There’s a very good reason why the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas is considered the biggest trade event of its kind, not only in North America, but in the world.

Every year at the end of October, thousands of companies from automakers to tuners and parts providers make their way to the Las Vegas Convention Center to exhibit their production and conceptual goods, be that complete cars or aftermarket accessories and components of all sorts.

Unfortunately, SEMA is not open to the general public, but fear not, because aside from our regular coverage, we have also prepared a huge photo tribute to the 2012 show for your eyes to feast on.

Due to the sheer number of high-resolution images, we will pass them on to you in two installments over the weekend, so to lessen the burden on your electronic devices.

Enjoy the first part with 350 HD images right past the break.
