I like it. Mad props. At least its not another xb w/ the infamous fabulous kit.... Almost as common as altezza's on every civic 5 yrs ago. Keep up the good work. I like the kit but I dislike the fact that evryone wants it or has it.... Keep up the good work and keep us posted for sure.

Awesome...sort of... Original, very different, but I cannot decide wether I like it or not. Maybe some high gloss Benz style paint would help.
This reminds me of a Cadillac Escalade xB coversion I saw years ago. I cant find any pics now, but it kicked some butt!
If anyone knows what Im talkin about, please direct me to pics!

Hey elegancexb,
the Cadillac Escalade xB was in a Superstreet or Modified magazine probably 2 years back featured in an event coverage article. It was a black xB with an Escalde front clip, grill, headlights, big cadi style wheels. I never saw the rear, but I think that the slim cadi tail lights from a Fleetwood Broehem would look sweet molded into an xB

Not my bag of chips but i love the craftmenship and how smoothly everything is molded to the body of the xb...at first with the foggy photos i held my opinion for thought it was a poorly done Photoshoped box but with these photos it def not...congrats enjoy and kudos! on a truely custom conversion the builders did a heck of a job!
on a builders note how long did the build take? fiberglass or metal? was it frame to frame or did you utilize the xb front/chasis still when molding the headlights and benz detailing/parts..???

it took close to a month, a lil bit of both, but mostly metal, he extended the fenders, used the front chassis, custom fabricated the headlight supports, the hood still the same, just modify real heavy cause of the sheet metal, all the front buckets and the under buckets have custom brackets to fit perfect in place, all oem parts.. except the front bumper it has 2-1 nissan pathfinder bumpers molded to fit right in place..
