The Professional Restylers Organization's (PRO) PRO Cup Challenge is returning
to the 2023 SEMA Show, October 31-November 3 in Las Vegas, with six new automotive restyled builds that will push the limits of style and creativity.
Designed to spotlight the benefits of accessorizing new-model vehicles, the competition challenges automotive restylers to develop an accessory package that is both profitable and easy to replicate. The goal of the program is to attract a wide range of vehicle buyers to accessorize their vehicles, and show fellow restylers, dealers and accessory manufacturers the value of offering marketable packages. Six competitors will have their vehicle featured in PRO Cup Challenge Booth #50185 during the week of the SEMA Show and be entered to win one of two PRO Cup Challenge awards. This year's PRO Cup Challenge companies and vehicles are:
- Apex Customs: '24 Ford Mustang GT
- Auto Sunroof & Leather: '24 Subaru Crosstrek Sport
- RDMBUILDS: '23 Jeep Gladiator Willys
- Restylers Aftermarket Specialist: '23 GMC Sierra 1500
- Top Coverage LTD: '23 Ford F-150 Regular Cab
- VIP Distributing: '23 GMC Yukon Denali XL
Visit the PRO Cup Challenge Booth (West Hall, Booth #50185) to witness the transformative vehicle packages that were built by PRO member companies, walk away with ideas to accessorize your own car and vote for your favorite build to win the PRO Cup Challenge People's Choice Award.
Judges will determine the PRO Cup Challenge winning vehicle, a separate award, based on how easy the vehicle is to replicate and its estimated profit to automotive restyling companies and dealerships.
Industry members are invited to attend the winner announcement of both awards during PRO's Happy Hour on Wednesday, November 1, from 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. in the LVCC West Hall, Booth #50185.
