Very kool. I loves the fish-eye. I just got an ultra-wide angle and I like the near-fisheye quality it gives me.

Good-work

yeah i just took it off, lightly sanded it, primered it and sprayed it with semi-gloss black to match the lower grills.

Wow, I had to do a double-take when I first looked at these - I just put a BSP grille on my TCM box. Looks a lot like that at first glance.
Nice pics!

Where did you get the BSP grille? I am afraid to do it myself, but really want to have it in the end.

Just ordered it through Scion. I kept looking for one to come up for sale here and on eBay, but I ran out of patience and went through the dealer.
I really like the look - being kind of "old school", it looks like it actually has a grille now!

About how much did it run you? I definitely agree, it looks way better. Was kind of blah about the color at first, but with the black grill, it makes me just love it.

I'll post pics once I get it from the dealers.

I wouldnt be affraid it was very easy, and took about 20 minutes.

-Removed Grill
-Washed with DAWN soap to remove oils and waxes
-Sanded lightly with very high grit sand paper, even a scuff pad will work
-Sprayed primer, made sure no runs. Let dry for 5 minutes
-Sprayed Duplicolor High Heat Engine Enamle Semi-Gloss Black (DE1536 Model)

I used that spray paint because its made to kinda beat up on, get dirty and resists rock chips pretty well.

I was shocked when I asked what people use to do their grills black and people said they buy the BSP black grill from the dealer. I saw one of these grills on a white xB and it has flake it just like the BSP box, I wanted mine to match the lower grills semi-gloss so I spend $6 on the paint and 20 minutes.

Was $116. The more I thought about it, I figured re-painting one would probably get chipped pretty easily, so it'd be worth it. It literally took 90 seconds to change.

Sorry about the delay in the post, but I went to the dealer and they installed it for me. Ran about the same as BoxOffice, and it does make a difference.

I love it! Now looking for hot wheels....
