Cross-Section of Cool: Chasebays Scion FR-S

Like a 17-year-old boy goes straight to under-bra territory on a first date, I’m going straight to this car’s engine bay, and for a similar reason at that.

This Chasebays Scion FR-S engine compartment is so beautifully bare, I feel naughty just looking under the hood. Clearly, there’s more nudity under this bonnet than at a beach in the South of France, but how did they do it? How did Chasebays build a car that runs, yet make it look like it doesn’t?

Magic wiring harnesses. Well, maybe not magic wiring harnesses, but Chasebays specializes in custom wiring and tucking, and they’re so good at what they do, they deserve to be called magicians.

I had to show you the engine bay first because it is this car’s party piece — a party piece that represents the thinking behind the entire car, which you can admire in the Speedhunters photo gallery below.
