I have a PW xB and am wanting to add some black to contrast with all the white. I have done all white lighting so far to go with the PW color and the Speedo color. So far I have done a white neon underbody and 10 white CCFL in the interior. I also have the Kenwood KCAR70FM fm modulator display for my Sirius Kenwood KTCSR902 tuner which has a white display as well. For the exterior I want some black. I am thinking of getting either the TYC taillights or the JDM ones I saw on eBay. I am also thinking of adding the rear bumper applique mainly for the color and no other reason (that may sound stupid). My question though is has anyone swapped their PW grill for a BSP grill? I am keeping the black honeycomb grills in the middle and bottom but was thinking of getting a BSP grill for the upper portion. SO here are the questions:

Can I see pics of the following:
1. BSP grille on a PW xB
2. TYC tails on a PW xB
3. JDM tails on a PW xB
4. opinions on getting the rear bumper guard just for looks (is this stupid?)




Which one of these JDM tails do you guys recomend, any problems with any of them?

Thank for any responses. Sorry for a babbling post.

 

i did it but its not bsp. i painted it flat black. i have some pics in my sig if u wanna see how it looks. its changes the look of the car

 

Have a CG 2004 xB and switched out the stock green upper grille for a stock black one long ago. Still think someone should develop a vertical emphasis grille for all three sections. Still looking!
On the ? of the applique. Do it or the aluminum one, it protects the top from becoming scratched over time. I say that and I haven't done it yet. Think about the aluminum one as I think it might be better in the long run.
If you were a member of Evolution I'd suggest contacting Scion Sport Tuning for a decent price.

 

I'd go with the paintable housing stoplights and the black grill. They do indeed look hot on white.

 

Heres mine with a BSP grill

 

moved.....

 

that does look sweet on a white box i must say....but i wonder how it would look on a black....to much black maybe?

 

yeah a lil off topic but is it just me or are those middle and lower "honeycomb" grills ugly? i wish they had mesh grills , or bars like the upper grill.

 

I wouldnt say ugly but doesnt match very well...Im thinking about getting maybe the first gen bB line grills

 

Black and white will look good in moderation, don't go overboard.

I wouldn't do the bumper guard if i could do it again. If you just want the color, have a vinyl shop do something custom fitting and smooth. That would be so much easier than trying to wax around that and feeling like the exposed holes are going to oxidize but I still can't bring myself to try and wax them all cuz wax sticks in it like crazy.

Plus I've never dropped or scuffed anything on there that it would've protected from...

 

i have a new grill and i painted it glossy black...its on my Black Cherry pearl...i love the contrast with it and with all my carbon fiber pieces......you should do it to your white xb...it would stand out even more...

 

What color are the turn signals on these tails?

 

Where can I get a BSp grille? Do I have to go through the dealership and if so how much am I looking at? What is the part number? Is there anyplace online that sells the factory BSP grille? Anyone on here looking to sell one they have taken off and aren't using?

At this point it's probably cheaper and easier just to get your white one painted at a body shop.

As a side note, those tail lights are manufactured/used by Fabulous in japan:
