Scionpro.com's Dare 2B Different Motorwerks LLC, is proud to announce the production of the Gangster Body kit for the Gen 2 xB. This kit is in prototype now and will be released in phases. Phase one includes the rear upper spoiler , mid spoiler, and front visor. Phase two will be the side skirts without exhaust ports. These will be available for retail in three-four weeks/wholesale inquiries welcome. The rear and then the front will be introduced in Jan 08.

 

Oh wow...

 

so is that exhaust coming out of the side skirts?

 

lookin good.

 

oh, and uhm...where is the reverse light?

 

Yes that is the intention. As soon as I get the skirts back I will mount them and create the exhaust exiting to each side. There will also be a rear dual exhaust as well or potentially a down swept dual pipe exhaust. There are a lot of options with this design.

 

Ummm... not a fan! Sorry... I'm entitled to my opinion right?

 

The reverse light is still on the table it may be the v shaped one or we may go with two tear drop 40"s vintage style led lights on each side. What do you prefer? I am taking ideas on the rear for now. Everything else is set and under production.

 

Everyone has a right to their opinion. Your post is respectfully understood and respected. Thank you.

 

hmm i like the look of it from the side, but theres somethin about the front and rear that makes it look like its trying to be something its not. its like your taking the front end of an older car and "converge" it to the xB kinda like but not as horrifying as putting is300 headlights on an integra... but i love the mid wing, and the sides, those wheels are killer too. and the top wing isnt bad. so keep those ideas. but redesign the front and rear. idk if this will be a big hit the way it is now.

 

You kinda hit it on the head. The design is retro in concept but also modern/progressive. A 67 year old friend of mine said it was 40's Gangster meets 21st century hip hop...a good analogy? The kit is offered in stages so if your are not liking the front and rear no problem. The three piece spoiler kit will complement a variety of other kits out there or stand well on its own. By three piece I mean the front visor, mid spoiler and upper spoiler. All will be OEM quality and will be able to be installed by the do it your -selfer....no drilling. The skirts will be available without exhaust ports initially until the exhaust is fitted.

 

wow.....
before even looking at the kit I didnt like the name "Gangster"
Side Skirts....holes
never really been a fan of mid-wings
top spoiler is alright
bottom part of rear bumper angles out too much
the front.... no way

the only thing i do kinda like is the front baseball-cap-looking spoiler thing

 

I still can't gather words about how I feel about this kit...

 

all right tmoore! i know you from the jet!! your illustrator skills are great! kit is too much steeze for me but i am interested in the upper wing...

 

I love that you are taking the xB kit concept in a new direction... but I agree the front needs work, it's way too PTCruiser-aftermarket-ish. Some of it may just be the simplicity of that drawing, the rear quarter 3D one looks much more like the real deal.
I love the way the fenders resolve into the rear bumper, and the skirts and wings are interesting. If the front can be made to have the same character as the rest I think it will be amazing- just find the ideal grille design, and make sure it's well integrated and not tacked-on.

 

man, that is the coolest kit i have seen in a long time! too bad i do not own an '08!

 

I would add steps on the sides
then i would be a buyer

lets not copy the pt crap

 

I think it needs a gold t.v. antenna on top... then I'd buy it.

 

THATS WAHT I SAW IN THAT! PT-Cruiser! thanks that was ____in me off too

 

Yep Thats exactly what it looks like.
PT Cruiser, they seel after market
kits that look a whole lot like that
