I think that xB is cool as hell. Even if it's not your style, you still gotta give props for all the work they put into it. And I thought the slut was kinda hot myself...

Stock Headliner still. That ____es me off.

And this will be the last of the Green xB threads unless it gets some radical mod and you want to know how to do it.

Actually that headliner is wrapped in the silver fiber that was used in the inserts of the seats.
The van looks good in person, really a head turner for all the mods.

I know Eric over at Autowerks, he's a great guy and a true enthusiast. I get the cahnce to meet up with him a couple times a year, and at no way is he cocky or an ___. (I'm not sure about the other 2 guys mentioned in the article).
Don't go by what you hear, call them up and find out for yourself.. or hit a couple of mid-state shows, and I'm sure they'll have a vehicle there, or be running around snapping pictures.

:arrow: Big props for cover on minitruck'n. It takes alot to grace the cover of a mag.

First things first...the guys at PTAP/Autowerks aren't cocky. They have pride in what they do, and they do it well. So maybe to some that might come off as cocky.

Phil and I had dinner with Jimmy and his wife during their trip down to the photo shoot; they are very nice people and were a pleasure to meet. It took a lot of hard work and time to roll this vehicle out, and not to mention the fact they spent hours and hours at the shop everyday trying to get this done in a 5 week time frame.

The owner of the vehicle Jason Gamache (the owner of PTAP), and Jimmy Boykin (the owner of Autowerks), and everyone that laid hands on this car deserve a lot of credit. I takes a lot to keep up in the auto industry and to make sure that you always have business rolling in. You know they did a good job at making a one off vehicle when people out there say that they don't like it, and that it looks weird. Besides, isn't that the whole point of fabrication...to have something total unique and original?

Anyways...

Phil and the guys at FBI got their copies of the Mini Truckin' today, and I can say without a doubt that it is awesome. The there is a blurb in the Paper Cuts section (letters) with a picture of Boxzila on page (YAH!), a write up of the Scion xB on page 20-22, and the cover story of the Green Limetime Scion on pages 50-54, also there is a full page ad on the last page with a white Scion on it. This issue is screaming Scion xB, I hope everyone takes time to check it out and to see for themselves what a one off Scion truly looks like.


Oh well, thats my opinion.

whats up peeps! if you guys have any questions about the green xb i have the answers, i helped build it. it is owned by a huge shop in ga. and the owner is a pretty cool cat. i dont know who was talking trash because the owner has never even posted on this site.
