Yea kinda confuses people, most people now know the Scion brand and most of its cars tC and xB anyway, then I go and start trouble with my Toyota badge and everyones like "I thought Scion made the xB" or "Whats this bB stuff all about" its great to be different (or the same in this case lol).

Whats that piece that covers up the stock black plastic near the windshield / windshield wipers? Looks really nice - dig the grills also.

to hwybox-I really like the black bb on the rear-I checked into the same thing and just couldn't decide so I did the vvt-i

I was going to clear my lights too-but that's the only color I have on my car (besides the tails)-it's all black and grey so I just don't know.

Yea thanks for the feedback, I like ur setup to, I really like ur rear hatch, nice choices on ur emblems. I want two of thoses VVT-I emblems for the front fenders under the turn signals. My Toyota T came from a camry with gold emblems and my front and rear bB emblems are cheap e-Bay chrome plastic ones just sanded em down and primed and painted them black with metel flake. Im also thinkin of doing my front upper grill the same color of black what do you think? Its Rust-Oleum Black Night Metallic. I really like the paint cuz it looks like flat black but has lots of flake in it.

I thought that about the vvt-i for the side as well. There is aguy that did mini side vents too that looks great.

I used rustoleum semi-gloss and it was great.

My grill came black because it was an aluminum one so I never saw it any other way-I like the way it looks.

..and from what I can see iot is the right thing to do..it just look great! The other cool thing is that since yours it Turbo'd if we get caught together and we are dubbed copy catters you can just spool it up and disappear way down the road ahead of them (as they sulk and cry) and then we are unique again.

How do you like the turbo set-up? Power cool-but I have heard that some people are always having to tune them or fix something. It looks really great too!
