Default Coming out from the shadows...heres my 08 SW XB

Hey everyone. Ive been lurking these forums for awhile. Finally got some decent pics of my ride. You guys are an awesome community. I didnt plan on modding my xb that much until I found this place! Im addicted! I still have plenty of mods to do and Im still waiting on my black lugs. Let me know what you all think. Next thing Im getting is definitely a new camera -.-

Well done! Are those the Clazzio seat covers? If they are I've never seen them look better. I convinced myself not to get them but I might do it after seeing yours.

What have you done with your brakes? Painted stock calipers?

Thanks guys!

Rockthebeef those are clazzio seat cover. I couldnt be happier with them. I was skeptical at first but the fit is great. Everyone doesnt even realize they are just covers. And I did just paint the stock calipers with that Dupli-color brush on caliper paint kit. It was way easier then having to deal with a spray can. Then I just slapped on a caliper decal that was close to the scion font.

Ocrida Im out by banning. About 15 mins from San Bernardino. As a matter of fact I bought the cf hood off you. I had those chrome 20s on at the time. Still have them if anyone wants to buy them.

So... about that caliper decal. Was it made specifically for calipers (ie. heat reistant, etc)? Did you make it yourself or buy it? Thanks.

I bought it from http://www.vinzdecals.com/createcaliper.html The default font that is already chosen seems to be the closest to the actual scion font. The site said they can withstand high temps. Ive had them on for 3 or 4 months now and havent had any problems with them.

Very nice! SW was my second color choice if I couldn't get a RS6. Quick question on removing the vinyl, do you have to cut it from under the windshield gasket? Removal is on my list of things to do and I want to do it right. Thanks.

Thanks! No you dont have to cut it. You should be able to pull it out from under the lip of the gasket. I did it on a hot day and used a heat gun.

Thanks everyone! Its nice to see my work is paying off. Most of my friends dont care for scions and there are 2nd gen XBs all over the town I live in but not one is modded except the people that go out and get all the TRD stuff on it.

I hope you get the COD soon Nick! Let me know. You got some sick wheels going on your ride too! I seen the pic on the boxes

Im definitely going lower too. Im on TRD springs right now but Ill be on air soon. Thats my next big mod along with the five axis lip kit. Ill get some more pics of the hood tomorrow for you too meatcutter525

Pricey?!?! Are you high?

I've been looking at AME Shallens in chrome. Now those are pricey.
