Scion xB Rear Bumper Applique?? What do you think?
#21
I have the JDM Chrome Step Guard and IMO I think it def. looks better and prob would serve its purpose more then the USDM bumper sticker. I say go for quality.

Thanks for the thoughts. BTW, the correction to my original post should be if I were 10 years YOUNGER, of course, I'd love to mod my car. That said, I do believe you are never too old to mod, but in my case, I have too many responsibilities (financial and otherwise) to afford it.
With that said, I love the chrome and might look into that.

make your own style.
If you want the protection without the holes (whoa, did I just say something sexual?), an idea for some might be to buy that 3M grip tape and then cut out your own design to make your box even more individual. Think I am going to try that route.

The chrome one looks very nice.
It depends on what you priorities are, I just wanted to protect the bumper and have a little spot to rest something on.
It's pretty easy just to NOT wax that little area. It's not as it you will ever notice the top of the bumper isn't waxed.
I'd say if you think you need something like this and you aren't worried about spending a little frivolously, go for that chrome one, it looks sweet.
If you are just looking to mod your car lightly and get something for your money, then, I would suggest something that is actually useful.
Perhaps a cold air intake or a thicker rear anti-sway bar.

I got the bumper applique with my $50 gift card from Scion, and so far i like it. It helps to proptect the top of the bumper and I think it looks nice too. I have dogs and everytime they get out of the back of the car they always step on the top of the bumper, so it gives me peace of mind to know there is something between the paint and their dirty ___ paws.

Rear Bumper
Well I was having a mod done to the back, and guess what, The guy working on my car did 4 SKUFFS on top of that little bumper! I really do like the Chrome bB Bumper, but the only thing that bothers me is the LACK of Anything Chrome on the body of the car. I think you would definetely need to change to the JDM bB emblem, as it is more silvery, like the JDM bumper.
I really wonder what would have happened had I had the JDM bumper when that guy dropped or drug something across my bumper. Since I had NO sticker or JDM Bumper ,I was able to WAX the bumper and it came out really nice. By the way , I Highly recommend Meguires ScratchX. I was Amazed how good it came out.
Lastly, Im really glad for this Post, cause I wanted to see what others had done so far. I REALLY HATE that Rough Sticker with Holes. I completely see why the holes are a problem.
I want to know why OTHER cars get a Nice RUBBER step. They are Thick Rubber too.
And does anyone know, is there possibly another model`s car that has a REAL step guard, that would work on the xB`s step and look like it was made for that spot?

With that said, if it makes YOU happy, all the power to you.
Any idea where to get these elusive chrome bumper guards/decorations?

Forget the chrome, I got some of that 3M stuff and cut out a clear cover the size of the factory one and after it is applied you can't really see it but the top of the bumper is protected!!!!
#35
I just installed the scion bumper cover and i like it on my tcm, i shows up real good, chrome one looks good but i personally try to stay as far away from anything chrome as i can , but thats just me. I'm in the same boat as you as far as mods go, moon hub caps, bumper cover and windshield decal that says BOXCAR thats about it for now.

Flitz metal polish it is the best on the market and the best that money can buy, est part?? It's cheap the few bucks spent and the first time you use it I know you will praise me for letting you all in on this product.
The other things it can be used for, is a plastic polish as well. when your headlights start to haze. If you use it as a preemptive strike the haze should never appear.
