Default xB FOR BUSINESS

What up peeps?

I'm interested to know who is using thier xB for business. If so, what type of business? Also if you have pics of you business mods done to your xB please post(ie Wraps, Rack systems, lettering,etc). I use my vehicle as a street team vehicle for my other business. And you? Thanks in advance . . .

P.S. Any flower shops, messenger services, handy man, cleaning serivces and more utilizing an xB out there?

I use mine for my photography business. With the seats down, the xB holds an amazing amount of "stuff"... I bought the Blue Onyx Pearl so the white lettering would really show up, but on the advice of other photographers in the area, I didn't put extensive lettering on the car. Creeps see the lettering & break in looking for cameras... even when the car is obviously empty... Happened to a bunch of folks, so I only put 1 small web site decal across the top of the back window.

But, when I'm at a wedding, or other shoot, the car really draws attention... great for business!

It seems as if the Scion xB is great for business. I'm wondering if anyone has set up a rack system, and/or converted it to a commercial type vehicle. I need some ideas for a customer. Maybe a Scion xB as a Taxi. COOL

I bought my PW xB for my Handyman business when I retire next year, after spending
32 years as a Medical Technologist for the government. Some people call their xB's
toasters or refrigerators etc., but mine is my "Toolbox". I was also wondering about
a ladder rack on the roof. I believe the xB will make a great rolling billboard with the
attention it draws. I could only get more stares if I was driving the Oscar Meyer
Weinermobile!

We are looking into getting a xB or tC, but it will be for business. We sell and install paint/headlight protection film to prevent rock chip damage to the front of vehicles for all types of vehicles.

Here is a sneak of what ours will look like

I am a field tech for a major nation wide business machine dealer. I am required to carry a boatload of parts my tools a vaccum laptop cleaning supplies etc...

my system is pretty simple, i fold forward the rear seats and use 2x 36 gallon rubbermaid storage bins to hold my parts tools and laptop, for my larger parts drumunits and assemblies i put on the floor behind the front seats. It works really well and holds everything i need and has the capacity for even more, but to be honest i do miss my back seats...
