Intense Audio & Performance at SEMA 2024: A Tradition of Excellence Continues

A Look Back at Our SEMA Journey

Our journey with SEMA began in 2017, debuting two iconic vehicles—each restored with custom work, from interior to audio systems:

1979 Bandit Trans Am

This fully restored Trans Am was a showstopper, featuring:

• RideTech Air Ride Suspension with a 4-link setup
• LS2 6.0 engine paired with a T56 transmission
• Texas Speed Heads & Cam
• Stainless Works Exhaust
• Custom interior by Intense Audio & Performance and Eli’s Easy Trim
• Audio System by Alphard Sounds, powered by a Sony GS9 head unit with a Focal DSP
• VIPModular Custom Wheels on Nitto Tires
• Compustar Remote Security System
• Dakota Digital Gauges
• CVF Racing Serpentine Kit
• Fuel System by Holley and gas tank by Tanks Inc.

The paintwork—brought to life by Charles & Amber Degand of CD Designs in Tuttle, OK—gave the Trans Am a jaw-dropping finish. This project truly encapsulated the heart of automotive performance, precision, and art.

1968 Camaro

Presented alongside the Trans Am, this classic Camaro shined just as bright with its powerful performance upgrades and flawless build.

In 2018, we shifted gears to two-wheeled excellence, presenting a custom Harley Davidson motorcycle that turned heads:

2009 Harley Davidson Road King, Red

This full build featured:

• Motor build by VeeTwin Performance
• Engraving by Distinct Customs
• Air-ride Suspension by Arnott Industries
• Custom Wheels, fork tube covers, and bag latches by Primo’s Machine
• Bars by Carlini Designs
• Diamond Audio Sound System
• Headlights and LEDs from Heise Lighting
• Custom Crash Bars by Intense Audio & Performance
• Eli’s Easy Trim Custom Seat

The paint job, once again by Charles & Amber Degand of CD Designs, added the perfect finishing touch to the Road King’s sleek design.

In 2019, we returned to SEMA with another masterpiece on two wheels:

2012 Harley Davidson Street Glide, Purple

This head-turner was packed with standout features:

• Motor build by VeeTwin Performance
• Air-ride Suspension with a neck chop
• 30” front rim and 18” rear wheel from Glenndyne Designs OKC
• Diamond Audio 3HXM 800 4-channel system with 3 sets of MS 8 Pro speakers, MS 6.5″, and 4 MS Pro 1 ST tweeters
• Pioneer Electronics 80 PRS Radio paired with an Excess Lithium Battery
• Arlen Ness components, including grips, mirrors, rocker boxes, and multiple covers
• Custom Crash Bars by Intense Audio & Performance
• Eli’s Easy Trim Custom Seat

Shinko Tires provided traction, while Speed by Design Lids added style and functionality. As always, Charles & Amber Degand of CD Designs delivered an exceptional paint job, perfectly complementing this Street Glide’s sleek aesthetics.

The Challenges of 2020 and Beyond

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of SEMA in 2020, preventing us from showcasing our latest work. But like many in the industry, we used this downtime to innovate and improve, ensuring we would come back stronger.
