My mom just purchased a new xB last weekend ( Blackberry Crush) and I saw how randy peeled the tape off of the windows and A- pillar, which looks awesome btw. How exactly do you take this off? and will I need any goo remover for it ?

thanks in advance

Just peeled it off our new '08 Xb and love it. I was wondering just the other day why Scion would have blacked all that out the other day, then my husband brought home this post. Not smart enough to have thought of that. Awesome look. Thanks so much. Was tough getting the tape out from under all the window trim. Looks like it was wrapped before the window trim was installed.

heres pics of super white minus tape..... I like it a lot but at the same time i liked the tape..... to me the tape made it look sleek i guess, as if the roof was only being held up by the back, without the tape i think it looks more boxy.... let me know that you think

JMO but I think the XB2 looks best with the tape peeled off the A-pillar but left on the windows.

after seeing pics of just the a-pillar, and all of it peeled (on Super White) and knowing that I'm going to be wrapping my front bumper in the same flat black vinyl, I will be leaving it un-peeled

HOWEVER!

I like the a-pillars done if you're not doing the front wrap, and I do not like the entire windows done at all, too many lines without the vinyl

Nice on the darker ones though!

And nice budge-mods rando

Dude you gotta be kidding me...I just bought my xB and I was thinking of peeling that tape off too...lol...Hey I've been trying to change out the bulbs in my sidemarkers but can't figure out how to get the cap off you know anything about that. By the way my boy just hooked me up with 6000K HID, they look great you gotta get some and also change out the front turn signals for blue ones too it gives it a more clean subtle look. I like your idea for modding without spending a whole lot. Keep me posted when you have other ideas we think alike. When you got 3 kids to feed, money is tight...LOL hit me up if you on myspace too www.myspace.com/lj1977
