Thanks for the comments!

mrfuzzy4 , yes AutoZone carries that molding in 1/8 inch thickness. One roll is more than enough to do the stock grill. It was like 16 bucks. Just clean the area to be applyed with rubbing alcohol. Cut the pieces to size. Peel and stick. Just be carefull to get the pieces straight and even.

Looks fuggin SWEET man!

I LOVE the TRD wheels. Bought some myself for a song, but that song ended up being a lot more than expected. $250 for a set of four sounds great, unless you drove 6 hours to get them, find out they've been run into curbs and are corroding on the lips, and need two tires replaced. I have about 4 hours each into refinishing the outer lips on the first two, and they came out pretty nice. Sand, sand, sand, steelwool, polish....argh! They will look nice, but will require more maintenance since there isn't any clear coat. Plus, living in northern ohio, it's steelies and hubcaps for at least another three months. I am dying to see the box with them on!

Love the stance of yours with the TRD's. What drop springs do you have? Any rubbing issues?

Again, nice work!

Those tails are freaking ace too!

What kind?

bB2NER

Thanks man! The tails are LEDs from bBist.com .My springs are Hotchkiss with 1.5" drop. I have the Monroe 5987s out back and only had rubbing issues till I removed my OTG rear 10mm spacers. Now I have zero rubbing even with people in the backseat.
I have always thought the TRDs were the perfect wheel on the xB. The time spent on those with be well worth it. Just take your time and be sure to reclear afterward to preserve the finish. Also, have the wheels checked for trueness before you spend too much time on them. If they are slightly out of spec it may be worth sending them to a pro and have them trued and refinished. Just a heads up. Good luck!

It should be here tomorrow so we'll see. By the way...I've heard about this "adjustment" with this exhaust...what does it all entail? Is it difficult to get the fitting correct?

Thanks!!!

oh btw how did u do the covers for the fogs! WHY IS THIS CAR SO HAWT!

bB2NER

ProshopxB made those and gave them to me when I bought his intake as a bonus. It's been a trial and error 2.5 years in the making. The only thing left is the bB chrome rear bumper cover and I'm done for this year. Thanks for the kind remarks!

mrfuzzy4

any chance he is making more... for sale....

bB2NER

Prolly not. Looks like he is elling all his stuff. He used to have a turbo then got rid of it. He made them for his BCP then passed them on to me.
They are stock covers with cutout holes and actual honeycomb grill sections attatched inside. Def. had some time into them! I don't think I'd even try making more of them.

bB2NER

Can't wait to add the chrome bB rear bumper protector. Should go nicely with the LEDs.

i did the grille thing... FANTISTIC! it was so easy.... and looks so amasing! i owe u one for that.... ill get pics up soon as soon as i take em cant wait to see what else u do to ur box. GL!

bB2NER

It's amazing how easy it was to completely change the look of the grill. Glad ya liked it.

OakToddler

I would love to see a close up shot of the grill.

I wonder how it would look using black moulding?

bB2NER

I've only seen the molding in chrome so far.
If you save the front shot into your own pics you can zoom in on it for more detail.

Finally, the last piece of my puzzle is on order. Will post up picks with part on when it comes in.
