Does anyone have the above item?

I ordered one from Toyota of Japan and a replied e:mail I got from them ask which version I needed. It seems there are two versions of this protector and one is bigger then the other. Their not sure which one will fit the xB so if anyone has this protector, do you have a part number?

Thanks.

Is that the same one on the Carson Scion site "newscionparts.com"?

i didnt find it on newscionparts.com u got the link?

Yes, it's the same as the Carson site but I tried ordering it thur them and it's been over a month now. Each time I get a different story why it's not here. So, I ordered it direct from Toyota of Japan and would be here in a week but again, there are two different models of this protector due to two different bumpers on the BB in Japan.

Not sure which one to order?

No, sorry I meant to say the rear chrome bumper protector. It's the same as the door sills but made for the rear bumper. The US xb option is the black grip tape type and in Japan they came out with a chrome cover to protect the rear bumper.

This item retails for about $75.00 USD and Carson is selling it for $119.00 and with tax comes to $128.00. This price does not include shipping/handling.

Again, it's been over a month since I ordered it and have yet to hear the truth about my order. To be honest, I'm not happy with Carson. I won't be buying from them again.

Good News!

I got a e:mail today from Steve from Carson and he informed me that my rear bumper protector has arrive. Being that it took so long to arrive, he's not charging me for shipping and handling from Japan and to my home. I take back the bad things I said about Carson. I just hope it fits now.

Now that's nice. I just wish it didn't have thebB on there.

Yeah, I agree it would be nice to have one for the "xB" or even "Scion" or just nice and clean...
Pretty nice tho...way better than that overpriced decal/sticker!

I would buy one if it didn't have the bB, because I relly like the way it looks.

You guys do realize that's an OEM part from japan right....?

Meaning that it makes sense to have bB on it....

That's obvious. I just wish they made something exactly like that without the bB on it. That's all I said :D .

my cousin's boyfriend works for toyota product delopment or something and said they're designing new accesories

Damn! Scion's pretty slow to get with their own program... :wink:
Still no xA dealer option CAI, arm rest for the xB, SRS parity for BOTH xA and B, cheap ___ glue on ____ masquerading as quality Scion parts :oops: ... WTF!

Because the US customer will still buy it. The Japanese customer probably wouldn't.

damn thats way nicer than the sticker... too bad the chrome is too contrasting with my black... http://www.scionlife.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_sad.gif

Hey hahajoey,

As stated in this post I ordered it from Carson. All together I paid $128.00. Normally I order my parts direct from Japan due to the exchange rate and being my girlfriend is Japanese. This item retails for about $75.00USD in Japan and I'm sure Carson gets them for much cheaper. Overall, I think it's much better then that grip tape protector here in the US.

I'm not sure what your selling them at but I'm sure it's a fair price due to the high cost of shipping from Japan. Most people don't realize the shipping cost for oversize products. Unless their willing to wait months for it to arrive by boat. Myself, I have my items shipped via EMS.

Orataro, glad you got the bB rear protector.......and I wish it was that cheap.

Yen price is 10,000, curent rate is 106 yen to dollar, not great at this time. Plus you have to add Japan sales tax,yen exhange rate percentage,shipping ,customs, frieght forwarder fees, these all add up.

Japan does have the most unique accessories for the xB

Hey I don't want to stray too off-topic.....but any word on a bug deflector?

Hey Steve!

Thanks again for your help. To be honest at first I was a little disappointed in the long delay but in the end, you pulled thu.

BTW, the JDM mirror cover I request, my girlfriend is sending it to me as a present from Japan. Should be here this week.

Thanks again.

Hey, Sean,

I've looked into it some more but it seems the ABS plastic the vaccuum form guy was going to use was not rated for outdoor use. It would become very brittle under the suns ray and break. A lexan plastic would be best but the whole process of forming the shield is much different.

Looking into other options.

Just get a free account with Yahoo photos, put the pictures there, and put a link here.

At some point the aftermarket guys will have to come up with something. I will just have to be patient until then.

Sean

Ron, would you believe...JDM Toyota room mirror covers showed up!

damn, that bumper cover looks nice. my wifes xB had the grip tape one and it was awfull.
