do you mean that slot the tab slides into at the bottom of the grill if so then yes the grill uses those to hold it in place also

No offense but I hope you don't run into any trouble installing something and want help from people. Maybe they will just leave out some steps for you and hope you figure it out. Kind of an ___ move.

the steps I left out are little details that will affect the look but nothing else...just because i wrote a how to doesn't mean i have to state every step I did so people could copy me...well sorry but I’m not going to lead the lemmings off the cliff this time people want to do this they can figure it out for themselves…

Thanks, but we dont need your help. especially if you have to steal other peoples mods, cant figure out/ or be creative enough to make somthing up on your own.

Whats a real ___ move is expecting a detail shop or mechanic to tell you step by step how to mod, or fix your car over the phone. Then you dont pay them for it, or appreciate the info they gave you thus far, even though they did all the work, and had to put countless hours into figuring the situation. Thats an ___ move!

What do you think these boards are for? They are for help. If you don't want help then why are you here to boast about your ride? If these boards aren't for help we should just take down the whole tech section above. Everyone should just figure it out for their self.

I know most people come here to ask questions about how to do certain stuff that they are not as knowledgeble on as others are. Personally at this moment I am creating a tutorial on how to install lambo doors for a few people on here. Yea it will probably take them half the time it takes me since I had to struggle through it with no help but big deal. To me this is a community. Almost a family. I think it is fun when other want to copy something you did or come to you for help.

Also asking someone how they did a mod has nothing to do with creativity. It is a technical question not a creativity question.

I guess I view things differently.


PS Im not bashing xBofMNx if it comes across that way.

no no no....I dont want your help. Whos boasting wise guy? He is proud of a modification and seeks respect or admiration from other scionlifers, sheesh.
I seek help on many mods that I have done, ie;

Are you lost? We are in Drag Coefficient.

Everyone should just figure it out for their self.
As stated in his first post, this is a breif description of the mod. THE REST IS UP TO YOU TO FIGURE OUT YOURSELF.


I am creating a tutorial on how to install lambo doors
Sounds cool, wish ya luck. I think lambo doors on the xB would look badass. Are you fabricating the entire mechanism from scratch? The reason I ask is, I have the seen the entire kit ready to go on ebay and other sites for sale. Now if you are are saying you are going to do a tutorial on the walk through of install and leave ____ out. Thats pretty mean. But if you are going to fabricate the entire mechanism from scratch, give out all the info on how to do it...then I just call that stupid. Why is that stupid? Well any right brained fool would know how to make one, sell em on ebay, and your idea would no longer be your idea.

Yea it will probably take them half the time it takes me since I had to struggle through it with no help but big deal.
Yes, but are you making the entire mechanism yourself? If not...why buy a lambo kit w/ out instructions?

I think it is fun when other want to copy something you did or come to you for help.
I totally agree with you here. The only thing is, he stated in the first post he wanted you to work for it. If you knew him you would understand why. Everything about this mod was divulged to you. You just had to do the planning to make it possible. Obviosly 4 coats of fg all around is going to make it too large to fit....that means some areas get less. Or other get more, or you need add a shim to part of the mold, because of gaps.....Planning....measure twice, cut once.

Also asking someone how they did a mod has nothing to do with creativity. It is a technical question not a creativity question.
Yes its a tech question. The amount of creativity that went into the mod was all xBofmnX. He designed it, fabricated it, shared it with the scionlife community. Let you in on a general discription of how to make it possible. And let you know that is was just that, a general description.

PS Im not bashing xBofMNx if it comes across that way.
Well it did appear that way...but whatever, water under the bridge. Good luck with your doors.
