Scion XB Sine-Vip Type-1 Body Kit
So I was flipping through my Super Street the other day and came across this body kit from a site called GroundDynamics.
They call it a 04-06 Scion XB Sine-Vip Type-1
Anyone seen, used or heard about this? It almost looks like a knock off Noblesse kit.
It is going for a total of $1045 for all 4 pieces.

Just putting it out there, but the real Noblesse kit is about $800 more than this one. Of course, the initial cost is cheaper, but I'd wonder how much more the knockoff will actually end up costing considering the inevitable bodywork that will be needed to get it to fit.

)I did all the body work on mine to make it fit, its the m2m kit,
and it still isn't 100% perfect, after all the 100 plus hours I put
into it, it ended up looking like a high 8/10. (check profile for pics)
It was an advantage for me to get the knockoff because I work at a shop,
but for those of you who have no body work experience, I say save
your pennies because its going to cost you.
Just a bit of info. a personal reference tells me that the Genuine Noblesse
kit isn't exactly a perfect fit, it to needs work.

The front bumper has a 2.5" square hole for the JDM bB's toe hook bracket, and this will need to be filled. A small portion of the back side of the front bumper will also need very minor trimming to clear the USDM xB's air conditioning line (this can be done in about 5 minutes). There is no exhaust cut-out on the rear bumper so that you may cut it to fit whatever exhaust setup you would like to run (such as the dual exhaust seen below), or leave it as is for a smooth, stealth appearance. The bodykit will bolt right on to factory mounting points, and comes with a black gel coat finish ready for primer and paint.
Full bodykit (includes front and rear bumpers and both side skirts)
$1870.00

back on topic peeps...
Anyways thanks for all the kind words.
As it was stated above, these knockoff's are a closer fit
than the real deal, they have the rear plate section shaved,
and are only about 1/2-1 inch off from a perfect fit, Knockoff
or not, these Noblesse kits fit extremely tight.
as someone mentioned about the reinforcement beams, it doesn't
matter what kit you get, if its Japanese specs, IT WILL NOT FIT.
reinforcement beams (crash bars) must be removed. Or import
the bB beams. I made my own front beam, safety first! the rear
beam didn't need to be removed.
