sorry about the quality, it was taken with a cell phone.
so basically in the picture you can see that they put a cover over the rear wheels, the have curb feelers on the side. what you cant see how ever tho in the picture is the huge wing they had on it and you can see a small bit of the crazy semitruck front visor they had on the windshield.. and whats even funnier is that it was an 80 year old couple driving it!



has anyone seen this xb before??

Indubitably that clearly is a sign that your car is most likely going to be discontinued. Mighty sexy I must say.

Seriously...that's what makes a scion a scion...it's different. Stop hating, if you got something nice to say, say it, if not seriously close this thread.

Another unsolved mystery... If the wheel covers are meant for aerodynamics, that doesn't explain the visor above the windshield. The drag would more than cancel out the wheel covers. Curb feelers are probably to avoid accidentally scraping their custom covers. Whatever, glad they enjoy their ride enough to make some mods.

Never thought I'd see fender skirts on an XB! but you gotta appreciate the fact that they did it right, didn't make them outta plywood or someschitt.

The curb feelers are a bit much, but those are really nice skirts.

I actually want a set, but I don't want to ghetto-rig them. If someone actually made them, I'd be all over that.

LOCOBANANA!!! It's a JDM company that makes the whole gangster body kit. Visor, wheel skirts, and a full body kit. Almost bought the kit myself. If done right, like with Work Leadsleds and no feelers, it's a pretty bad azs kit.
