Team Hybrid stands for the birth of a new tradition in creativity, originality and quality. With the guidance of its Founder and President, James Lin, Team Hybrid continues to set new traditions — going on 18+ years and we’re stronger than ever. The leaders of this team want an efficient organization that sets its own standards and qualifications. The idea is to create a team with diverse, hard-working members instilled with honorable values, passion and a special individuality in every car.

Project BuildAs the Founder/President of Team Hybrid since 1995, James Lin, who led, innovated and built his way to be the first to the accolade of 1st place champion of Scion’s SEMA Team Tuner Challenge xA in 2006 and also, to be the first person to win 1st place champion back to back at Scion’s SEMA Team Tuner Challenge xD in 2007. Naturally, being King of the Scion Tuners is the only option going into the invitation-only 2010 build off of Scion’s SEMA Tuner Challenge tC competition. This year, James is building the all new re-designed 2011 Scion tC. Since there aren’t any commecially available parts, he needed to innovate, project direct and outsource the development of parts as one-off pieces while relying on loyal sponsors. The foundation of the design process was his philosophy of building clean, innovative cars that can win at the race-street-show. James attributes this multidisciplinary approach as the primary reason Team hybrid has become legendary in the tuning industry and main reason why Scion selected and asked him to compete for the third time. The customized one-off look must withstand the test of time as well as keeping up with today’s import tuner standards and trends. But most importantly, the car needs to appeal to how Scion markets its cars to their customers, which is the mass market and not just one genre of the industry. Lastly, his 2011 widebody / carbon fiber tC needs to be an overall winner that can compete at all levels and types of competition whether at an event purely for show, performance-based and/or both. A 2011 Scion tC that is the best of both worlds and can be best of class year-after-year is what James believes makes a national champion caliber Scion SEMA Tuner Challenge-worthy vehicle.

Elle Navarro, born in Olongapo City Philippines and grew up in Southern California most of her life in a city called Oxnard. This is the same city Team Hybrid was founded back in 1995 when Elle was only 10 years old.
Elle was discovered first by Team Hybrid back in 2007 when we introduced her as one of our newest Hybrid Hunnyz and main spokesmodels for Team Hybrid.
Elle’s background is quite simple. She grew up as a tomboy and was always in evolved in sports. Mainly soccer and softball where MVP and all-star teams were no stranger to her. She has always been very competitive and love to win just like Hybridz. That is why we match so well with her and our fate crossed paths. She acts, models for major companies, go go’s, one of the main features on HybridHunnyz.com and is a treat on all levels.
She has graced the cover of Super Street, Low Rider and MAXIM Espanol just to name a few.
Lastly, she has shown tremendous Hybrid Luv and remained loyal with Team Hybrid for 7+ years now and our latest collaboration with her was at Motion 2012 in Long Beach as our Team Hybrid / K&N spokesmodel.
Team Hybrid had the honer to be a guest to an exclusive NOS Sponsored event at ESPN Zone at LA Live, March 16, 2013.
NOS Energy Drink sponsored George St-Pierre for his fight.
In attendance was James Lin – Team Hybrid’s founding father, San Diego’s Chapter Director – Scott Dean, So Cal member – Eric Casillas, So Cal member – Dan Speilman, NOS Energy – Nicole Lee and New Hybrid Hunnyz Angie Medina.
Another benefit provided by Team Hybrid Managment, rewards for performance.
