Greetings all,

While here in Japan, I picked up the Toyota bB center console that lights up with the bB logo and cup holders. It's a awesome piece. Just wondering if anyone has this piece and if it fits our xB? The bB logo and cup trays turn 7 different colors and looks as it plugs into a socket. To me, it looks as it only needs a + & ~ to light up. I got a great price of $80.00 for it. Retails for $130.00 in Japan.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

i dont think it fits because i think the center console HAS cupholders
where as we have ours by our shifter..

as for the colors + lightup, u can just use a relay and power it to the parking lights..
so it'll only turn on when the instrument lighting is on.. or what not..

 

Because the bB has a column shifter right?

Is it true that the bBs' only come in autos?

 

the first gen's were all auto.. some were 4wd..
they had 1.3 and 1.5 motors..

but i think the newer gens will be like or are like ours..
im not sure.. i think they do offer in stick NOW

 

The only new BB i can get is automatic only, 2WD or 4WD. Then there's the cheap version with the 1.3L. 4WD models run about $17,800.

 

Nope, still no Manual Transmission Toyota bB--only auto.

 

Hey Ron,

I've got the part your talking about. I"ve been trying to get it to fit. No luck yet. I also got the optional lighting kit for it. If you want to get together and try to figure out how to get them to fit let me know.

Hope your having a good time over there.

Ron,
Spent a few hours working on it last night with some help. It is definatley NOT a bolt it. Much cutting and fitting required. :?

 

Id liek to try this to. Where can I get this piece?

 

can someone please post a pic?

 

Hey Brad,

Thanks for the information.

I've just got home from Japan and suffering from jetlag. It'll be the first thing I'll do tomorrow morning. I'm going to get that thing in there if it takes me all week.

Will keep you posted.

Ron

 

Hey Randy,

Give me a few hours to unpack from my trip and I'll post a picture of it.

 

Ron and Brad,

I havn't seen this peice up close, but I would love to mess around with it to see what it take to make it fit. I almost always have the dash apart so I will ba able to give it a full look to see what it takes, and if anything need to be modified.

Jason,

Edwin and I worked on it for a while the other day. It will take a LOT of cutting to get it to fit. If you want we can try to get together over the weekend. Edwin was thinking about trying to do something. If your going up to the valley for coffee Sun morning I can meet you there.

Brad

 

Hey Brad,

Took a look at what it takes.

I don't think it's that bad of a job. I just don't know if cutting the back plate in the dash will be deep enough for the cup holders? I'll be buying the JDM front panel so it should pop right in (I hope)

Have you tried lighting the LED's? I breifly tried but could not get them to work? Is there a relay required? Got the lighter to work but as of now, no lights. An easy mod to do if the lights do not work. Can replace with a StreetGlow type lamp.

Will keep everyone posted.

Ron

 

what happend with this ? did you get it to fit and work ? I have seen a few installed and look sick. would like to get my hands on one or im gust going to make the door part.

 

that looks hot!!!!!

 

yea EZ how does your water jet do on plastic? I say you could make your own. actually if you want to test it on one I am willing to sacrifice mine to see how it comes out. Let me know.

 

Kuts plastic like it not even there. was looking @ it the card holder on the back side mite pe a problem. I am kicking around a few other ides tho.

 

cool, I don't see why you could not just "shave" off the card holder.
