Default Just bought my 2nd xb

Hey guys I just wanted everyone to know that after 2 years of driving my blakbox I've decided to buy a salsa red box.... I thought about just getting rid of my box and getting a truck but I could'nt find anything with as much room or gas milelage or price for that matter that made me want to switch.....So I guess it's scionlife for ever for me.....I love the box soo much I had to buy another.....It's just back to the drawing board for me....I got a whole new canvas to work with....Now it's just what do I want to do this time a round is the question.......Any ideas out there??????? Just another satisfied scion xb owner

In Japan it is called an Open Deck. Here is a past thread showing someone who has made a pickup--(it is a custom job and not the OD)

I am expecting my SRP xB any day, and I was thinking of some white wheels for it. I think it really stands out well.

Any pics? We've got a SRP on order, but the colour may not be *red* enough for my wife who will be driving it ... we're hoping it's redder than we're thinking!

Yeah, we know it's not fire engine red, or as red as this page, but we're hoping it's not a dark burgundy colour ... some pictures show it much brighter than others

I have had the same experience while waiting for mine. I look for as many pictures of SRP as I can. It seems though that very few people have bought the SRP. All the pictures that I find seem very different. I am still waiting of course but when I do get it, I will post up some pics.

I had an SRP owner follow me home today to compliment me on my RS 3. The color is beautiful, especially when it's as clean as hers was. Deffinatly a nice color.

In lower light it almost looks like BCP, but in the sunlight it glows quite nicely. You'll love it.
