chop that sucker, louver the hood, widen the stance & put running boards on it! Then for good measure, shoot it with primer!

theres one over here in the washington area that was at a show in july... i'll see if can dig it up they chopped about 2" off it..but they didnt chop the rear hatch.. so it ended up looking like a small lip spoiler on the back half.....

i'll dig around some

heres a couple pics of the xB i mentioned

cherryBox

wow, i'd only seen the first shot, and thought it was raked...looking at the bottom shot looks like a full chop.

gotta say, I'm not feelin' ANYTHING ELSE on that car, but respect the amount of work.

kkawana

yah.. not sure about the rims... or the paint scheme.. but gotta admire the work.... i think there are other pics floating around of it too... i just havent found'm yet... think i was also posted up here to discuss the chop too... those pics were takin at a july 2nd show... incase any1 was doing a search based on time frame...lol

^ That was our opinion too... the chop and interior was awesome, paint and wheels not up to par.... It was ALL done by one guy in his own shop, so props to him for that... I've seen it once at toyotafest in Seattle area and then never again... (He lives like 30 minutes from my house, but I'm not sure where)

The biggest issue on his part was not being able to cut/get the rear glass for any even somewhat reasonable price, so he essentially left the rear glass in place and made a little "Spoiler" setup...

Looks wise the chop was perfect.... New paint and wheels... that ride would be BEAUTIFUL.

i was wonderin what was goin on in the back there...

all that money in a chopped roof and rims and still has stock tail lights??? not feeling the way the back window looks

TheScionicMan

I think if I was going to put all that work into it, I'd have chopped it more. Maybe its just the pics and angle, but it's not that noticable. Maybe that's what he wanted, I would want it to look old skool gangsta chopped.

that 5axis xb is bada$$, id love to get that body kit and chop top the same, i think 4 inchs it said in a scion brochure??

WeDriveScions

Yeah.... in the right hands, that xB could dominate... But, from the info I got from him... it's SUPER SUPER expensive to have glass made for that rear window, which isn't an issue with 5-axis, as they have REALLY deep pockets...

If any of us Meager normal owners want to do this mod, I think we'd face the same issue with the rear glass... I think if you incorporated it on the sides into something like a fabulous style spoiler, it'd clean it up a bit.

Clean up some of those rough edges and for a normal owner, pretty dang good.

that 5axis car is the sweetest xB on the planet. Followed closely by the 5axis xB limo.

am i the only one who thinks chopping an xB ruins the lines of the car? the work looks good, but i'm just not feeling it on an xB.

NCBOX

Your not the only one

firesquare

did you say aerodynamics and xB in the same sentence?

bBlover

5Axis Scions= that chopped xB's chopped top looks good but the wheels are umm yeah.

mattross

Mine is the xB parked next to that one. I got to look at it all day. Alot of work went into the chop and alot more needs to go into the whole package. I was surprised to see that he didn't win any trophies for it.

If it was me, I would just sheet metal in the whole rear hatch or get a fiberglass rear hatch and fill in the window with fg, reinforce it and use that area to mount a 40-50" plasma screen on the inside with swivel chairs for the rear seats and a subwoofer system in the empty space where the spare and stroage area is. hmmm now I'm tempted to do that to my own box.
