Anyone have any pics of the 2 Tone xb option that the factory just started putting out. I'm thinking of getting the polar white w/ a black top. Any pics of any color combination of colors would help. Thanks

really they started doin it? hummmm like the mini poopers i mean coopers 8)

yeah, i thought i caught a glimpse of one at a dealership, but i was driving the other way. duh oh!!!

Nothing on the web site about it....

I have only seen one and that was a custom job...

Docsnuff posted a pic of one a month or two ago... Try searching for it. I don't know about Polar White witha BSP top...that would make your car hot faster :P

They are selling them in the southeast, or were when i bought mine. They had pics at the dealership but i can't find any now

Packages Polar White Roof w/Matching Rear Spoiler $924

I think black can get a thundercloud roof too.

D'oh! I was planning on doing a two tone job when I get my box in a month or two. I wanted to be special. I wanted to be a unique snowflake. lol

Back to the drawing/painting/designing board.

That would've been my second choice after Camo.


(Ooops, meant to just link to the Logo, hehehe. Yeah, that's the ticket) 8)

I would get a white top and a black bottom...you could call it the Panda xB...like Takumi... :roll:

Sonovabit*h....I did a photochop and was really thinkin bout doin it...damnit back to square one.

I think the only option is a white top. I heard, but dont know for a fact that the white tops are a vinyl sticker with a painted spoiler. That way it can be added to ant car at port. Has anyone heard this or able to verify??? :?: :?:

xB's in all your favorite NFL team colors! Sniff Sniff I smell marketing potential. lol

xA Pandafied (pretty much finished minus rims... this is a pic of my car)

a black roof on the xA (for pandafying) doesn't look right... But a black grill will work...

I like " Boxilla" 's two tone color. that thing is awesome. You guys should have seen it. :D

I am sure that at least one color had 2 roof color options, I was also told it was painted not vinyl(although considering how much they knew about scion when i bought it, this may be wrong).

Yeah, i was planning on getting a white bottom with the black top. But you can get any car with either a black, white, or thundercould top and spoiler. Its only an extra grand. I'm willing to pay it. I'll try to hit the dealership today to take some pics of it.

I've thought of getting a white xb then painting the roof black, having a carbon fiber hood, a carbon fiber rear spoiler, and some black rims with a silver lip.

Are you sure that's a factory option, not a dealer option? A lot of dealers sell xBs with flames on them, doesn't mean it's a factory option just because you can buy it like that from the dealer.

Thats what i was gunna do. I already ordered my hood and wing.

The 2 tone is actually a factory option. It'a in the exterior options on scion.com. I went to the dealership today to take a look at it, and man. Its awsome. The crappy part was that right when i was about to take a pic, the damn batteries on the digi cam died. They actually had 2 there, red and black, both with thundercloud tops. The set up for the colors is very nice. Its almost exactly the 2 tone set up on the Harley Trucks. Where the hood and the grill are the colors of the top

Picture that as an xb. I think its awsome. Definitly getting mine 2 tone.

two-tone bB::lol:

Not seeing it as an option at scion.com but if i cant get my hot lava i'd love to get a blue and silver or blue and white two-tone.

I was at the delear this sunday getting my scion dvd and free keychains
and happend to see a silver bottom and a black top xb it looks sweet wish they had those before I bought mine. sorry didnt take any pics.
by the way this was the Stevens creek scion in san jose and they only had one.

It is neither a dealer nor a factory option. It is a port option. South East Toyota (SET) distribution is not owned by Toyota. It is owned by a guy named Jim Moran and he has a bunch of stuff that he adds at the port that you can't get elsewhere. Some of it is cool, and some is just plain stupid. For instance, if you buy a Tacoma and want a hitch, you're going to get a non-Toyota hitch. Same is true of sunroofs in some cars. They also install "Toyoguard" paint sealant and undercoating and charge a bunch of money for it.

The paint job is NOT done at the factory. It is done at a body shop run by SET. It is NOT covered by the original Toyota warranty, but probably is covered by SET under a seperate agreement.

cliffy is right on. Moran does offer different stuff than Toyota Motor Sales owned distributorships. The roof paint option is available in Polar White, BSP and TCM and only certain color combos are offered. They are all with the matching spoiler. I've got a pic, PM me and I can send it to ya.

have you guys seen that camo thats two tone. kinda looks like it has waves. i think it belongs to someone named boxzilla.. i think. but yeahh, it looks really dope. i was thinking bout getting a two tone, but never really got serious about it

That last description about Southeast Toyota is right on the money!

I am the Scion Manager here at Capital Scion in Chattanooga, TN, and the Southeast Region of Toyota starts about 20 miles south of me. I am part of the Cincinnati Region, but I have to put up with all of that SET crap.

I think that it is important that customers know where all of their accessories are coming from, as well as the specifics on their warranty. At my dealership, we have contracted a few other shops to do some custom work for us (leather, audio, sunroofs), but we are completely up front and they know that all of that is aftermarket.

As long as the customer is informed about the source of their items, they can make an educated decision for themselves.

I'm enjoying these discussions. They really help me provide a better experience for my customers. 8)

Ecibus, I think David Maus has the Silver and Cherry colored one in the show room. It looks nice. :!:

The car is actually named Boxzila. It's dragon scales like Godzilla...

Boxzila's two tone really sets it apart from the crowd (unless I'm in South Sac, where the guy who copied my style is!). I hope Scion considers offering a two tone on select colors, with silver (thundercloud) and dark colors only. I don't know about a black and white scheme... maybe with a graphic package or something, but otherwise it's just too plain.
Thanks for the kind words about the paint job- they motivate me to do even more!

Boxzila,

Thats for the info Cliff,

Yeah, i actually saw 2 at Toyota of Orlando. I talked to some of the SA's there and they said that they do all the painting in house. So i guess it wasnt a factory option. I'm sure i saw it on the website. Sorry for the confusion everybody.

I found it. It is listed on the scion site, but it's kinda funky.

Scion.com->Build your Own Scion->Vehicle Selection

Loads up the applet with "your" Xb. Select a color then click Exterior.

Scroll down on the right side until you get to "Roof Packages". It lists the following available:


Polar White Roof Paint Accent w/Matching Spoiler
Black Sand Roof Paint Accent w/Matching Spoiler
Thunder Cloud Roof Paint Accent w/Matching Spoiler


All cost $924.

It doesn't explain what the option actually is and the picture doesn't change. But I think the description says something. It's either the entire roof and spoiler are painted the listed color or it's like the Saturn Ions where the roof edges are painted.

I'd lean towards the whole roof being painted though, probably starting at the top of the windows/bottom of the spoiler.

I have a 05 Black Sand with Thunder Cloud Metallic Top
