Default xB2 Front Grill Replacement Badge Transformers Autobot

Had some spare time and wanted to do something different on the front of our xB2 grills...we have a few Scion fanatics in our circle of friends...

We water-jetted them from T6061 Brushed Aluminum...and it bolts over the stock badge location...there is an oval piece that covers the entire back area and doubles as a washer for the stainless hexbolts...so these pieces basically sandwich the existing grill...

The one pictured (not Transformers related at all) has the oval section cut-out...

And the Transformers Autobot one was done tonight as a test...I will be switching to this version for some pics...and we hope to have the Decepticon version tomorrow evening...

Our immediate thoughts are to perhaps have them anodized different colors...or keep them polished...

Thanks dude =)

We may be able to custom versions later...for now we were planning on doing a small run of these...perhaps offering the extra ones to the scion public...

I think a Scion version with the name cutout similar to the Autobot version would be sweet...

With the Hex bolts replacement and swapping is fairly simple...

As I mentioned in the tC thread, if you want to sell these here on the forums, you'll need to become a site sponsor.

LoL...definitely looking into the site sponsorship details...not entirely sure what it takes or does...since I am not a business...I am sure the mods will LMK very quickly =)

I will not lie the thought did cross our minds to be able to make a few of these...If I did these I was not really looking into making a ton available just enough to offset costs for our vehicles...the materials, water-jetting, and these do take some time to do...

In the meantime at least people can see another custom option for our grills =)
