LAS VEGAS, NV It’s not an easy task.

Twenty-five judges are asked to find the “next greatest thing” in 16 different automotive categories. Essentially, they must sort through a field of several thousand new products from roughly 3,000 manufacturers, and pare it down to just 16.

The new product award-winners are announced at a breakfast ceremony which kicks off the SEMA Show each year.

This year’s winners prove once again that innovation is alive and well in the aftermarket industry.

Below are SEMA’s choices for best new products — all worthy winners.

We’re going to do some investigating of our own over the next few days to find even more new parts and accessories that you should be looking for. Stay tuned.
