The Scion tC EPIC by Cartel is a cool new take on a car that has been customized to death. The open air design offers the perfect blend of lowrider and beach cruiser styling.

Background
"The inspiration of the Epic came from a mix of build I have been involved in over the last 18 month. Each time I being a project from start to finish, no one major factor ever lets me down. Design changes on a daily basis. With that said what one envisions in his or her mind sometimes just doesn't look right and you have to move onto plan B. So what I do is take all these crazy ideas and apply them to what I like to call the DB [Design Bank] waiting to cash out on it with the next project."

"Major highlights that make this build unique are that it's a new twist of technology and insane flowing body lines. It's been chopped 3" with B-Pillars and center glass roof section removed and reinforced completely. This style build makes for a great display car that interacts with its consumers and vendors. The Epic completes the Scion line of cars better known as the Trilogy/Cartel Open Air Collection." - Jeremy Lookofsky, Cartel
