Day 2 of 2015 SEMA Week Powered by Nissan is all about Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with Motor Trend and The J-Turn host, Jessi Lang.

Jessi walks the floor in search of the coolest OEM pieces, checking a new performance package for the Nissan GTR Nismo. Then she heads outside for a ride along that would make any car enthusiast jealous, shotgun in a Roush Mustang with Justin Pawlak at the wheel.
