Featured vehicles can help buyers visualize how products enhance the styling and functionality of cars, trucks and SUVs, and they can drive more traffic to a booth, increase brand awareness and generate additional media coverage.

SEMA Show exhibitors can gain additional exposure and generate interest by displaying a vehicle adorned with their products in a featured location outside the Las Vegas Convention Center. Featured vehicles can help buyers visualize how products enhance the styling and functionality of cars, trucks and SUVs, and they can drive more traffic to a booth, increase brand awareness and generate additional media coverage.

All vehicles must adhere to the Feature Vehicle Program Rules and Regulations.

The application deadline is Friday, September 18, and applicants will be notified on or prior to October 9 regarding their status.
