Top 10: Tuner Models

You might be wondering what tuner models actually do. In short, they’re the hotties who grace the pages of auto magazines like Super Street and Import Tuner. They also appear in hot rod and dirt bike calendars, work as spokeswomen for auto part companies and can generally be seen prancing around in tiny outfits at big racing events. Unless you harbor a love of cars and their various parts, you may not have heard of some of these tuner models. Of course, some of them often cross over into other forms of modeling so there is a chance you may know them well from other areas.

In any case these tuner models are the girls who we feel have made the biggest impact and turned the most heads in the tuner modeling biz.

Not that she isn’t hot enough on her own, but we also feel we should mention that Jessica has a twin sister, Jennifer.
