Every year, SEMA brings together the most creative, boundary-pushing builds in the automotive world — and 2025 was on another level. For us at Fast Turn Fittings, this year was more than a showcase. It was proof of how far the community has pushed customization, engineering, and craftsmanship.
We came to Vegas with one purpose: highlight how the right hardware can elevate durability, style, and the small details that make a build unforgettable.
Across six incredible vehicles — each with its own story and its own personality — our titanium hardware became part of that storytelling. Here’s the full breakdown.
Anthony's Kuhl Racing Spec-D Nissan Z
@anthonydg_
This wasn't our first time work with Anthony on a project for SEMA. He built a MKIV Supra years ago that we got to be apart of. This year he reach out to us about his Z going to SEMA which was perfect timing as we had just released hardware kits for the 2023+ Nissan Z. He not only needed everything we had for the Z, he was also installing a Kuhl Racing widebody kit and needed our titanium hardware to mount it onto the car.
Here is the full hardware breakdown:
Every corner of this Z received a hardware upgrade that delivered both corrosion-proof durability and unmistakable show-quality style. Click here to watch our interview with Anthony.
Audi A5 Off-Road Build — Rugged, Purposeful, and Clean
@mlz_garage
This wild Audi off-road build was one of the most unique vehicles we featured at SEMA 2025. What was once a Audi A5 is now a off-road machine powered by an LS motor. Built for punishment, not pavement, this car highlighted why durable hardware matters when a vehicle is exposed to extreme environments.
The exterior of this car have exactly 100 of our purple titanium bolts and you can see them from every angle!
While the details of the build speak for themselves, our contribution supported the rugged theme: strong, weather-resistant titanium hardware that holds up where typical steel fails.
Datsun 240Z — V10 Viper Power Meets Classic Japanese Aesthetics
@bradbuilds
One of the most jaw-dropping builds we shot content with was this 240Z housing a V10 Viper engine swap. The crazy man behind this project was Brad, aka BradBuilds, who turned a Datsun shell into this in just 60 days. And while our hardware wasn’t used inside the engine, it absolutely made a difference where it mattered visually. Brad was using this car to unveil the latest widebody kit for the 240Z under his company Error404 Motorsports. Having worked with him on a previous project, which is the next car on the list, he wanted to use our hardware again for the widebody kit. Here is what we sent him:
This car blends old-school Japanese design with raw American power — and our titanium hardware brought a level of finish that held the whole body kit together without sacrificing strength or corrosion resistance.
2023 Toyota GR86 — K-Swap + Widebody = A Perfect Canvas
@error404motorsports
We technically saw this car unveiled the year before at SEMA, but that doesn't mean it didn't come back with some new changes. The biggest change of all is the color. Last year it had a yellow livery and this year it was looking a little more refined with its new white wrap and carbon fiber spoiler and window visor. After a year of being on the car our hardware still looked brand new!

This car showed how hardware can unify a high-contrast build: Japanese chassis, Honda heart, aggressive bodywork — and titanium hardware tying every detail together. Click here to watch our overview video.
Nissan R34 — Midnight Purple, RB28 Power, and Clean Titanium Finishes
@kxngjw
The R34 is iconic, and to our surprise there were quite a lot of them at SEMA this year, but this build stood out being the only Midnight Purple 3 we saw with a polished RB28 sitting pretty in the engine bay. You had to look a little closer on this project to notice our hardware as the owner chose colors that would blend in perfectly with the rest of the car.
The polished hardware against the RB28 setup created the kind of visual blend that photographers and fans kept coming back to. It’s proof that hardware doesn’t just function — it transforms a space when chosen intentionally.
Subaru GC8 — P25 Widebody with WRX Heart
@photo_md
The Subaru 22B is perhaps one of the greats cars Subaru ever built, but it is impossible to get your hands on one. So if you can't buy one, you make one and that is just what our friend Mikey did. This is his 1995 GC8 P25 with a 2002 WRX swap and 2005 STI drivetrain! Our contribution to this project was under the hood.
- Stage 1 GC8 Engine Bay Kit
- Additional Hardware Sizes
When it comes to swaps it can be hard to create a hardware kit out of the box so Mikey and his team took advantage of our hardware sizes we sell to create their own hardware to fill in the details in the bay to create clean looking engine swap. Click here to watch our interview with Mikey.
FAQ — Titanium Hardware & SEMA 2025
Why do builders use titanium hardware on SEMA builds?
Titanium is chosen for its corrosion resistance, light weight, and long-term durability — and because it elevates the visual finish of any build. At SEMA, where every detail is judged, titanium hardware brings both functional reliability and high-end style that stands out.
Is titanium hardware worth upgrading on my street or track car?
Yes. Titanium hardware offers long-term durability, won’t corrode like steel, and reduces weight. Even for street cars, this means cleaner engine bays, easier maintenance, and hardware that maintains its appearance over time.
What makes Fast Turn Fittings hardware different from other brands?
We design vehicle-specific kits that eliminate guesswork. No more mismatched bolts or measuring every fastener — our kits give you exact sizing, consistent finishes, and titanium that stays clean and strong for years.
Do I need an entire kit, or can I buy hardware by size?
You can do either. If we don’t have a full kit for your car, you can shop by size and build your own. Titanium hardware fits most automotive applications as long as you match thread pitch, diameter, and length.
SEMA 2025 reminded us why we do what we do. The builders, the creativity, the problem-solving, the passion — our hardware is only a small part of these incredible machines, but it matters. Every bolt tells a story, and we’re proud to be part of these builds that push the boundaries of style and durability.
