Trick It Out: MTV's Tuner Challenge is an MTVreality television show focusing on automobilemodification. The show airs primarily on MTV2 and is hosted by award-winning car tuner, RJ de Vera, and narrated by MTV news personality, Sway Calloway.
The show is a tournament-style competition to find out who is the "most creative, resourceful, and ingenious Tuner in the nation". Each crew of four Tuners from rival car modification shops in Southern California gets a similar car to start with, 14 days, and $15,000 to do their very best cosmetic work. In the end, the teams are judged by de Vera on criteria such as craftsmanship, creativity, and the ability to have a theme. The winning crew gets to go home with their car, as well as the car of the losing team.
Each episode of the 30-minute show would follow the two teams as they took their cars from the planning stage to completion. Various situations, both positive and negative, would be highlighted, such as bad paint jobs, incomplete features, and insight into the creation of different features for the cars.
The tournament featured 8 teams from car modification shops in Southern California. Each round offered different rules for the contestants to follow.
Round one, the quarterfinals, allowed teams to choose their own themes for their cars.
Round two, the semifinals, had de Vera choose the theme for each contest.
In episode one of the semifinals, de Vera had the teams stick to a "secret agent" theme.
In episode two of the semifinals, de Vera had the teams stick to an "ultimate gaming" theme.
Round three, the finals, de Vera gave the teams new cars, both the 2006 HondaCivic EX Coupe, and gave them the theme of "car of the future".
