Plum Crazy Scion xB

The car isnt nearly done, but it gives you a peek at what Ive been working on.   I dont have a ton of pics, because I have a lot to do before it gets professionally shot.    What I am waiting on- my Leon Hardiritt Waffes to come in, size down to 215/35/18s or 205/35s instead of these monstrous 215/40s (which will get me lower. Im currently sitting on inner fenders), and get a new hatch.   Mine ended up taking more damage than I thought, and it doesnt look right.  It has the stickers on it to hide that frankly.  Do your best to ignore it.  I dont like it, but it is only temporary.  I also need to finish up my custom interior and get that completed.  If you have any questions or comments, feel free to throw them out there.  Ill do my best to answer them as they come. Here we go.  Just remember, this isnt the final version, but just a progress shot really:

holy mole!!!! i love it!

i dig it!

I like it, how do you like the Gatling gun fogs?

bsm kit?

Gaitling guns really dont put out much light.  I tried them up and found them to be pretty much useless besides asthetically.   They are the eBay knockoffs for now.  I didnt want to try it with the real ones incase I didnt like the look.  But yea, after seeing the light out put, I didnt even bother leaving them connected.

Shawn, kit is a mix.  I have Pandora Premier front and rear bumpers, with modified Fab side skirts.

what's up with all those stickers in the back?

well it looks great!

I explained it in the first post.  Hatch is showing some bad damage, and the stickers mute that temporarily.  Im getting a JDM hatch soon, so it is a temp fix for an ugly problem.

Never been a huge fan of those cars but the front is clean.

well man I was right on the kit lol. why purple? looks good sucks about the hatch. and why those skirts and not the pandora skirts?

Always wanted to do that kit, love it! Can't wait to see the finished product.

I went with purple because frankly it is a color Ive always wanted to do, and never seen anyone really execute it like I wanted to.   It either going to  be purple, or the Sepang bronze, and everycar in the past year in Japan seems to roll out with a Bronze or brown of sorts.  Just didnt fit me the more I looked into it.  So wanted to do something a little wild, and wanted to push some limits. 

Didnt go with Pandora skirts because frankly I couldnt  find any available at a reasonable price (less than 800 shipped), so I wanted to mix things up and give it my own custom touch.  Even given the option of getting them at a decent price, I didnt like how tiny they are in comparison to the rest of the kit (in both width and height).

:biggthumpup: Very nice and different !!

Scotty, what the hell, you hold out.  Didn't know you were up to all that.  Nice.

definitely different, but I'm diggin' it.  D.A.D Hood Bonnet?

shit should get way more attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damnnn, I love the color!! Is that the pandora front bumper? what are the current wheel specs? And what are the waffes gonna be?

Dude this is one bad Scion. Wow we are seeing some nice cars coming out this year. Props for doing something different.

Thanks so much guys :) .  Yes, the bumpers are Pandora.  Specs are currently 18x7.5 +43, 18x7.5 +38 while I wait for the Waffes.  They are 18x7 +19, 18x8 +32.    I will probably run some spacers, but not much.  I dont want it to poke even the least bit, since it wouldnt allow me to get low enough.  Currently what is stopping me from dropping all the way down is my huge 215/40/18 tires.  Here are pics of the Waffes (although I will have diff custom center caps for them):

One thing I forgot to show.  Here is how I did the air.  Hidden.

And here is crappy pics of interior, which has received more goodies since the pics were taken and the lines have been cleaned up.   An official photoshoot will be in the future for it all!  :)

Heck yeah!!!  Those are gonna look nice on the car!!  Awesome build!

dang nice good Job Scotty...

looks good! is that the NEW scion limited edition color. 
 
I have a brand new chrome Handle for the JDM hatch if your looking for that.. let me know

Thanks!   

It isnt the Murasaki Blue/Purple one.  It is the Dodge Charger Purple.  It is difficult to photograph well to show the color, which is pretty dark in comparison.    I would love to get a chrome hatch handle if I did get one, Im just having a hard time sourcing one for less than 800 shipped.   I will keep you updated though, because if I get one, that is something Id love to have.

Scotty

damn that came out of paint pretty quick.  not bad now throw on them leons.

you know what we need to take some pics together.... ;)

looks great!

Looks a lot like the PS you showed me.  Good job with the build and also with actually going forward with doing what you had planned.  :biggthumpup:  Cant wait to see the new wheels on there

So any new pics of this mean machine?

OOOhh post up the pic of the rims =)

I have a few.   I havent done much with winter and all, but got some big plans coming up (redoing air, interior, seats, hatch, etc).  Heres some pics of the upcoming changes:

Waffes after widening
[img]http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6388/img0021vr.jpg[/img]

Then Im doing some testing of some custom touches.  This is a temp one to see how I like it.  More designs will probably be coming

So what'd you use to widen the leon's?

Went through Ralph Wright.   They were originally 18x7 +19 fronts, 18x8 +32 rears.  I moved the rears to the front, and had him add 1.5 wider barrels on the 18x7s, making them 18x8.5 +0.

i'm jelly. car is dope!
