In anticipation for the upcoming 2015 SEMA show, and the many new Scion builds, here is the ten best Scions of 2014 SEMA Show in retrospect. As the ultimate lens through which you can see your favorite Scion, the 2015 SEMA Show promises to be the best so far.
The 2014 show brought more than 60,000 domestic and international buyers to the Las Vegas Convention Center, so if you don't know how to maximize your SEMA show experience, try our guide.
What car are you looking forward to at the 2015 SEMA Show? Do you think one of these Scions is too low or ranked too high?
I couldn't take my eyes off the suicide doors built into this Scion tC coupe. Not sure how they exactly made this work but it definitely gave this Scion an edge in the unique factor.
The rear is a cavern of towering amps that a custom mixer and a 32 inch infotainment center that drives it all home.
Collaborative build by the guys at GT Channel and our friends at MotoiQ, there's a lot this FR-S has going for it.
Functional and purpose built, the FR-S was built specifically for the SEMA Show and is a great blend of compromise and performance.
The heart of this boxer is driven by a HKS Supercharger and the livery was brought to life by Mine’s.
Old school Toyota fans will enjoy the livery and color selection on the Speedhunters FR-S. This machine was stunning and hearkened to days long past. Nostalgic touches like the vintage Nissan style side view mirrors really set this SEMA Scion off.
Rocket Bunny body kit, pro touring style and theme, the Speed Hunters FR-S had plenty of form and finish.
The Super Street FR-S was one of the wildest Scions at the 2014 SEMA Show. The combination of yellow and choice of rim set off the exterior of Scion but what really got us to do a double take was the incredible ITB setup.
It took a few minutes for us to adjust to how the engine looked, almost as if nothing was in the engine bay.
Pop out the 8 track and pull out your surfboard in this dazzling orange Scion xB. Not quite a tuner build for the pro skateboarder, but undeniably cool none the less.
The shag rug roof was hilarious and the rear bubble windows was a nice touch.
While the Riley Hawk Scion xB isn't for everyone, it's unique with wood-grain accents and a mini retro hangout pad in the converted rear hatch.
Our coverage of the 2014 SEMA show continues this week with our Scion coverage, which certainly does not lack for the FR-S. The rear wheel drive coupe has definitely cooled quite a bit after taking the automotive world by storm at launch, as sales have tailed off a tad but if the SEMA show is any clue, the ZN6 is as strong as ever.
Simple and clean, the Toyo Tires Scion FR-S clad the orange GT86 with an assortment of aero parts and 18-inch rims wrapped around 245/35ZR18 Toyo Proxes T1-Sport rubber.
One of many Scion's outside, the walkway directly outside the Las Vegas Convention Center is known as "The Walk."
Awesome stance and APR front wind splitter up front and APR side view mirrors give this Scion an aggressive look.
If there's one car that can make the Rocket Bunny look unique, it's this Scion that moved around quite a bit at the 2014 SEMA Show.
Center exit exhaust and true race car elements, this Radium Scion FR-S looked ready for Time Attack.
The targa top execution on this custom Scion FR-S was impeccable and the picture doesn't do it justice to be honest. It was subtle and clean, all the modifications fit flawlessly and looked like it rolled off the production floor.
Built by Jeremy Lookofsky of Cartel Customs, this Scion FR-S was one of the ten best at the 2014 SEMA Show
Scion should take notice, and make this targa top an option for future FR-S models. For more coverage on the Scions of the 2014 SEMA Show, check out My Pro Street.
