i put the decals on the bottom, to rep the akscionclub, plus i have never seen it done before on the scion box, so i think it gives it a unique look. thanks for the comment!

I would have thought in AK with the snow and all that you would have jacked it up high and have big knobby tires on it. but . . . looks great . . . how are those mags held on - I don't see any lug nuts.

Pretty darn nice...
BTW, I'd lose the graphics on the side skirts, that's just me...

Reppin' the team is cool... But I'd lose the big SCION sticker.

And shave the badges.

Other than that, it looks good.

Overall its fine, just lose the 3" catback. Your box must be slower than slow with that exhaust. Even some turbo cars dont run 3" exhausts because its not necessary and actually makes them lose power rather than gain...

Nice!
Love the wheels - great stance, though the tires don't look quite wide enough for the width of the rims, and seem a bit too short on sidewall.
I'm not a fan of graphics either (but hey, I'm old! ), but I like the lettering on the skirts better than that billboard SCION on the windshield.
As we say in the vintage car community, though - "It's YOUR car, do whatever YOU like!"

you asked - I'm not a fan of the vinyl. makes it look cheap and cobbled together. the stuff on the side skirts makes the car look higher than it is.

in person it looks like it is almost on the ground, maybe its just the angles of the pics, or something.

the tires and rims are the right size for each other, i dont have much side wall on them, its really small, it the series tires i have, they are a street racing tire. plus the roads in alaska suck, so it eats the crap out of your tires.

i personally like the stickers, cause i have had them off, if you look at my pics under my profile you can see. to me it just looks bare. i like things that will grab your attention. and belive me, its a head turner!

THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS
