Two great customization shops released photos of matte red Range Rovers. Both Ultimate Auto and Platinum Motorsports started off with a blank canvas: a 2013 Range Rover. Both did follow the same style, although they both used different shades of red, they used a matte finish and left the top half of the vehicle black. The end result.... I'll let you guys decide. First up. From Orlando, Florida, we have Ultimate Auto and their cranberry red Range. This Range has been dipped in custom BASF Glasurit matte red paint with gloss red accents. The gloss black roof and accent trim break up the red and give it a nice two tone. And in this corner, from Los Angeles, California, we have Platinum Motorsports and their Rosso Corsa Range. This Range has been dipped in custom Rosso Corsa (Ferrari Red... or at least it looks like it) paint with gloss black accents. The gloss black roof and black accent trim break up the red and give it a nice two tone. Soooo.....

One thing I love to do is to show off great cars, so what better way to show off the best photos of my Instagram feed for May 29th 2014... well the automotive ones anyway. I doubt you want to see a bunch of fitness ones. In case you like what you see, I included the instagram handle of each account that I'm about to show off, and also, don't forget to follow me ( @CarShowBernie ) as well. First things first, if you are in the Dallas area or if you are willing to drive to Dallas, Dub Magazine Car Show ( @DubShowTour ) will be stopping in Dallas this Sunday. I'm very critical of car shows, however, this sounds like a promiscing show. Dallas is a great city to have a car show in, and one day, I will make it there. P.S. The Dub Show isn't coming to Houston, so if you live in Texas in general, you'se might want to throw some snacks in the car and head to Dallas. And how does K Michelle fit into performing at a car show? Before you say that Dallas is too far, Topo ( @wid...

Photo borrowed from Car and Driver In 2010, General Motors dismantled the whole Hummer brand. After the economy tanked, people changed how they spend money on automobiles. Finding Hummers on the road is few and far between, but that's not stopping people from getting them customized. Within the past week, two of Florida's most respected customization shops ( Ultimate Auto of Orlando and The Auto Firm of Miami ) released instagram photos of Hummers they've customized. First up, Ultimate Auto and the Hummer H1 that they worked on. An owner of this Hummer H1 came to Ultimate Auto to get his truck customized. He went to the right place because this H1 got the full UA treatment. Exterior customizations include Full Kevlar exterior, UA hand made bumpers, and roof rack, 40 inch Toyo Tires, JL Audio sound system, police lights for days, and my favorite comment... Enough Rigid lights to light up Yankee Stadium. (Side note: I love any comments that mention the New York Yankees) Now ...

Orlando's number one shop, Ultimate Auto , released photos of a gorgeous Mercedes Benz CLS 550 that they've customized. UA added a Meisterschaft valve-tronic exhaust system, 20 inch custom painted Vossen CV4 Wheels, custom painted gold calipers, Renntech lowering module, smoked lights, LLumar ceramic window tint and of course a custom JL Audio bass package in the truck. Keep scrolling to see more pictures... P.S. I do have a shop review coming soon for Ultimate Auto.

2013 is winding down and Christmas is around the corner but that's not slowing down the work that the customization shops are putting out. I was able to put together a post of my top 12 photos (in no specific order) of some of the great companies I follow on Instagram. And hopefully after this post, you can follow them (as well as me) too. West Coast Customs ( @WestCoastCustoms ) photographed this custom matte white and carbon fiber Range Rover Evoque. Trendsetters ( @Trendsetters214 ) along with Forgiato Wheels ( @forgiato ) Showed off this 2014 SRT8 Jeep Grand Cherokee sitting on Forgiato's Monoleggera Tratto-M series wheels in 24 inches. These seats look so comfy. Platinum Motorsports ( @platinum_group ) has teamed up with the Bentley Motor Corporation to present the Beverly Hills Platinum Series. Bentley definitely collaborated with the right customization shop. Exclusive Motoring ( @exclusivemotoring ) is finally showing off a BMW 550i customized with carbon fiber mirror c...

The 2013 SEMA Show happens to be the 50th anniversary of the year that SEMA was formed. And because it was an anniversary show, the vehicles that were a part of the show didn't fall short. There were a lot of vehicles and there were more vehicles showing up outside throughout the day (and probably throughout the week as well).    This year is my 4th year in a row attending it, and I had the exact same emotions that I had in 2010... EXCITEMENT!!! I'm like a child on Christmas Day when I go to SEMA. I get to go to a fabulous city, fabulous weather, I meet people from all over the world, and most importantly I get to photograph some seriously customized cars. I took a lot of photos yesterday, and I'm putting this post together sitting in the Continental Tire Media Center. Here's the photos that I chose to show off from yesterday- Day 1 of the 2013 SEMA Show. Matte black Jaguar XJL Supercharged. Beyond gorgeous... Platinum Motorsports strikes again!!! This time, they murder...
