^^^ Pretty nice. Would be even cooler if it was flush or at least color matched.

Still debating if i should shave mine.

Also think it blends and matches well with the Scion logos.

Is that the Scion one, or a hardware store one?

My plan was to just get a rubber or metal one from a hardware
store and paint to match.

Thanks for the info tinnerman88 but is it really as simple as you say? Maybe its simple to you because you have the experience and the tools but for other it may not be as easy.

Also try to keep your posts friendly and on-topic (and that goes for both tinnerman88 and The Icon)

That silver/crome color plug I saw at Home Depot. So I konw you can get it at a store such as that. IF that is the same as the one you can get from the dealer I don't know. I would assume the dealer would charge you more though.

I can make anything.If someone needs a piehole plug ,gimme the dimensions and I'll ship it off asap...Yes ,it's galvanized,but the galvanizing is stripped w/muriatic acid for paint.

So did you do this or did your repaint resolve the issue? I forgot to look at it on your pic thread.

I think the best thing to do is to make a kegarator in the back and put a beer tap on to fill the hole

My repaint resolved the issue. I gave the plug to a club member who is getting ready to shave theirs.

Ya know what I think is so funny about this? If the xB didn't come with a rear window wiper, there would be people
on here posting links to aftermarket units that we could buy and instal.
