Official: FR-S with Targa-style top leads Scions SEMA brigade Are you an aspiring New or Used Car Buyer looking for your dream car? Visit Cars4sa.co.za Filed under: Aftermarket, SEMA Show, Convertible, Coupe, Performance, Hatchback, Scion, Specialty The Scion brand seems to be a bit rudderless in the auto industry at the moment. The company just doesnt seem to know what audience it wants to appeal to. For this years SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the automakers is kind of just going wild with bizarre customs like a turbocharged FR-S with a targa top (pictured above). Taking the roof off of a FR-S isnt an entirely new idea, but this targa-top version at SEMA is certainly a new take. In addition to just chopping a panel out of the roof, the custom also adds a louvered rear window in an especially cool touch that lends an 80s coupe vibe. To take the wild look even further, the car wears a bespoke wide body kit with an integrated rear spoiler and center-mount exhaust, and all of the bodywork is done in metal. Being for the premiere aftermarket show, performance also has to play a role, and the upgrades include a Greddy turbo kit, coil-over suspension from KW and big brakes from Wilwood. If the FR-S seemed just slightly inspired by the 80s, the xB for the show goes for a look thats a decade older with inspiration from 70s conversion vans and skateboarding. With design help from skateboarder Riley Hawk, the custom is painted in shades of groovy earth tones with bubble windows in the rear, and the cargo box on the roof stores skateboards. The interior features touchstones of the time with a mix of wood-grain trim, shag carpet and comfy brown leather. Finally, Scion is going metal with a custom tC inspired by the band Slayer. The exterior wears a custom paint job with the bands logo, airbrushed skulls, red lights and even swords shaped into the wheels. The ghoulish look makes it inside too, but so does a Pioneer sound system to replace the rear seats. It should be deafening, and according to Scion, some of the band members are going to demonstrate it by playing guitars through the setup at the show. All three of these customs are weird in their own way, but you certainly cant call any of them boring. Scroll down to read all about them in the companys announcement, and check them out in more detail in the gallery.
