While CES is and should be known for its unabashed display of geekery, it has also become a venue to display some top-notch custom automobiles. Take for instance the Ford Flex (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ces-2009-the-cars-of-ces-part-ii/1291185/) at Sony's XPlod display. Sony says it wears an "urban-themed custom pain job" on the outside and long list of the company's XPlod audio products (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/08/ces-2009-sony-xplods-with-new-automotive-units/) on the inside. The urban decor impressively even extends to the doors' kickplates and interior frames. Now that's attention to detail.
A couple of booths over (which in CES speak means several thousand yards away), Monster skipped the fancy paint and just went for the fancy cars. Their super-blue Bentley GT looked almost stock until closer inspection revealed Monster's logos imprinted on the roof (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ces-2009-the-cars-of-ces-part-ii/1291200/) and the Bentley trunk badge replaced with (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ces-2009-the-cars-of-ces-part-ii/1291199/) the Monster's corporate red M. Monster's booth was also home to a Lambo Murcielago whose exterior was mercifully left unscathed by such blatant branding.
Other cars of note were Toyota's Ducati Tacoma (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/04/sema-2008-toyotas-truck-trio-is-3x-cooler-than-modded-venzas/) from SEMA and a really bad-ass, turbocharged, LSX-powered Cadillac wearing some sweet leather seats and a Strut S grille and wheels. Check out the gallery (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ces-2009-the-cars-of-ces-part-ii/) for high-res photos of the second round of the cars of CES.
