Well the contest is over and Hybrid won.
The pics on the urban racer story are just what they were thinking about building.
I don't know about the other teams but the mods list for our car (WR Team) is accurate for the car we built since we made the list after it was done so if you want to know what we did to ours just look at that list.

Here are the cars at sema...

Jade







Hybrid







WR Team







I have tons more pics of our car if you guys want so see something in particular I will post it up. It was a ton of fun building our car so I hope you guys like it

The 2nd to last pic in your first batch makes it look like you can see thru it.

Im definitely feeling the VIP influence in both your teams car and the Team Hybrid car you all did a great job though and I know it was awesome having a vehicle in the Scion booth at SEMA quite an honor keep up the great work.

If you look at some of the pictures of the Team Hybrid xA, the spoiler looks like it is in CF.
Does anyone know if it is CF? I want a CF spoiler.
