Pick of the Day: Scion FR-S by SR Auto Group

Photo credits: SR Auto Group
We came across this fantastic project by SR Auto Group based on our well loved Scion FR-S (aka Toyota FT-86 aka Subaru BRZ). This tuning project is is the result of a cooperation between SR Auto and OpenRoad Scion. The car features a Rocket Bunny widebody kit that includes widened fender and rear wheel arches, a new front bumper, a front splitter, side skirts, a rear diffuser and a GT style rear wing. But that's not all, a carbon fiber hood and side mirrors are also part of the package.

The car rides on 18 inch 57Extreme wheels from RAYS painted in 'winning blue'. Perfect.

We really urge you to read the full story of this build on SR Auto Group's blog where you can find more pictures of the beast!

Three Scion FR-S Projects will be Head to Head at the SEMA Show

Scion will be bringing three different tuned versions of its FR-S sports Coupe to the 2012 SEMA Show. The idea is simple, Scion picked three different tuners, provided each one with a brand new FR-S and $15k. The three models that you can see in the gallery below will go head to head in the design competition in which the winner will take home a $10,000 prize.

But being part of the design competition doesn't mean the absence of performance upgrades but they remain minimalistic since the main focus stays on design. The aesthetic changes are pretty dramatic on Daniel Song's FR-S GT which looks more like a race ready version of the sports coupe. The two other version are the
"Carbon Stealth FR-S" prepared by John Toca (Chicago) and the "Minty FReSh" by Chris Basselgia (Lebanon).

You can watch each of the competitors speak about his car in the three videos after the jump. But before that, tell us which one do you prefer?
