I just picked up my 2008 xB last week and spent the last few days installing essentials, but I'm not having much luck locating mudguards and sillguards for it. Yes, I know Scion illuminated sillguards are available for the front, but I don't really want to spend $156 for sill guards -- seems a tad excessive to me as I'm not interested in the illumination.

I notice the new Corolla Rumion (2008 xB cousin) introduced last month in Japan includes a mudguard option -- so I expect they can be obtained somewhow.

Any ideas?

 

Congrat's on the new xB.

Here's a DIY for installing the mudguards:

TRD Japan Rumion sills

both are JDM so it takes time and money

 

Fantastic -- Thanks guys !

I know this is really reaching, but if somebody knows of a Carson Toyota discount code that could trim back the combined $470 price tag, that would be awfully nice !

 

Did ya notice how much those sill guards are??? Almost 300$..

Now do you really want to pay almost DOUBLE for NON-illuminated ones?? If money & illumintion are the issue.s... I'd suggest that you purchase the 155$ ones & DO NOT hook up the wires for the lights! Problems solved...
Good luck with your search for stuff!! let us know what you go with& if you cob any discounts anywheres.. thanks.. jh

 

^^ Limitation being I'm looking for sill guards for ALL FOUR doors, not just the front !

But yes, they certainly don't seem to be as good a value as the guards (which probably require a lot more installation effort), but I suppose that's due to a combination of stainless steel and the TRD moniker !

 

You're right! My bad.. all 4 doors!!! I didnt see that.. well good luck! jh

 

no no the rumion ones are for all four doors. i know that he was looking for some cheap ones but there arent any out there right now! i want some non-illuminated scion ones too but apparently scion thinks they know better....

Well, I responded to his PM, and again a couple weeks later, but haven't heard a thing in response ???
