PS: congrats (in advance) on getting an xA... better hurry before they're all gone!

thanks! its tough. not that im so ashamed of owning a scion or anything, but the more minimal my car the better. the front grill i guess is impossible. ill have to figure out the rear decal myself, will try the floss and goo gone but oh man that makes me nervous.

All the stuff above is about the rear xA emblem. If you remove front and rear Scion emblems, you will be left with an oval divot in your car, but I believe it is possible to do. What color and transmission did you get? Just put my rims on yesterday and it makes a world of difference. Blacking out tail/headlights/side markers this week, too. Sickest BSP xA on the road....

yea the emblems. I used the hairdryer, microfiber cloth, and small screwdriver method. I just peeled it off slowly and it comes off just fine. Just have to make sure it is heated up by the hair dryer pretty well and go inch by inch.

Depends how you go about doing it, where you live, who your friends are... etc. etc. I got some overlays from bluebatmobile. Haven't got to put them on yet, but they are pre-cut tinted overlays. Around $100 for a cool set, different tint shades available... bluebatmobile.net I believe. Window tint depends on your state and willingness to be illegal. Of course, blacked out heads and tails are pushing it most places too. I have a Black Sand Pearl, too. Black that bad boy out, and we can be car twins. I have a friend who does tint who is going to hook mine up, overlays too, real soon, I hope. Just put on my new 18" Kobe Viz-5's yesterday... Check them at wheelsnext.com. Real good prices on wheel tire sets. Good luck! (I've also seen people remove the rear wiper, but mine is functional... I hate Wisconsin! Check around for pics and get some ideas. Or better yet, have your own. My next mod has not been seen yet on here, and I'll probably get laughed at for it, but I think it'll look hot. When I do it, you shall see. )

YOU'RE ORDERING ONE? Think you may be in for a surprise there. I ordered mine in early July and received it the first part of October. And that was when they were actually still in production. If you really want one, be ready to settle. Although the auto tranny will make it easier for you, maybe. I know my Black manual was tough to come by... Again...GOOD LUCK!

i got mine pretty easily i think it depends on where you live mine came in roughly a month from when i placed my order i have phantom 06 manny and i didnt even sign anything with the dealer just walked in told em what i wanted no deposit they called wen it was in

it was actually pretty sweet i was in my xb on my way to get married and he called said it was in went and got it the next day considered it my wedding gift to myself

as far as emblem i just heated and peeled but i did it same day as i took it home so goo didnt have a chance to be melted by sun
