The Scion Tuner Challenge is ramping up for 2011, in Canada. Now that our buds north of the border are getting the Scion love, their tuners have been invited to participate in a Tuner Challenge of their own.
The first of its kind in Canada, Scion has chosen three finalists to build off. Each team has been given $10,000, unlimited access to the TRD parts catalogue and a brand new 2011 Scion. Each team will work on one specific Scion, an xD, xB or a tC, adding their own style and personality to each car.
You can follow the build over the coming weeks and months as we wind down to the fall. The teams will battle it out for the title of Ultimate Tuner Challenger and for their chance to win a trip to SEMA in Vegas to show off their tuning masterpiece on a world stage.
Of course, Sciclonic.com will be on hand to cover the SEMA Show and bring you photos, video and news when the awards are handed out just like last year.
But the big news is that if you are a Canadian resident, you can win a trip to join them in Vegas too! Enter at the website linked below for a chance to win a trip for two to Vegas to attend the SEMA show. This is huge stuff because the show is closed to the public.
You can also win other prize swag such as HD Video Cameras and a banging audio system for your car, all provided by JVC.
