Default BOWLS Scion xB SEMA Project Vehicle



Been a lurker on the forum for awhile and thought this might interest some of you here on the boards...

We’ve been chosen as one of the builders for this years Scion xB Tuner Challenge. To find out more about the Tuner Challenge please visit this LINK for Scion’s official press release.

We are also documenting the entire build on video and have cut up a short trailer:

Here are a few shots of the progression:





















If you are in Vegas Nov 3-6, and have the proper credentials, come check out all the Tuner Challenge entries at Scion's SEMA booth.

More updates soon to come...

I think its sick. A tad shorter would have been nice but still man this is awesome. I don't understand why they don't come out with a truck model of the XB. 1st gen and 2nd gen would sell like crazy if they would make them. I know tons of people that ask and say they would buy one. Hell I'd buy one. Either way, looks great.
