Default "bB Tributes" Debut with pics

I finally finished the transition from Scion to Toyota. The only Scion logo left is on the keys. Everything else is either bB or Toyota. Got 95% of my JDM stuff mounted up and some other additions. Here are a bunch of pics from most angles.

Very nice Jeff. I think it looks great. Simple and clean. Like mine (only different)

Thanks Arnie. I tried real hard to only do stuff that would be on any typical bB over in Japan.
The other main piece I would have loved was the bB wheels I found on ebay but couldn't afford.
Still unsure if the TRDs will even get used this summer.
I'm enjoying the ride of the 15s too much.

Are there any bBs in Japan running 18" Racing Harts? Do they even sell them there?

Did you just remove the Scion emblem on the steering wheel and glue on a Toyota emblem? Also, how did you do the bB2ner emblem on the back?

I know what you mean. I am glad I am running 15's again. I almost wish I had sprung for the Scion 15" alloys when I bought mine. Now I can't find any used ones. I haven't heard back from the guy who wanted to buy my 17's. At least I have two empty garages to store them in now.

BTW, still no Siphon to be found.

I made a thin removable cover for the Scion logo and the Toyota logo is the same size as the cover so it looks seamless. I can undo it in less than a minute.
My username is the chrome letters you can buy from several sources. I was bummed cause they didn't have lower case bs.
I had even found a set of the 04' style xB alloys with the twisted split spokes with tires for like 400 shipped.
The bB wheels were only 430 shipped.

I got a mint set with the emblems removed already. Just got the Yaris ones so I'm rockin them for awhile.
The bB wheels would have been the best tho.

Wow - what a change! You've done a lot of work there Jeff!

Looks like several of us are going back to the stock 15s/springs now, huh? I'm really jazzed I got the alloys when I bought the car after all.
Not to hi-jack your post, but here's mine now:



I figured you could appreciate it. I kind of miss the "bad@ss looks" quotient, but man, does it ride nice now. I just put up a new post with details, myself...

I'm with you Daniel. It's still modded. Just less bling and more zing. My new header is amazing. The ride is 300% better with stock springs and Monroes all around. Life is good.
Wasn't sure if anyone would notice how different it looks from before. My wife was mad at me for removing the Scion graphics but I said, "they don't go with the new theme so they are gone".

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I'm more about how it drives now than what it looks like. Can only afford so much while being un employed.
