Yeah, my kids gave me a transformer from Japan and it came with the sticker. I couldn't resist. :D

haha thats cool man, and your lucky the sticker was red, matches your car

Absolutely... red that is. :D

hope it doesn't come off in the rain

It's on real good. I even waxed it to help against Sun fade.

haha, wax it every once in awhile just to be sure

your kid gave you that? how old are you man? btw i dig the sticker, wish it's alittle bigger though........

How's the ride now with the TRD springs? Similar to stock? Softer, stiffer, same?

38 and my Son is 5. I actually ordered the transformer and gave it to my wife for the kids to give me. :D It's the new RX8 transformer and this one is a metal version not normally available in the US. All the packaging is in Japanese. I'm just a big kid. :lol:

The ride with the new springs is a bit stffer. Bigger bumps are a bit rough but overall it's a good ride. I haven't had a chance to push it in the corners yet.

thats awesome that you are all up into toys still

cool cool, let us know how you like those trd springs........

I think it still sits way too high but that's just me I guess.

I'm not into that slammed look. I wouldn't want it any lower but I might do spacers in the rear.

YES!!!!!!! I am EXACTLY the same way. . . I hate getting people who tell me to drop it 10 inches so I can make the underside of my car glow for free.

But honestly, after having the TRD's for awhile, I think the springs are a bit too stiff for my taste. It's not so much the bumps but rather the bounciness of the ride. . . but I don't think that it's so much the springs than the poorly matched OEM shocks, which can be fixed with better ones. I'm a big fan of TRD, and even although my springs are not dealer installed, they are semi-warrantee ok. They are OEM enough not to raise any flags to the dealer. I've been through the hassle of having modified parts cause problems. . . true the dealer has to pinpoint that your parts caused the problem, but my experience tells me that most dealers really don't bother with that clause.

then you call scion corp and they get in some trouble

Have you given your xA some sort of name now since you have an autobot sticker now?..hehe

how about istobot

haha, thats awesome!

LOL! We were calling it "Optimus Scion" but I like Istobot.

Hmm, I was just thinking...instead of NAWS or a turbo maybe I could get some Minicons for more power! :D

:lol: minicons damn thats funny where would they go to hook up on??? you gonna make it fly too??? with that minicon :lol:

all we need now is a DeceptoBox xB in black, and have them duel eachother.
At first I was thinkin bout the Honda Jazz, but a DeceptoBox just sounds so much cooler than a DeceptaJazz.

car looks off balanced in a way. need to be at least an inch lower and wheels need to be one or two inches smaller. and the STICKER. man... i guess it's a good start.....................

Cool, looks good! 8)

you should get a shop to make you that sticker in vinyl before it fades. That's cool. You could get it bigger, like the transam eagle!

yup

The springs havn't settled yet. . . and that will make a big difference. My TRD's dropped another .5-.85 inches after about 2-3 weeks. Watch those plastic gaurd thingies on the front. . . they like to scrape on driveways.

Yeah. . . on the sticker. . . I'd recommend some clear guard or clear vinyl (maybe bluebatmobile has something) that you could cut to size to protect that thing. The sticker is priceless.

Damn good idea!

...and thanks! I'm NOT a sticker fan but the Autobot emblem just cracks me up because it totally fits the car.
