car with us. Uh-huh. What does SEMA mean to you? SEMA is something that I look forward to at the end of the year. The best part about it is I get to meet new vendors. I get to see new products for the year. And I get to see how people reflect their passion through their vehicles. That's awesome. Yeah. Again, I appreciate you having the car in the booth. Of course. Thank you. I'm with World Famous Automotive Designer, John Sabal. John, thanks so much for taking the time. Thank you. Not only is he one of the greatest, he might be the nicest guy here at SEMA. So I'm just, I'm going to put that out there. That's a good job. That's true. Okay, thank you. I'll take it. So you don't have a personal car here, but you have how many cars in the show that you've designed for? So this year we got to design, I think around 16 cars this year. They're kind of like all over the place. So you've had a pretty busy year. Busy year. You know, it's good because you got bills to pay so. Thank you, McGuire. And how many years have you been coming to SEMA? Whether it's been because you've designed here or just personally? Right. So my earlier days of SEMA is around like 94, 95, 96. I don't really get to go consistently every year, but since 2012, I think it's been pretty consistent up to now. Okay. So it's 23, 24 years since the very beginning. So it's a good amount of time to see this show evolve. So what I want to ask you is, what does SEMA mean to you? SEMA to me, when I think of SEMA, what pops up in my head is a place where a lot of creative people, whether you're a builder, designer, artist, are able to express themselves and be able to showcase their creativity through the hearts. Whether it be from a wheel design to a full barricade that you know, a one-off or even just simple livery graphics that they want to just reflect their brand. And I appreciate SEMA for putting something together that we can all be at and have such a wide range of variety of cards available just to see from each call it's all different. Yeah, I love SEMA. Well done. I appreciate you taking the time. One of the best. Thank you guys. Appreciate it. I'm here with Peter Fitzpatrick. Peter, you've kind of been a part of McGuire's family because you've been on Bruce, McGuire's Australia for quite some time. Yeah, I've known Bruce since I started in Australia for almost 30 years now. Wow. McGuire's been a big part of my car culture in Australia. And yeah, other people have tried to elevate what McGuire's is but you'll have to be used to know what McGuire's is. And to me, it's still the best product you can find. Now, standing behind us, in front of this car for a reason, this is a car you built, 35 Chevy. What's one aspect of this car that's really stuck out to you? Well, the first thing is it was built right-hand drive in 1935 and I believe it's one of 17 built. And being the three-winder suicide dog poop is very rare. They only made like 3,000 of them and this is one of 16. So because it's right-hand drive, everyone says why right-hand drive? It was built right-hand drive and C6 called that transactile running gear up. So it goes? Yeah, it goes quite well. And you've been coming to SEMA for a couple of years so we kind of want to know what does SEMA mean to you? Well, SEMA is probably the pinnacle of the aftermarket industry anywhere in the world and to come to SEMA is an honor to have been in the Battle of the Builders, which was great and even being recognized by the Chevrolet design team came over to the car, which was amazing. So I had the head engineer from design from Chevrolet and the car was amazing. That's pretty awesome. Well, Peter, I appreciate you taking the time. Thanks so much. So we've been filming cars, showing cars and now we're here with Christy, who does that for living and killed it. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Of course, thank you. Not only do you film cars, but this is your car. This is a beautiful machine. It is. So tell us a little bit about it. 2005 Super Legacy GT Wagon Limited that I used to film out of the back of that now is a full blown race car show car inside and out. Favorite aspect? Favorite aspect of the car is not one in particular one, but if I were to sum up my favorite part about the car is that so many cool companies came together to make it happen from Area 1320 building the motor to DID building the entire interior at Alcantara to serious innovations doing the trunk set up for circling with the headlights. So many people came together to make this one thing happen for me to have it here at SEMA. And that's my favorite thing overall. So many people helping myself to have this. It's just crazy. It's crazy. Have you ever had a car SEMA? Never had a car at SEMA. I've been to SEMA a few years, but I've never had my own car here and to have my own car here is again just mind blowing and it's just it's a whole new experience. It's opened up my eyes to what SEMA is really here for. And that leads me to the next question we've been asking people, what does SEMA mean to you? Realistically, it's just it's another realm to get not only myself and my brand out there, but at the same time to meet more companies. I've been able to now meet like Toyota tires. I've been able to meet all these people I've been working with in person chat with them, meeting everyone from Garrett, shaking hands, kissing babies, all that good stuff just seeing them in person and then they get to come and see the car now because normally cars in New York, those sponsors are all over at SEMA, they're all here together. So they all get to see the car and appreciate what I get to appreciate every day now. We appreciate you taking time to talk with us, step in front of the camera for a little bit. So as promised, we showed you the booth, we showed you the truck, all the cars that we have going on, we interviewed their owners, their designers, their builders. It's been an incredible SEMA 2019. We have one last question. What does SEMA mean to you?
