Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - November 2014 Wrap Up

This month has been one wild ride. Not only did we fly to Las Vegas for the 2014 SEMA Show, but we reported on loads of new products and steered The Hog Ring community’s attention to the best sales and promotions our industry has to offer. Of course, we unveiled the latest addition to our popular Design Studio too. Here’s a look back at November 2014.
