For me, I have Airbrushed dog tages that "hang" from the antenna on the fender. They are dogtags with my wifes and my name and our anniversay. My wife had that done while I was away in iraq.

Also have a body kit. But thats not nearly as cool!!

Yay responses!

isnt it weird to see the before photos of the car? i laugh everytime i look at mine!...and it makes ou stand back and think of simpler days too!

nice! as i commented on your page i loved the fade look on the box and i hink your the first one ive seen with it cuz i usually see that paint effects on american trucks and SUV's..

yea i have to look into the roll down window module soon cuz as it stands with no door handles as well its gonna be a pain to get in and out of the car when its all said and done...and awkward...

"hey uh can you help me ive kinda locked myself out of my car....um no i didnt lock my keys inside they are right here.... i uh did shaved my door handles tho..." LOL!


Nick06tc - i know ive seen your page thats so cute the dog tags of your anniversary!! your car looks sweet! aside from the bodykit do you have anything else in mind to eventually do exterior wise or are you done for now?

I am working on molding my rear garnish to remove the scion emblem and molding the rear view camera into it. that will be ny next thing. I need to finally have my sideskirts molded. i hate how they look just out there.

Other than that, I think I am done exterior wise.

I just added a CF Kaminari hood.

TeribleTed (something like that) Has a fade also. He is in Ga.
As far as I know/have seen, we are the only 2 with a TRUE fade.


I love looking the before and after pics. I look at them and say, wow. Everytime.

I love it!!!
I can say that as far as I know. I have the only fade paint job on an xB in SoCal, and that their is only 2 in the US.
It makes us unique.
