It looks cool, if your trying to offroad your xB. xB's happen to have a clean sleek look to it. That hood will throw it off I think. but thats just my opinion.

Personally, I don't like them. It's too busy.

That would be awesome if you added a brushguard, some KC lights, jacked it up 4 inches and put on some dirt tires... but I don't think the xB would have enough torque to turn the wheels. ;)

Doesn't look off-road to me. Kinda nice and the angel eyes will draw alot of eyes.

BTW, I just bought some CF stuff from that same seller and it was good...

Steve, of BbIst.com, has that grill. I've seen it in person and it's ok...I personally wouldn't do it but it is nice to see different looking boxes out there.

He finally got the angel eyes hooked up, and they did provide more lighting than the OEM foglights though. I think it would look best if it were painted the same color as your xB.

i like it but i think it would be better if there were round headlights to match with it, the squareish lights throw it off. be better if he had a more zoomed out picture too

i dunno...looks like as if those round lights were just quickly thrown on the grill. the headlights and the foglights dont compliment each other IMO

I like them, but the seller doesn't list the price of the carbon fiber one.

I don't think it's out yet that's why.

Looks fine to me. Everyone seems to be complaining about the grill becuase it has round lights ... I would bet if I started scrolling through everyone's old posts, I'd find plenty of the same people looking for TYC tails for a good price --- but I guess round lights in the back are ok.. just not up front.

I think the real problem is most (not all) just can't afford to spend $170something for a grill.

"It's out of my price range, therefore I think it sucks."

window tint is on to something here ^ haha no really i like it though. the roundness is cool. we got to throw in some other geometric shapes for our box. i think the biggest complaint is they arent carbon fiber in the auctions. just in the pictures. carbon fiber would be a ton better than ABS plastic or w/e!

Pfft......... I would probably get the CF one, remove whatever lights were installed, and drop some Hellas in there. I don't care if people label me as "trying to offroad" my xB; when you cut in front of me, 100w Hella + 55W highbeams will let you know of where I am coming from :twisted:

....add in an air horn froma train and they'll be sure to get the hell back out of your lane.

What also works well is to keep a 3,000,000CW pencil beam hand held spotlamp in the car. Works well for those who ride your ___ with the brights on or those coming at you who refuse to dim their brights.
