AAM GROUP AND PERFORMANCE CORNER BRING TOGETHER AFTERMARKET PARTNERS TO BENEFIT NAVY SEAL FOUNDATION

“NSF1” Show Jeep To Be Presented to Navy SEAL Foundation at 2016 AAM Membership Meeting

October 7, 2015 (JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.) — The AAM Group, the largest program distribution group in the SEMA marketplace, is proud to announce NSF1: a fully customized 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited being built to benefit the Navy SEAL Foundation. NSF1 is intended to represent the spirit of the Naval Special Warfare community and features the best products from leading manufacturers within the SEMA accessory aftermarket.

AAM secured commitments from more than two dozen manufacturing partners to purchase the Jeep and outfit it with the latest aftermarket products; the donated accessories showcase the full power of AAM’s Jeep aftermarket lineup. AAM’s Special Markets Manager Greg Griffith oversaw the project’s concept, design and implementation with additional installation help from RPM Offroad (Edelbrock supercharger), Atomic City 4×4 (ring and pinion gears and chromoly axles) and Autopro of Nashville (custom Katzkin leather seat covers and a KICKER audio upgrade).

Now in its 15th year, the Navy SEAL Foundation maintains programs that help Naval Special Warfare warriors and their families cope with the rigors, stress and sacrifice associated with military deployment to some of the world’s most dangerous places. After completing a national circuit of appearances, NSF1 will be handed over to the nonprofit during a special ceremony at AAM’s 2016 Membership Meeting. The foundation plans to use the vehicle at its various recruitment drives, publicity events and outreach engagements.
