PASMAG Editors’ Top 5 SEMA Builds of 2025

SEMA doesn’t just roll into Vegas — it takes over.

From November 4–7, 2025, the Las Vegas Convention Center transformed into the epicenter of automotive imagination, innovation, and “how did they even build that?” energy. Every hall was packed, every aisle buzzing, and every corner revealed something wild, weird, or genuinely groundbreaking.

This year, the PASMAG Editorial Team — Harjaan Sivia, Jamie Lake, Kevin Darwish, Luke Skalisius, and Mikey Dang — walked the show with scorecards in hand and very different tastes. From high-dollar hero cars to clever DIY ingenuity, each editor picked the five builds that hit hardest.

The result?

25 standout builds, selected by people who live and breathe this culture.

No algorithms. No popularity contests. Just passion, perspective, and the cars that stopped our editors in their tracks.

Let’s get into the PASMAG Editors’ Top 5 SEMA Builds of 2025.
