Well, this isn't an xB, but the roadcow is a rather famous VW bus:

It does have one thing in common with our Scions, a Toyota engine!

IMO ... the spots should cover more then a 12" pizza. They should be 3 - 4 ft in dia. That way, from afar, it looks like a cow, not a white xB with the mumps.

LOL :lol:

I think the v dub that Geaorge posted is the best looking cow I have ever seen. Do that and just repaint the whole friggin thing.

Dulcimoo, after looking at the contours of the XB, it might be tough to put large spots on in magnetic... might have to paint them. Whatcha think?

Dalmation spots seem to be kind of a cool idea too, and if you lose one or two of them it doesn't spoil the effect!

Going the other way, zebra stripes (ala Daktari) would be way kewl!

OMG! That is sick....you need to see a Dr...

Looks good though, nice that it is easily removable, and you can actually rotate the spots, to mess with peoples heads... of take them off one day, put them on the next, you know, keep them on their toes!!!

Aw come on........leave the guy alone. I think its kinda funky and cool.......and definitely attention grabbing. If he likes it.....and obviously he does.......more power to him. I wouldn't do it.......but it's not so bad......and should be relatively easy to remove should he feel the need. Not as bad as that damn xA body kit. *shudder*

Why not just one car and one color? Because we are indaviduals.

Why the different wheels and grills and neon and such ... to make the thing different and unique.

Geez if ANY group of car owners shuld know about such things id expet it would be other scion owners ... Isn't scions tag line somthing like "As different as you are"?

Get a clue.

Perhaps you just don't get what it means to REALY do your own thing ... rather than trying to be part of the herd and be cool ... cuz other ppl tell you what is and is not cool.

I NEVER have done what other did. I don't dress, act or, do "cool".

I do what I want. Dress how I want. And Act how I want.

And I wanted a cow box.

Makes me want to slap you youngsters around. S**t.

Now there are some things that are NOT cool.

Gettin in someone elses face... not cool.


Hurting ppl. Distroying property. Not Cool. Not a all.

Yall wanna turn your xB into a 200 HP rice burnner ... and spend 50K cudstamizing it. I think that's great. I might say ... "That dumb". Or "That looks like C**P:. But I undersand WHY you did it.

But more power to ya. And I can undersand WHY,

Heck if ONE person looks at the bull box ... and smiles. I done my job for the day.

Cow are cool. Cows are fun.

What about that A-Wing Del Sol. Is that practical ... nah. Would I do it. Probably not. But is it cool ... Yes it its own nerdy kinda way. Why be cause that is truly a custom artwork. (I'd get a laser and put it in the gun. Wouldn't do damage but would be cool as heck - about 1000 bucks but heck)

My moo box is unique. The will never be one just like it. Just like real cows the spots are unique. Infact cause I gotta take them off to wash the darn thing I'd bet week to week it's goona look different.

I remeber reading that someone wanted one of the hot lava 1.;0s cause it has a plaque. well that's cool. But many of you have truly unique cars. You have your choice of wheels colors inside and outside lights. Why? Cause YOU think it's cool. YOU like how it looks.

OK. Rant over.

Was using paintshop to try different ways to make large holstein-type spots without having 4 large spots on each door. Think it would be good to maybe have one large spot, but the second one would be broken up into 2 or 3 large spots covering a similar size area. Also be sure not to make them level with each other - put one higher and one lower.

Like this:

P.S.

Dulcimoo, I bought you a little cow (beany baby type) to lay on your dashboard. Are you coming to the next meet on Sat night Jan 31st? If not, PM me with your address and I will mail her to you.

Oh yeah, be sure to contact Rhobz and Simplified Scion if you still need your moo horn installed. They are the bomb!
