i kinda like the way it looks, not down for cheap body kits and i don't have an xb.. it's not right on the xb, on a different car, ehem, xa... maybe it'd look better...

it is fastened, lol :roll: it looks like its touching on the right cause there's a gutter, you can see the gutter slope upwards on that side. but still... :roll:

I believe its a modified Parto-D kit. That is Elroy's car and it looks tight in person... Here is the original pics of the kit.

You have to see it in person and have knowledge of the product before you start knocking on the quality.

Elroy's kit is an original Parto kit he picked up fro, bBist.
They had to modify it extensively to fit the US model. The kit was for the older bB.

It looks good...

The Kit is a great style from a VERY reputable company. All these little problems you see are just the angle of the picture. The kit fits EXTREMELY well. If you have seen Elroy's car, you know what I mean.

The company that made this kit has been in the business for a very long time. And there is certainly a reason they are at the top of their game.

If anyone thinks this is a cheap knock off, please think again. The body kit is a very high quality product from a very great company.

If anyone needs validation, take a look at Elroy's xB or just give me a call.

wow look it's my car =o). anyways let me give you guys the breakdown on my body kit and where it came from. it's a japanese lip kit made by parto designs made of light weight fiberglass. the kit came in a white gel coat finish with parto badges on the inside similar to a real c-west or wald kit. i got the kit for BBist.com (THANKS STEVE) back in december and was taken to tc sportline for the needed modifications. the front bumper had to be tweaked, side skirts were pretty much good and the vents were shaved, the back bumper needed the plate hole to be shaved and the side angles needed to be changed as well. all the final products resulted into the mold of what you see now. the kit was finished about 3 weeks ago and was no 2 week process like some of you might think. the kit is very high quality and bolts on with lil work needed. if you need proof on how clean it is how does (3) 1st place trophies & (1) 2nd place trophy in 2 weeks sound to you guys.

i highly recommend products from TC SPORTLINE & BBIST.COM

if you have any questions or concerns feel free to ask me.

oh yeah i forgot to add my kit was held on by masking tape in them tc sportline pics so it's hard to base judgement of the fitment quality just by looking at them pics...

Elroy, I was being sarcastic in my post. Adrian told me to check out your car, if you were coming up for Toyotafest. I guess I'm going to have to make a trip to SD to see your guys' rides.

I do like the look. Anyone know the price?

Maybe we can get an all CA SE Chapter meet scheduled sometime.

I haven't seen your car since the BBQ in March, but judging from those pics it's looking pretty nice!
