I'm at the dealership waiting for a salesperson when I saw one of the showroom scion xb's with the rear curtain detached! They ship without the curtains attached - the dealer attaches them later. I asked if I could get mine with the curtains detached and he said no way. It looked good enough without them.

To detach them is it as simple as unscrewing a few bolts?

Thanks

The rear skirt (lip) that attaches under the rear bumper.

yeah, there are 5 or 6 bolts you just take off....i just took mine off (the whole bumper) to put on my new body kit...i think the raer would look good withiout the lip..

The whole car is basically snap-together plastic. You won't have a problem taking off the back lips or side skirts.

The back isn't bad, although the lower edge of the bumper looks unfinished and the rear wheel mudguards look a little funny.

The front would look really unfinished, since one of the grille holes is shared by the bumper and skirt.
