Default A few pics of my long-awaited xB...the only BSP manual?

From what I was told, this is/was the only black manual available in the northeast region. Took forever for the dealer to get ahold of it. I got it about 9 days ago, so far, it has a clear bra, floor mats, and the cargo net. Went nuts on the clear bra...got the mirrors done, the back doors (above the factory stuff), the back bumper, the hood way back, the door handles, and the fenders to the crest of the wheel arches.

The Fiero is my toy...it is only 45" tall and has several thousand in the wheels, tires, brakes, and the custom suspension. Next up? Engine.











Gonna wait for a new job to mod the xB, but it is my daily driver and won't be very extreme.

What was the damage on the paint protection on the front end?

With all the extras I added, after tax, it came to $750. Original, normal job estimate was $600 (plus tax)

He said he has been doing them since it became popular and the new xB is the hardest he has EVER done...it took him 2 days, he originally estimated 5 hours (pwnt!).

What, are you guys really anti-american-car? Don't worry, if they mate, I will definately abort the abomination before it sees the light of day. Come to think of it, the xB is looking a little bloated/pregnant...where is my rusty coat hanger?

Nice pics. I may be one of the few American car fans here.

Any chance you picked that one up from Bobby Rahal Scion? I happened to see it there a few weeks back but didn't have time for a test drive. Went back the following week and it was gone!

BTW, the Fiero looks to be in excellent shape!

I really like how the xB's manual transmission is kinda suspended in mid-air. It reminds me of not-so-old Civic Si's and other fun stuff.

Not a big fan of the fiero, but I do love my camaros!

I bought the car from Day Scion.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Believe it or not, that Fiero has been my daily driver since I bought it. I was really getting tired of the PUNISHING ride and small space...plus, now I can take the time to swap the engine! I can't believe I used to move back and forth to school (360 miles) in that thing...

I dont live that far from day scion, when I went down there they dident have any 08 xb's so I went to the north hills and got my BCM 5 spd from them, I will probally see you around.

Good luck with your car.

There can be only one!! You must face me in immortal combat...er, yeah, Day has been moving them way faster than they can get them in. I had had a deposit on my BSP manual for nearly a month before it came in.

Maybe he's a Vikings fan?

Or worse yet an Eagles fan.
