you could've mounted your plate using a bracket instead of drilling straight into the bumper!

Yea, you never know, people like mouting their licenses in different places just to try to separate from the crowd or maybe they like it that way.

Looks very clean, cannot wait to see what you do with it. I didnt like the PW ones at first, but its growing on me. It looks very tall in the first picture... just reminds me I need to drop mine soon!

I would have LOVED to have done that on my Xb... but the dealer did it for me. Probably part of the PDI. Thanks a$$hats! :D

Just the front corners, or all the way around? Thinking about doing that to my yellow box, although the orange lights/yellow paint contrast isnt really all bad. Might look too washed out with all white corners

In October 2004, when I bought the box, I did not know about ScionLife.com. If I had, I might have used the bolts to secure my plate through the honeycomb vents. I only found out about ScionLife.com in February 2005 so I lost the opertunity for the cleanest install. Dealers should alert buyers to this vast wealth of knowledge and ideas as a fringe benifit of ownership.
I like my amber turn signals, they are really bright and noticable. The headlights also are great, bright and focused. I would need to see projectors in use to evaluate the differance. I did swap out the tail lights as I found them to be plain and from the 1980's when I saw differant ones on this site.
Thanks for the input, more to come....

The week before I bought mine, my girlfriend bought a Corolla, right next door to the Scion dealership. I went over there and talked to the sales manager for a bit, and he did mention scionlife, said it was a great spot for any sort of Scion information. I bought my xB the next weekend, but had been here all week looking through posts, so I had a good idea of what I was getting into.

I also just had taillights installed, the TYC ones. Looks pretty sweet! I wish I knew someone close that had projectors as well, looks ok in pics, but would love some hands on.

I got wrapped up for a road trip. This worked well.

Painter's tape and celaphane work as a bug sheild. Clean up is a snap!
