Default My Box on the Bay (56k may not be happy)

A couple of shots from Treasure Island and Pier 3 in SF:








A little reflective fun here, since this woman stole our slogan for her line of work on her big FUV, I had to slide my Scion plate into the mix. In the drivethru at In & Out:

I used PS to desaturate the parts that weren't important.

now everyone know why we refer to Mark as "Nor*Cal Scions' photographer". If there are ever pics of a Nor*Cal event that you'd like to see, don't look at mine, look at Mark's. He takes really good pics, and has an equally clean ride. I knew I should have kept those Maglites!

Nice shots, fresh box. I'm feeling the black door handles. They're subtle, which is nice.

Your probably the first person to point those out in a pic. They're actually CF overlays and they give a nice thick, kinda 3-D look to the door handles, IMO. Probably one of my favorite mods, + they made Squirrel say the phrase everyone else says when around his ride "Damn, I need those" :D Got those from Paul at allscion.com

Tell us about the signal mirrors. Where from? How much? How big a pain to install?

hehehe, those cost me $30 bucks, they are adhesive backed. I just couldn't see paying $250 or more for the JDM covers which I think look awful on the mirror side - you get a double rim. I got them off eBay, the package says their website is www.pilotautomotive.com, but I can't find them on their site.

They are pretty easy to put on, altho I didn't bend the drivers one enough beforehand and it wants to peel a little. You still have to take the mirrors off and run the wiring. I wrapped the lights to the edge of the mirror housing so the wire was less noticable, also makes them blink more towards the other lanes instead of just in front. Now I just gotta smoke em to match the others...

Thanks to everyone for all the great comments. It's always nice to hear positive feedback. I grew up fixing my own cars, but not fixing them up. This is my first venture into modding. It wasn't intentional, I was just replacing the Echo, whose lease was running out. Little did I know, I was prepping myself to drive a Scion. I built it online, followed a link to Scion World and from there to here at SL. Once I got here, I put dibs on an upper bunk, grabbed a corner barstool and made myself at home. The rest is history...

you know what I was thinking, some nice headlight overlays would just make this box so intense, like a dark overlay to match your tails...

just a thought...but im sure you have already thought about that...

Nice pics, and I like the wheels. Also, where did you run the wires for the signals? (Maybe you said, but I am way too tired to look again to see if I missed that...)
