Default Scion xB 4x4 Real or FAKE!!!!

check out the link and tell me if this thing is for real

http://www.rankmyride.com/data/4/a/1...4_scion_xb.jpg

it looks real until you look at the driver side window, and see the black strip around it, which makes it fake, also the way the the body sits as oposed to the tire angle. if its a fake then they did a killer job makin it look real. anyways can someone tell me if this is for real or not, and if it is real can someone point in the direction of some better pics of it. i think it would be a killer thing to do to my xB, lol.

In the april/may issue of performance auto and sound on page 134 there is a picture of a silver xB jacked up like this one but It is real , or real enough to be at the dB drag racing world finals . It has scosche stickers on it. Any one seen it? The dB drag was in cleveland.

That one is Fake...... There is a lifted xB that is used for Sound Competitions, but it doesn't run.

Quote for truth. The real one is sponsored by Pioneer, or at least has an owner who loves the brand.

^^^^ True. Anyone with some PhotoShop skills can tell you that this is a Photo Chop. Though this pic is old and the resolution is small (possibly to to make it harder to tell) there are some visible flaws that gave it away....

Not oonly is the mirror shadow (fore ground) facing the wrong way, look under the rear wheel fender. You can see some traces of sort of a fender flare (possibly form a jeep). The driver mirror has been cut on the bottom, plus they added a mirror shadow on the other side but look at the angel of light and shadow. There's no way a mirror shadow would be present.


Here's another image I found, possibly the same box. However look at the reflection at the jeep to your right. Thats a reflection of a silver jeep, if you look closely you can see the rear bumper. Also light and shadow and the angle of the xb does not match up with the chasis below nor the vehicle next to it. Also look at the reflection on the windsheild. I don't see any trees to the left side of the picture, plus how can there bee a reflection of brushes when there a truck parked at the right side of the picture?

Here's a little note: I think that Black jeep to the left was the one they use in the first picture.

Here is the final peice to your puzzle. That xB belongs to Omar ( Ikhonlord ) the president of ScioNRG. I took this pic right off of his cardomain.

So unless Omar did some seriouse mods for this season I would say it is a stolen pic for a photochop.



Also in that side shot did anyone notice the obviouse Jeep gas cap ??
