Default Backlit bB Badges

Just wanted to share some pics. Wes did a very cool LED mod to his front Scion badge. (See the NorCal Gallery for pics of his) Here are some examples of backlit bB badges.






Peace,

Default bb stuff

hey...why is everyone trying to make their SCION look like a TOYOTA?....the coolest thing about our little toasters is that they are DIFFERENT! they are their own brand that no one else has! Why you all want to turn your XB into a Bb is beyond me. As for me...i'll keep mine all Scion.

Sounds like a trip to "JDM HOME DEPOT" and Tap Plastic again! Dremel tool is needed to cut out the inside of the "logo" or use an exacto knife very carefully. Hmmm...sounds like a project.

BB is the original branding of the scion xB...and true JDM...everyone wants the JDM look...it's the true cool thing.

Although Scion branding is different...BB is cooler i think and even more authentic.

i'll keep my Scion badge for awhile until i get sick of it...maybe in a month or so...haha.

and besides, everything else on the car is Toyota (look at ur windows and under the hood)...u can't deny it's really a Toyota... regardless.

I just wish the BB badging was abit bigger...the BB badges outthere look so small ....

Hell yeah, I like the scion so much that I'm making a giant vinyl logo covering my sub box and I'll light that up with blue neons. On a side not, that first pick, the white one with red bB badbe, who's is it and how did he get that grille cover?

What are those done with? Looks like LEDs, but you could conceivably use EL tape.

In Japan, many bB owners wanna rebadge their bB to Scion and its the reverse in Stateside...... here in Singapore, many Ist(xA) owners want to rebadge theirs to Scion too....

I prefer to leave my bB as she is...

lighted badges are targets for thieves, well not sure how many thieves looking for Scions yet though

Both my light up "H" badges for my Honda were stolen along with the regular non light up ones. Damn kids.
