hey guys whats up. well im new to the board just wanted to so hi . my name is mike i live on the eastern shore of maryland. i bought a 08 xb back in may and her she is
how they all start
now with a few mods
here is just a few if you have any question or comments + or - please post
Dude love the wheels. Love the whole car actually. Two quick questions.
One I see a photo of your xB with the urbanracer watermark. I figured that you were at a VIP meet then. The question is how did you get that photo for download so you could post it?
Second question, where did you get that light up scion logo? I gots to get me one of those.
for the picture i just right clicked and saved it then i uploaded it to photobucket. as for the logo when i installed the grillecraft grilles i removed my factory logo painted it white then 3m 2 sided taped it to the ac condenser. removed the bumper and installed a black neon on the bumper support. while everything was off i also painted all that could be seen through the grill black so no white other than the logo would be visible
I am using it. I am modding the silver trim ring from the factory knob to fit the new knob. However I didn't check fitment against the shift boot only the knob and made it too wide. I learned my mistake and where to stop on the modding, I just need a new one to redo it the right way now. After I get it modded right I am painting the silver part gold to match. It will look awsome when its done. Then I will post photos
Are you talking about the lil silver piece at the bottom of the factory knob? I couldn't get that off. On SL, some told me it didn't look right w/o a "transition" piece and I suppose they are right. It goes from fat shift knob to skinny silver lever. Someone recommended a pony tail scrunchy.......... ???
I may try again to get it off and paint it w/ the touch up paint. Thanks for the idea!

Yeah that piece. Bruce sent me a shiny disk to cover the white plastic of the shift boot(something you don't have with the auto). It just doesn't look as good as the plastic piece. I trimed it so the new knob woud fit snugly inside. I trimmed it so the bottom of the silver piece and knob were flush. What I forgot to take into consideration was that the silver trim has to sit a bit lower to cover the plastic, so basially I over trimmed it. I need a new one to retrim, but this time I know where to stop. On the plus side if I ever put the old shift knob back the silver trim I messed up will still look decent because I didn't ruin it totally.
thanks guys..and yes it is killerglass. if you order it from them they'll engrave with what ever you want. i added red food coloring to my coolant to change it from pink to red
very cool ride...love the light up logo...freakin' brilliant...
