Default New **** Mod Available

Here are a few pics from a company with a new idea. They make a very thin covers for your factory *****. They have cut outs in them so your dash lights show thur at night. I have yellow for my xB and I will also post a pic on my daughters Corolla with the Carbon Fiber. You can check out there web site a www.MRKgroup.net they do not have the xB ones listed on there site yet but if you call or email them you can get a set. Selling price is around $ 25.00. Not bad!

Not too bad, though I would recommend some more yellow ANYTHING on the interior so they don't stick out like a very sore thumb. Looks good though. Nice original idea!

I'm not a box driver, but I really like the look of those carbon fiber dials. Then again, the only real dial in the tC is the temperature controller, and I like the brushed metal look of it.

Good stuff, regardless.

The AC ***** are the only xB stuff they have at this time. If you email the company I am sure they can make anything you want. It is a small company so the people there seam very happy to help!

I have word back on the speedo trim ring.

They do not make them, but are completely willing to. They offered to give me one if I send them the surround to let them make the mold off of. I don't want to be without mine for a couple weeks, and don't want to run the risk of having it damaged.

They are in Bel Air, MD. Anyone else want to take them up on the offer?

You could just paint them for less.

And I have considered, but I don't want to paint the whole thing and I am concerned about how that line between paint and not paint will look. Since the surface is textured there will likely be some bleeding under the tape.

Being able to change out colors may be nice.

Looking at their site, the closest I see is purple.

You might try emailing them to see about a custom color.

well i just called the company and they dont make the pink. But I found out that they can make them in clear and you can have a body shop spray the inside. Or you could just do it yourself.
