Looks decent. How about doing the same on gas tank door.

Looks pretty good...I don't think I've seen anyone do that before.

gas tank is next..i ordered the smoked cover for christmas

nice!

It's O.K. I guess :?

looks good, i think the gas tank cover might be a little much tho.

For years, with most manufacturers, all the base models had one-color-fits-all black door handles and mirrors. You had to get the top end model to get body color handles/mirrors. So congratulations, you've just turned your car into a base model. :wink:

I was thinking the exact same thing. With my previous vehicles I would have killed for factory painted door handles. I don't see why you'd want the handles to stick out like sore thumbs. Each to his/her own I reckon.

i like it man . keep it original.

To each his own idea of what is cool. That's why I bought my xB to do what I want. Especially since there was a larger market of affordable aftermarket parts at launch.

I have a bsp xB so I get black no matter what. Did you have them resprayed?

ok georgee, lets talk. gimme da lo down :D

thanks for all the comments.


they are not sprayed they are originals

talk to me Eric..whatcha need brotha...some for you? :wink:

but of course 8)
oh yeah...Merry Christmas! :D

I think it looks good both ways. Whats next the grill??

grille is already black with the emblem in BCP. got a white one and painted it black. i'll take pic of that and post it if you would like to see it..letmeknow :wink:

Looks good with all of the other non body parts (wheels and window frames)painted in some sort of black color. Besides it might make that "flat spot" where the door handles are not so noticable. Looks better than a guy here in town that has a factory painted dark green Honda Accord with BRIGHT yellow door handles and mirrors and spoiler. Bascially anything that could be masked off at a seam... Real nasty.... :shock:

I'm feeling it.

It looks good.....why not the black gas door? Hell after that get a hood and a rear hatch........just a thought. :?

Not my style. Funny that I'm looking to have the black handles on my Silverado painted to match the body. Mirrors and handles should match the body or be chrome, in my opinion.

I was saying something very similar to someone at a Scion meet a couple of weeks ago. The beauty of these cars is that they are all similar, but as we add mods, it becomes ours - a part of us - a reflection of each of us; personalized. Each of us has a vision of what their Scion is going ot look like, and no two are EXACTLY alike. But what is great is that the Scions bring us together, but the camaraderie and friendship is what keeps us coming back.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you.

I think those door handles look great! Especially if you have a black grill as well.

I've thought about changing the door handles, grill and fog light covers on my car all to a different color, but I can't decide what color. I thought about white... or silver.. i'm thinking silver.

But those black door handles look good! :)

i like it :D
especially that it matches other parts on the box.
how comer it seems lke your rims are kind of,, dirty ish or is it just me? :?
well like i said, nice job i like :D

the rims are a flat black not a glossy finish maybe that is why. ...but i could be wrong

I like them. I was thinking about doing the same thing with my camo, the door handels, and the gas cover.

I have no door handles to worry with.... who needs handles? lol

^^^^^ i know i dont but i got em anyways. lol nothing like expensive body work. one day i suppose. shaved handles can make you double take. it's cool

I like it. The gas cover would be fine too.

Truly deep, :D

It is hard to find shiny black rims that look nice.I looked for about 3 months with no luck. As long as my rims are black it doesn't bother me. The different finishes of black also compliment each other in a way.
