After reading broken_20_2's thread, I think we need a dedicated appreciation thread for JDM and JDM-inspired cars. This is an appreciation thread, not a hater thread. VIP "styled" cars are a plus...

Please show off your JDM upgrades if you can. Rumion visors, emblems, garnishes, etc. Also looking to see some VIP style stuff on the XB, Rumion, or 2nd gen bB.

I'll begin with some of my favorites...

 

off to a great start! subscribed

 

+1!!

 

I found a bunch of pics from the Hawaiins spying on the Japanese...

 

More stuff I found...

 

damm those are nice rides. Where can we find those dash pieces?

 

I would like to know about these dash pieces. And prices please.

 

Maybe we should trade our emblems, they like Scion, we like Rumion.

 

Only problem with the dash pieces were they look to be Right drive, not left drive like we would need...

 

Yah, I have no idea how much those dash pieces cost. I just found pics of them browsing Japanese Google @ www.google.co.jp. My main point was the JDM market has nicer stuff then we do. I just got my Rumion mirror caps, door handles, badges, and garnish and everything fits perfectly since they're OEM.

I think Charles has a really nice interior that he got from Autofashion. I'm going to contact them and try to see if I can score a set in a burlwood trim.


haha, I noticed that too.

 

i actually found this dash kits, dont know much about this company or anything like that, and i dont know How JDM this is but here you go........

On second thought, I think I'm going to attempt this look... This looks pretty classy too and doesn't look like a "stick on."

 

damm thats really nice.

 

I love this thread!!!! Thanks D

 

That wood trim and wheel looks damn nice! Now I'm having second thoughts on making mine all matt black. The dash actually looks like it was upholstered rather than painted, matches the door where the cloth insert is too.

Almost looks like most of the interior pieces were painted brown too, just look at the vents, door handle, AUX cover, and parking brake handle release button. OR it's my 40 year old eyes...

 

Amen to the Rumion...The Japanese aftermarket usually has better parts available. The natural wood grain interior looks really good (and it does look like the plastic is actually a chocolate brown). The entire interior of the Rumion is just better. I Love the Mac co. ltd rear spoiler (might be ordering it soon). Thanks D-Unit, for starting this thread, now I'm on a mission to search for Rumion stuff

 

The close up of the spoiler is dope. I'm not a fan of the USDM spoiler, at all. But I'd rock that one.

 

no one else have stuff to share? IMO, the gen2 bB looks the best.

 

Wow, the bB just looks so damn weird. I'd love to drive that around.

 

this thread is the best thread I ever read on scionlife!
it sucks that they decided to make the rumion and the 2nd gen xb have different body styles cause we have no exterior parts other than a few. as a 1st gen xb owner there was tons of options for parts and guys in the states would make knock offs of the jdm stuff. i wish all the parts avail for rumion could fit the xb . . . game over =) lol

hey D unit - did you get those pics from SE Hawaii?
