Default a little molding on the grill

after a few hours, here what we have...sorry bout the dirty car, with it being 0 degrees outside, then if it warms up, the roads are wet and nasty, no sense cleaning it up..

I don't get why people put toyoda or emblems from other cars on there vehicles! If you have to have something on it make up something original. I agree with dugzillaxb, I think it looks better blank... just my opinion though

^ Reason being is that this car is the Toyota bB in Japan. So it's not really from another car... it'd be different if they put a BMW badge or something on it.

As it is, they're rebadging as a more of an homage to the motherland. :D

Take a look at some parts on the car, 99% of the things on it say Toyota.

thing is, the xb is not a right hand drive and it's longer and slightly wider. it's not a true bb. unlike chevy trucks / gmc trucks which are exactly alike in every detail, the xb and bb have slight differences. A+ for originality and effort, but my opinion is blank was better, but again that's my opinion only. most people will tell you what to do or what you should do, but if you are happy with it, thats what's important!

I agree, the xb is not a Toyota. Just look at the second letter in the vin number... "T" stands for Scion, right?

.....I dont really care if you like the toyota emblem or not, but the topic was the grill, not so much the emblem on the grill, thanks for your imput though. It was done by filling in the center gap and the holes where the Scon emblem would go.

And yes, i have the Toyota and bB emblems on the back.

I LOVE the Toyota emblem..
Break up already? noo.. not yet.. you must be by anchorage, I know in fairbanks it should still be freezing ___!
Looking at your car, reminds me of trying to keep my car clean there. Impossible! Thank god for rainless (mostly) summers, but then the dirt roads attack. lol
Good Job!

Nice job Aaron. I hope it doesn't crack on you like it has for others. These grills are way too flimsy for me to attempt something like that but I may eventually.

I know this is probably true, or at least I hope it is...Will the color of the somewhat match the car when the car isn't covered in snow and salt?
