Default TRF xB bodykit *PIC*

Hi Guys

I made it! 5minutes before Saturday!
I am sorry, East Coast people to keep you awake until 3AM
This is the kit I have been working on for the past month
The MSRP for the kit is set at $550 for the complete kit; however there will be an introductory price through Scion Sport Tuning and Island Motorsports, so you guys will be expecting to pay $4?? for this kit.
The kit will be molded from the factory kit to ensure proper fitment. I have sent one set of the OEM kit oversea for the factory to work on already. The wait time for this kit will be a little longer than I expected because I rather spend more time for better product than try to have it done quicker by cutting corners. I am expecting another 6 to 8 weeks for the kit to land here.

Now, I know a lot of you are ready for getting a kit for your xB. I am creating this poll just to see if you like the design or not. If you are interested to be on the waiting list for this kit, please e-mail/PM/call me, Adrian (scioninla) or Nilo (XBBOY) to put your name on the waiting list. The list is just for me to know how many people are interested in the kit, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy it.

If you have further questions, please feel free to post it and let me know.

ENJOY! Thanks :D

FINALLY!

I must say, that kit is badass. It is officially in the running for my kit.

Question-what fills the big opening up front, any kind of grill in particular?

Personally Tim..I like Denny's rendition of the kit.

This is why the thread is here...to get everyone's input. This is your chance to let us know what you would like to see. The one's the get the most response will more than likely be the end product.

Also, I have to agree with Tim in regards to not rushing the kit. The tooling is real expensive plus with polyurethane, it has to fit perfectly Unlike fiberglass, you can't really cut it up and reglass it etc. I know people heat the polyurethane up and make very slight adjustments..but that is the extent of it.
I know when I had a Mugen kit on my CRX, it was really nice and it fit perfect. My friends Wings West "Mugen" style kit had to be redone just to make it fit.

In 6-8 weeks, we'll see the results and check the fitment and then once everything is ok..then they would go on sale.

Once, again, please give us your input on the design. All suggestions will be put into consideration. Thanks in advance.

Lose the opening on the very bottom with the 2 braces in it, it's hideous. I can't photoshop it, but i'm sure you can figure out what I mean.

DAMN! That's hot Tim!

Ok, this is just my opinion now, but is it possible to get a kit w/o the three openings on the front lip?

I guess I better start collecting those pennies out of the gutter now!

I got to admit that Denz version works for me. Great work Tim!

It would be interesting to see the front and back w/o the openings on the very bottom.

I think the original sideskirt is nice and I really like how the detail coming off of the rear lip is continued into the sideskirt. The Denzinz idea is kind of abrupt and makes the rear lip's detail less cohesive in the whole design.

I'm really interested in seeing if the rear lip fills the lower gap of the back of the tire and the inside of the rear well, it always seemed to "pointy" or abrupt unless you are close to the ground, then it doesn't really make any difference .

The front lip is very detailed with some interesting touches and I like how it doesn't flare out too much...
