The annual SEMA Show is an exciting time for car tuners and enthusiast worldwide, as the aftermarket gets ready to unleash all of its newest products for today’s hottest cars. And what car is hotter this year than the Scion FR-S?

As we mentioned in our review of the FR-S, Toyota has put out one of its greatest sports cars ever in the form of a Scion. Since its release, the aftermarket has pounced on every opportunity to eke out more performance from the FR-S, and we expect to see plenty of new offerings at this year’s show in Las Vegas.

Meguiar’s teamed up with Scion as well as designers RJ De Vera and Jon Sibal to create this machine, which will sport a Vortech Supercharger under the hood. In addition, the team reached out to Motiv Concepts for its high-flow catalytic converter and a bespoke exhaust system with custom powder-coated tips.

But performance isn’t all this ‘NuR’ Concept FR-S is all about. Grabbing the attention of show-goers at SEMA could be a tough task, considering the sea of customized cars that show up from all across the nation. As a detailing company, Meguiar’s placed emphasis on the fine details of the project, outfitting the exterior with a ChargeSpeed carbon fiber aero kit. Five:AD pitched in with its rear trunk wing, while the headlight and taillight housings were modified.

A coat of Meguiar’s Fly Yellow paint was then applied, before Daley Visual worked its magic with a matte gunmetal racing stripe. For a wheel setup, the team reached out to Forgeline Motorsports for its GA1R Forged Monoblock wheels that utilize a single-bolt design. Staggered in 19-inch, the wheels conceal a four-piston Brembo big brake kit with Clubsport race calipers in the front and Sport calipers in the rear. Suspension duties are handled by a set of KW Suspension Variant 3 coilovers.

Lastly, plenty of details accent the interior including black leather and grey Alcantara with yellow contrast stitching, custom yellow seat belts and dash panels wrapped in Meguiar’s Carbon Black Wraptivo.

AutoGuide will be sure to check out the Meguiar’s Scion FR-S at the Scion booth at this year’s SEMA Show. But for now, check out some close up teaser photos that were sent to us of the project.

I don't like those center caps one bit, but the rest s pretty nice.

Mmmmmm, love the yellow.

Agreed. Car looks great in yellow.

Okay, I need this in my garage.

K, are you reading this Scion. A lot of members liking color "Yellow". It might be a good idea to bring FR-S RS color as "yellow"... but that's just my 2 cents

So are those wanna-be centerlock center caps or legit centerlock wheels? Either way....why?

Maybe FT86club members can email/write to Toyota/Scion and tell them this :)

I think it might just be me, but the interior looks like it threw up on itself... The exterior looks great though.

WANT YELLOW ON A BRZ

"Forgeline Center Lock Conversion kits replace your car's multiple-lug nut mounting system with a center lock hub adapter and a single center locking nut on each wheel - identical to those used on the world's most exotic race cars. Choose from our original Center Lock Conversion (with full-length hub spindle) or the new Flush-Loc Conversion (that eliminates the snout of the adapter for a "flush" clean look)."

BECAUSE RACE CAR? I don't see too many people doing this at $1,200+ per wheel, not to mention the cost of the conversion... But it does look baller.

:thumbup:

Wow....:drool: I love it! It would look even better cleaned up without a bunch of stickers down the doors. Obviously, being a SEMA show car that's not really possible.

I stand corrected.

Those center locks look like crap

Thanks ;)

This car is sex. Not one thing I don't like about it. :drool:

Lil bit of both. They are center lock through a conversion spacer that bolts to the existing lugs and sends out a new male thread.

I like the Yellow, Super Charger and the Brembos.

Love that front lip in the 3d model drawing

You should also ask about the sub/baby 86 car. :party0030:

Alright the headlight finally looks good on the FRS, now where is the picture with the new taillight????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????

More teaser shots? Id like to see a real exterior shot instead of rendering.

Could anyone PM me and the Scion to SEMA drive? I know it might already be too late to register but I talked to a few peeps and the Scion night at Knotts scary farm yesterday, they said I might be able to still join. I also sent an email to Moto from club4ag...

Here's my credit card, good sirs:

Love the seats. Very 458 Italia like.

God that looks good. Can you imagine if someone at Meguiars gets to keep that car, how sick would that be.

Dear Scion, yellow looks like a good color for the FR-S. You might want to add it as another color. Think about it..

tbh i wouldn't be suprised if the next supra would be made a scion... one reason would be because, scion is for the younger adults or teenagers that want a car. 2nd for cheap pricing i suggest 3rd i think mainly scion would become a sports devision for toyota since toyota doesnt really make sports car anymore so in theory... I think scion would become the sports brand of toyota since the TC is known to be the celica's successor

Very cool. Can't wait to check it out.

fair trade for mine!

I love yellow too, but they will not bring it out in all likelihood mostly due to fade issues

Yeah that's B E A utiful! I like it a lot!

I wonder how much/how difficult the push to start is to add on.

These pictures aren't enough to per-suede me that suede inserts are a good idea in the interior.... But everything else is very tastefully done!
