Default Anybody selling these over here in the U.S. ?

Found these on the Japanese Toyota bB site. http://toyota.jp/bb/
Will they fit our U.S. spec xB? Looks like they will. Anybody importing them yet and selling them over here?





Mods you can move this to I.C.E., but I thought it was more xB specific so I put it here.

I made something similar to the one on the bottom out of plexi, but it still needs work...

The dash box thing might, but the bottom one won't.

Also, do you really want something like that on top of your passenger side airbag if you have a wreck? In japan that's the driver's side.

They will not fit the xB.

The bB has right hand dirve, so everything on the dash is flipped around to the other side.

I tired to fit this:



But the angle was wrong and did not look right.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

If it would fit, I believe it would go on our drivers side too. (The top one) I wouldn't put anything on top of an airbag.



Maybe Toyota will make mirrored versions to fit our xBs. Although they probably wouldn't for safety reasons...

Yeah, the xB dash is a mirror or opposite of the bB dash.

These guys have some of the Toyota Japan stuff (not a recommendation; I've never dealt with them):
