Was my 16th SEMA, the show has changed over the years. The oldest SEMA I have online was 2008, but here's the link from 2009, Lexus showed the LF-A at this SEMA, also you may notice in a couple pics half of the convention center was empty, this was a post-recession year and half the vendors couldn't afford to come to the show. BMW only started having a booth 4 years ago.
