The WD-40 SEMA Cares Camaro features Pedders supension, Katzkin interior and Eclipse A/V system. It will debut at the 2009 SEMA Show and later be auctioned for charity at Barrett-Jackson.

The WD-40 SEMA Cares Camaro now features a powerful, high-performance entertainment system, thanks to Eclipse, which uses WD-40 as a lubricant and corrosion inhibitor to maintain its industrial equipment.

With two sets of 6.5-inch Point Source component speakers, a digital subwoofer, 4-channel amplifier and two 7-inch widescreen, high-resolution video monitors from Eclipse, the listening experience inside the vehicle will be more vivid and lifelike, and the viewing experience will match the power and performance of the Camaro.

Additionally, the vehicle now features a comfortable, custom leather interior and logo embroidery by Katzkin, who designed a custom solution for the WD-40 SEMA Cares Camaro that matched the street racer exterior.

The WD-40 SEMA Cares Camaro also has a new look and improved handling with its new SportsRyder Extreme Adjustable Coilover system from Pedders USA.

Pedders inserted a high-density urethane replacement into the OEM hydraulic bushing to restrict movement of the radius arms under steering, braking and acceleration. Once the black struts were removed, the Pedders red coilovers were installed.

With the rear strut assembly burst apart, a hole was drilled for the cable adjuster to pass through, then the vehicle was aligned with a more aggressive stance.

The WD-40 SEMA Cares Camaro, a modern version of the classic American pony car, will be unveiled at the 2009 SEMA Show and later auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Show and Auction in January to benefit Childhelp and the Victory Junction Gang Camp children's charities.

SEMA’s Government Affairs Office has compiled a comprehensive guide on how motor-vehicle parts are regulated by the federal government: www.sema.org/federal-regulation-aftermarket-parts. It is a must-read document for every SEMA member.

The guide is generally presented in a question/answer format, with links to online resources for more information. Topics include an overview of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, emissions standards (EPA and California), and special sections on lighting equipment, wheels and tires, and fuel economy.

The guide also answers questions such as: Is my company required to register with the NHTSA? What are my obligations as an importer? What is self-certification?

To learn more about the SEMA government affairs efforts and how your company can stay current with federal and state laws and regulations, contact Stuart Gosswein at stuartg@sema.org.

Beginning January 1, 2010, the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) will include light- and medium-duty, on-road diesel vehicles in its smog-check program. Under the program, manufacturers of performance and specialty aftermarket parts for diesel applications will need to meet certain requirements. Specifically, the test will include a visual inspection for uncertified/non-OEM parts, an OBDII readiness check and a snap-idle tail-pipe test for particulate matter (PM).

BAR has developed a list of non-OEM replacement parts that will be identified during the visual portion of the smog-check process. Any such parts not qualified as a replacement part (and thereby exempt from certification) will require compliance coverage with a CARB Executive Order (E.O.). Identification of any uncertified parts will cause a vehicle to fail the visual portion of the test. A similar program is being proposed in the state of Nevada.
