Hello Folks,

The coveritble xB will be @ the SE So Cal Meet on Friday Aug 20th @ Cool Station.

It is the first xB full convertible conversion ... for those who want a closer look, come by on Friday to the SE meet in Cerritos/Artesia.

Honestly, I haven't seen the vehicle myself in person yet. But i'm sure it'll be different and out of this world. Let's welcome our first SE convertible xB.

Am I to understand correct that the first ever Scion Xb convertible has stock wheel covers on it? I guess when you think about how much that conversion cost I probably wouldn't be able to even afford wheels, so I understand. Anyways, that thing is pimp to the limit, I can't wait to get my box and try and find something that still hasn't been done.

that is SOOOO rice... j/k

... I'm jealous... think Imma break out my circular saw when I get home.... looks great.

haha... the conversion cost the guy so much money that rims were put off. But i'm sure he'll be putting some nice set of rims shortly.

It is something u don't see even at a car show... a convertible xB.

this car came out of the lot straight to the shop...the owner just got it back this week, we will be working with him and I'm sure it will be fully customized in a few weeks and ready for the show circuit. Nice mod and quite different from any other xb out there. Big props to Charles on his convertible xB. I too can't wait to check it out.

no way! that is awesome. Not sure i'll like the looks of it, but the originallity is sick. props to this guy. I wish i could make it to the meet this friday, but i have to be in vegas for work tomorrow. <sarcasm>DAMN!!!</sarcasm> :lol: so will this guy be at other meets besides this friday, i would love to see it in person...is he on scionlife?

Yes he will be at other meets and shows. He has joined Scion evolution, has asked us to be help him out in fixing up his ride... :wink:

.... and has asked us to be help him out in fixing up his ride... :wink:


How about fixing up his photoshop skills too, the car is nice enough to speak for itself without the "Tiles" filter interrupting the photo. :shock:

I'm looking forward to seeing many more pics of it, with the top up and down.

It looks much like the PT Cruiser convertible in that pic, mainly due to the mid roll bar. :? Mucho props for originality and guts though!

Wow, I have to see that in person. So if you don't mind how do I get to this meet on friday night?

My bad, didn't notice the link on the top :D

whoa.. that is crazy. I might just stop by on friday

Chill, stop by man and tell the rest of your crew.. it should be fun.

Wow, that looks a little too much like a VW Rabbit. Anyone else see the rabbit?

VW Cabriolet all the way! Kinda looks also like a Fiat Cabriolet Convertible I drove for a couple of years in the UK. And of course, PT Cruiser-ish.

Hopefully, he won't be taking it very fast....not enough support in the lower body/frame...body flex would be too much, ripping that thing apart..

Sorry dude....ain't cutting it for me...looks too much like it's trying to be something else...

what's it look like with the top up? leakage problems? i'm not a big fan of the conversion, kinda reminds me of the convert PT BLAH but props on having the most unique box (can we call it that anymore???) i've seen as of yet

Nice work, whoever did it!

Jeff

yeah I see the VW rabbit...kinda looked like my sister's old car in high school.. :)
looks alittle bit like the VW "Thing" as well...

pretty cool IMO...and actually the whole frame structure has been re-enforced to avoid any bending of the body.

Does look a little different, but heck so do our cars compared to everyone else's, ya gotta give a lil bit of props to someone that thinks outside the box...sort of speak.

That has to be the most awsomest thing i have ever seen

That has to be the most awsomest thing i have ever seen

the most awesomest? idk about all that, but it is a pretty good looking conversion...maybe i'll have to do that without the roll bar....*scratches head* i'm wondering how much did the whole dilly cost?

Jeff

got a picture of the top up???

i remember the rumors from when i was in cali... now that i see it i still cant believe it.... that thing is bad ___ :)

wow that thing looks crazy. :shock: i shall stop by friday also.

It looks good but I just don't like where the used to be b-pillars are it makes it look tacky with the top down that is. Its just my opinion. I ain't hatin' I'm congratulatin'.

did the guy say how much the conversion cost? if i found like a bunch of money in the street or something i could be the first on the east coast w/ a convertable....lol

I dont know about that.

Is the dude that owns the covertible xB from Long Beach, CA??

nice work, i wonder how much it cost him... i sure would like to get my tc converted into convertable....

Is the dude that owns the covertible xB from Long Beach, CA??

yeah... i believe so.

Lookin nice givin Major props to the guys on the west for the job done.

looks pretty cool. not my taste but different thats for sure.

Nice work. Aside from the b pillar bar, which I'm assuming is the stock rib covered, were there any structural rigidity mods that were done? Any concerns with body flex? Props for having a nutty/original idea and going for it.

Just not diggin it

I'll give it props for being different, but I would rather get the bb truck version :D

The more I look the more I like. too bad the top doesn't hide and the roll bar thingy isn't more seemless with the B-Pillars...but certainly very cool and a nice job for the first try.

As for the fellow east coaster that wants one.. "why" ? :wink:

looks pretty cool. not my taste but different thats for sure.
I agree with you on this one.

Pretty wild, hope to see that at Marine World :shock:

thats awful. Its like the VW "Thing". But if it were a pickup it might be cool.

that thing is just plain nasty. 9k? funk man for 9k he could have pimped out his ride. It maybe differnt but it sucks.

looks awsome, hope that it is a auto top...

I don't think I would trust someone to cut my car up when they can't even spell Hydraulic and roll(role bar?) right. Sooo, what role does the bar play with the car?

thats a pretty bad a$$ conversion. :bow:

F - for its looks
A+ for effort and originallity
