Ford's got quite the lineup planned for the 2010 Specialty Equipment Market Association show. In addition to a number of custom crossovers, Fiestas, and F-Series pickups, the automaker revealed it has allowed various aftermarket firms to craft nine 2011 Mustangs for the venue.
Ford Vehicle Personalization SEMA Mustang
 2011 Ford Mustang by Ford Vehicle PersonalizationFord's own accessories group was given a Mustang of its own to trick out. Apart from the custom white tri-coat paint, large wheels, and coral accents throughout both the interior and exterior, most of the parts, including the hood scoop, rear quarter louvers, and pedestal spoiler, are pulled straight from Ford's catalogs.

This is apparently a rapper's delight, as this Mustang was designed by Funkmaster Flex for none other than Snoop Dogg. The custom coupe looks quite a bit like a Shelby GT500, thanks to a white-on-blue paint job, 3dCarbon body kit, NC Forged three-piece billet wheels, and custom smoked taillamps.

MRT Ford Mustang SEMA Car

2011 Ford Mustang by MRT
Seeing as Scott Hoag, MRT's founder, has a long background in racing Mustangs, it's not too surprising to see that MRT's SEMA 'Stang receives some giddyup. The red-on-black 2011 Mustang GT, described by the firm as a "tough street warrior," receives a performance handling package, chassis reinforcements, upgraded brakes from Baer, and a custom, MRT-designed exhaust system.
Creations N Chrome Ford Mustang SEMA Car
 2011 Creations n' Chrome Mustang
Creations n' Chrome's Mustang is pink enough to make Barbie blush, but for a good cause. The tuning shop has apparently partnered with the American Cancer Society to raise awareness for breast cancer, and this retina-scorching Mustang GT will certainly catch people's attention. Apart from the wild color, the car receives vintage Shelby GT500-style driving lamps, Shelby-esque body and rocker stripes, a Vortech supercharger, large HRE aluminum wheels, and a Wilwood brake kit.
Mobsteel Ford Mustang SEMA Car
 2011 Ford Mustang by Mobsteel
Although many tuners opted to have their way with the new 2011 Mustang GT, Mobsteel chose to use a base 2011 Mustang V-6 as their canvas. Their slammed, black coupe looks utterly sinister, but a remote-mount turbo system and a Magnaflow exhaust system promise at least a slight power boost.
2011 Ford Mustang by Raceskinz
Hope you like composite materials. Raceskinz is primarily known for manufacturing a wide array of carbon fiber accessories, so it's not too surprising they've decked out their 2011 Mustang GT with all sorts of the woven composite. The company's added its custom front splitter, sport bucket seats, and rear seat delete kit, along with a ProCharger supercharger and intercooler.
Street Scene Ford Mustang SEMA Car
2011 Ford Mustang by Street Scene Equipment
This Mustang wears a number of accessories pulled right from Street Scene's catalog, including a new chin spoiler, grille insert, rear spoiler, and rear valance. Inside, the car receives Katzkin leather seating, along with a Polk audio system.
Tjin Edition Ford Mustang SEMA Car
2011 Ford Mustang by Tjin Edition
The work of independent designer Neil Tjin, this 2011 Mustang GT receives a custom paint color, along with a bespoke metal wing, Webasto sunroof, custom LED headlamps, and underbody neon lighting. The car is also treated to a full air suspension kit, coupled with anti-roll bars and trailing arms sourced from Eibach.
Muscle Mustangs And Fast Fords Ford Mustang SEMA Car
2011 Ford Mustang by Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords
Ford invited this long-standing buff book to build -- what else? -- one muscle-bound Mustang. The 5.0-liter V-8 is treated to a Ford Racing supercharger kit, along with custom headers and exhaust. MM&FF's car also apparently receives some wide rear slicks and an elongated spoiler -- perfect for helping the car hook up on the drag strip.

Ford's Super Duty trucks may be used primarily as work trucks, but that doesn't mean they can't play. The trio headed to SEMA are still plenty capable of getting work done, but they're also built for fun when the work's done. And since fun means different things to different people, these trucks range from cruisers to trailblazers.

2011 Ford Explorers

Ford unveiled its brand-new 2011 Explorer earlier this year and is hoping the serious redesign will help boost the SUV's sales. One way in which the company hopes to show the vehicle's potential is with three customized Explorers it will show at SEMA.
Funkmaster Flex 2011 Ford Explorer
 "It's so new and reinvented, and the styling is standout from the inside out," Craig Patterson, marketing manager for the new Explorer, said. "Explorer is the perfect choice for people to accessorize. Those who want to customize it are starting from a great base that is extremely well received, and that's where the attraction lies."
Ford is certainly pulling out the stops to give people ideas on how to accessorize the new Explorer as no less than three different SUVs will be on Ford's SEMA stand. One of those Explorers, with its 24-inch, three-piece, billet aluminum wheels and blacked-out lower trim, is designed to appeal to the urban crowd. The SUV is done by Ford's partner in crime Funkmaster Flex along with Team Baurtwell. The interior has also been modified with a Katzkin two-tone leather interior and high-end sound system.
CGS Performance Parts 2011 Ford Explorer
The second Explorer to be shown at SEMA is done by Galpin Auto Sports and takes the Explorer's luxury to a new level "that even James Bond would enjoy." It's no surprise that Ford mentions James Bond as that was GAS's inspiration in creating the car. The Explorer is done in a custom silver exterior color with custom lights and 24-inch wheels. Special care was also taken in the interior with a suede and leather headliner and matching seats. An iPad has also been added as rear-seat entertainment.

2011 Fiat 500 GT

2011 Fiat 500 GT

Fiat and Chrysler may be one big happy family now, but the merger is bound to produce some overlap. If all of it is as cool as the 500 GT Concept by Mopar Underground that turned up at the SEMA Show today, we're all for it. Realizing that enthusiastic 500 buyers are likely going to want ways to customize their little cars, Mopar went ahead and came up with some ideas you may see at the dealer in the future.
Though Mopar is known for some serious performance, they restrained themselves a bit on the 500 GT. The 1.4-liter MultiAir engine and five-speed manual transmission are apparently untouched, though Mopar did fix up a custom dual-exit exhaust. And while they did come up a lot of parts of their own, Mopar also borrowed a set of lowering springs from Abarth to give the car a mean stance on its Mopar Underground-designed 18-inch Alcoa forged aluminum wheels.
With the handling handled, attention was turned to appearances. After fitting a new front spoiler, the Mopar guys quietly ditched the stock turn signals and used their mounting holes for brake cooling ducts. Then they pulled out the fenders, fitted a rear spoiler a diffuser and painted the whole thing "Dark Thunderbolt" grey with red accents. Inside, they fitted piano-black trim, a slick-looking shifter and custom Katzkin seats, red for the driver and black for everyone else.

It appears Stasis' tuned Audi R8 won't be the only European supercar to grace the Specialty Equipment Market Association show. Oakley Design, a firm noted mainly for tuning Porsches, revealed today it plans on bringing a customized Ferrari 458 Italia to next week's trade show.
Although Oakley has previously been tied to various Porsche projects, the company recently expanded its offerings to the new 458. In stock form, the Italia's 4.5-liter V-8 cranks out an impressive 570 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque, but Oakley's team believed they could improve upon Maranello's design. With a new intake system and a remapped engine computer, Oakley claims it was able to coax another 48 ponies and 20 pound-feet from the engine, bringing output to 618 horsepower and 418 pound-feet.
According to the tuner, the extra power helps thrust the 458 from 0-60 mph in a scant 3.0 seconds -- four-tenths of a second quicker than a stock Italia -- and to a top speed above the 205 mph mark. To help the driver retain control of the car at such speeds, Oakley's custom front and rear spoilers create an extra 99 and 55 pounds of downforce, respectively.

To help set apart its 458 from stock cars, Oakley scrapped the standard five-spoke wheel in favor of giant HRE forged rims, which are both lighter and wider than the original hardware. Additionally, Oakley's blacked out portions of the A-pillar, roof, and decklid, allowing the 458's curved roofline to resemble a fighter jet's bubble canopy.
Oakley plans on building five 458s itself, one of which will be at SEMA next week. For those who already own a 458 but desire some of Oakley's touches, fear not -- the tuning shop insists it will offer these performance and cosmetic upgrades a la carte.

2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black and Tan

 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black and Tan

Like its "sister car," the Grand Cherokee, the Durango is all new for 2011 and leaps and bounds ahead of the old model. The design inside and out is greatly improved, as is the materials quality. This particular vehicle is the top-shelf Citadel trim level and it's been dressed up a bit for SEMA. Called the "Black and Tan" edition, it features some small cosmetic upgrades including special exhaust tips, wheels and grille inserts and a lowered stance. The "Black and Tan" name derives from the interior, which the Mopar Underground team refinished in black and tan Nappa leather.
Aside from these upgrades, you're looking at an essentially stock 2011 Durango. The new styling is similar in shape to the Grand Cherokee but distinctly Dodge and wears its crosshair grille well. It's a similar story with the new interior, but it is again suitably differentiated, and does offer third-row seating that folds flat easily to give quite a bit of cargo space. Overall, it feels well thought out and well put together, and should be more formidable against the competition.
Mechanically, the Durango's very similar to the Grand Cherokee, and like the Jeep, it gets a carryover 5.7-liter V-8 with 360 horsepower. Like virtually every other Chrysler product, it also gets the new Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 rated at 290 horsepower. That feeds a five-speed automatic soon to be replaced by a new eight-speed that should be a considerable improvement. A Dodge engineer also told Motor Trend that the new Durango will have "class-leading" towing capacity at 6200 pounds, even with the V-6 thanks to chassis improvements.
