Hey everyone. I've been playing around with an idea for a while that i haven't seen anyone do yet. How do you think a chopped xB would look? Im talking taking a good 5 or 6 inches off the roof like an old school hot rod. Does anyone think they can photoshop a picture of my car chopped? It would be really awesome to see it before i spend G's and find out it looks weird. Here are a few pics to work from. Thanks

I will say this. It's super cost-prohibitive to do.
I personally don't think it looks right.

Here's the 5Axis one... that's chopped.

thanks for finding that pic, i've never seen it before. Although i agree it doesnt look quite right, I think it would look better on a more stock looking xB and im going for the "different" look so the chopping still interests me.

You might have problems with the back window on the hatch if you do decide to do it.

One guy on here did a chop, but left the back window full height, so it looks like more of a slope than a chop.
People said he did it because of the back glass, but I dunno.

I think it would look sick if done right.
You need some kind of body or lip kit too.

Hmmm, I don't know about that! You can't call it a "Box" anymore, it'll be a "Rectangle"...

if you were slammed it would make a bit more sense

definitely do it. but be prepared to spend alot of G's. think of all the custom everything you will need.

id throw a baby at you if you pulled it off. i really like the orange 5 axis one featured earlier, or like the HAKU or whatever concept it was. Just make sure you're willing to pay, i really dont think its going to be cheap at ALL. let us know how much!

greenwo0d

as of right now there is nothing in the works. i feel my money would be better invested in an air set-up.

snowromance

can someone list everything custom that will need to be created for a chopped b?

Reciprocating Saw.

New Glass

New Sheetmetal

Welding Machine

Bondo

You MIGHT be able to cut down your inside pillars to fit, but you might have to fab new ones too

Probably have to build new supports, brackets and raisers for the hatch
