Default Small xB Help!

Hey Guys, my name is Jo, Im pretty new to this forum. I drive a 2008 scion xB Release Series 5. My mods so far are Tenzo R CAI, TRD knockoff exhaust, HID's, and tint. I was wondering if you all knew about peeling off the black sticker off my front pillar's, and how easy it would be.
Second I want to paint my front bumper that flat black that many people do on there xB's. Did you all paint them yourselves? or professionally painted?

Thanks Jo

First- welcome.

Secondly, you will get a lot of great information on this site, but make sure you use the search feature.

Front bumper can be done with paint or vinyl

The A Pillar tape is easy to remove. If you can leave the vehicle outside in the sun and heat up the tape, removal will be easy. Not sure what the weather is like in your area.

Just as a word of advice, if you're thinking of peeling those A-pillars and painting or using Bat's Bumper Overlay on your front bumper, I'd suggest DON'T peel your pillars.

I peeled mine, but now I'm thinking of doing the front bumper. I wish I left them on in the first place so that they would flow together better.

The pillar tape removal only looks good on white Xb's.
