Damn! Scion's pretty slow to get with their own program...
Still no xA dealer option CAI, arm rest for the xB, SRS parity for BOTH xA and B, cheap ___ glue on ____ masquerading as quality Scion parts :oops: ... WTF!

Dude I don't get it, why dosint scion have that ____ here in the U.S.
Because the US customer will still buy it. The Japanese customer probably wouldn't.

Next mod, my JDM side window shades will be here by weeks end.

Hey hahajoey,

As stated in this post I ordered it from Carson. All together I paid $128.00. Normally I order my parts direct from Japan due to the exchange rate and being my girlfriend is Japanese. This item retails for about $75.00USD in Japan and I'm sure Carson gets them for much cheaper. Overall, I think it's much better then that grip tape protector here in the US.

I'm not sure what your selling them at but I'm sure it's a fair price due to the high cost of shipping from Japan. Most people don't realize the shipping cost for oversize products. Unless their willing to wait months for it to arrive by boat. Myself, I have my items shipped via EMS.

Orataro, glad you got the bB rear protector.......and I wish it was that cheap.

Yen price is 10,000, curent rate is 106 yen to dollar, not great at this time. Plus you have to add Japan sales tax,yen exhange rate percentage,shipping ,customs, frieght forwarder fees, these all add up.

Japan does have the most unique accessories for the xB

Hey Steve!

Thanks again for your help. To be honest at first I was a little disappointed in the long delay but in the end, you pulled thu.

BTW, the JDM mirror cover I request, my girlfriend is sending it to me as a present from Japan. Should be here this week.

Thanks again.

Ron

Hey, Sean,

I've looked into it some more but it seems the ABS plastic the vaccuum form guy was going to use was not rated for outdoor use. It would become very brittle under the suns ray and break. A lexan plastic would be best but the whole process of forming the shield is much different.

Looking into other options.

Just get a free account with Yahoo photos, put the pictures there, and put a link here.

At some point the aftermarket guys will have to come up with something. I will just have to be patient until then.
