The 2008 Clair Scion xB Needs YOUR HELP!!!

We are currently personalizing a 2008 xB for the dealership and we need your help. We are thinking of doing a custom paint job or a body wrapping of some kind as well as a decal on the rear window. Jim Clair and I would love to have you involed with this final decision. So if we could maybe use this post as a drawing board for members to post their designs of what you all think should be the design for the car. We need two ideas, the paint job for the car (has to be a realistic paint scheme) and the rear window decal (use your imagination). Please keep in mind that this is still in the works and nothing has been finalized yet. Thanks for all your help!!!

I'm thinking that green would be a good primary color for the paint job. Of course, something as complex as the Ghostfire's paint was, but probably a different pattern.

This thing's going to have some performance and suspension upgrades, right?

that's not too far from what it is now: blackberry crush metallic.

I stopped by today and saw it; the TRD wheels (and springs?) are installed.

I agree with Tam, something like one of the Old School Candy purple, like Boyd used to use in his hot rods.

Or if you wanna get crazy, make each body panel a different color, and between them, mask in some black, and have the panels looking like puzzles pieces needing to be connected.

Jesse that looks awesome!

But heres the latest from Jim,

The cars exterior color will stay the same, blackberry crush, but he wants a dragon design in a bright silver to be on both sides of the car and to spill out onto the front hood. If at all possible, we would love the dragon scale design to somehow say the words clair scion but that maybe be asking too much. let me know what you all think and hopefully jesse's expertise can put something together for us.

I say we put a two Dragons on both sides and wrap chrome trim around all the edges of the car...

hold on, are we talking about designing Manny's car again?

or do you guys want to be original?

in all seriousness though, I think Kent's idea about puzzle pieces is very original. you dont even need to paint them, you could have the sign guy make a big vinyl wrap if Clair is on a budget,

Have the puzzle pieces start at the front or back and have them fade away.

I think Dragons and I think F&F and NFS: Underground. Not something you necessarily want to associate with cars...

the dragon idea will only work if it doesnt get out of hand and look too tacky... the puzzle idea is cool cuz its new and i havent seen it yet, i also think another good idea is to have a japanese theme to it with clair scion written in symbols, just an idea though... and from there i guess you could incorprate a dragon type of thing
