Hey man, dont be hating. LJ's car took a lot of hard work. I respect that he has put forth the effort to make a car different and unique. If his car was so ugly, why is his car there and your car not there? SEMA is where the best of the best go.

So were there any xA's actually worth looking at then?

As for the LJ xA....to each his own, to it's not too bad but I definitely wouldn't put CF stepsides on my xA!!!! It's bad enough that I keep stepping on the factory sideskirt on my xB. One wrong step with my fatass and that would be history.

To each his own..........if anyone likes that body kit...........good for them.

Some guys dig fat chicks..........don't mean I'm gonna stop makin fun of them.

I'm not "hatin".........but the cars chosen to represent Scion should reflect quality. Personally......I don't think that kit reflects quality........and that primer job sure as hell doesn't. If he put a lot of time into it.......I'm sorry..........time wasted in my opinion. But like I said.......to each his own.........my opinion is only relevant to me. You can wipe your a$$ with it if you feel so inclined.

And btw.......that was a pretty weak response. Why isn't my car there? Because my car is a beige 1987 Volvo 240.....not a show car..........I think its cool.........most peole don't. But I don't go off accusing people of "hatin".......particularly because I could never seriously say that word without subsequently punching myself in the face. And if you've ever been to SEMA.......you'd realize not every car there looks good.

Scionic.......I probably only saw about 1% of that entire show.........so I couldn't really tell you. I did see one black xA that looked pretty alright. Didn't take a picture though.

KiL,

I respect your opinion. To each his own. Not everyone will like that kit I agree. But you dont have to call it "pug ugly"

What is so bad about it??? I think it looks OK. Not my dream setup but I don't find it unattractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are tons of things done to cars that I think are ugly and stupid , but that is my opinion. Personally I prefer the looks of the xA over the xB but most here disagree. I like the B but it looks more minivanish to me than I would want. Now the A has the space but it has a very sporty look , almost muscular with the fenderflares. I would like to see more of it , one picture with you sticking your finger down your throat isn't enough to really judge by.

That wasn't me with my finger down my throat Risen.

I didn't get many pictures cause I actually wasn't there long......Arin probably got more.........I imagine he'll post them.

And I apologize to anyone who can't see the pictures right now......I'm using a crappy image hosting site that only allows 5 mb of bandwidth per day.............and I guess the traffic has exceeded that.

I just think car that chosen to represent Scion should be more "ORIGIANL"
It sure serve the purpose of getting people's attention
But to me, I think it bring out more negative image than positive

BTW Kil who is that guy in the pic if it isn't you?

Reactions from Overboost.com when they saw the yellow xB - "The car is shown in the current issue of Import Tuner looking more like a fiberglass and Bondo experiment gone terribly awry than the SEMA car it has evolved into"
