Default any items not made for scion that you would like?

Not sure if this is allowed or ok..were going to become a sponsor on this forum real soon.. in the mean time we are trying to get a better view on what kind of things scion owners would like to see made in the future.


PasswordJDM has been around for a while. we make a quality carbon and steel products all made in the USA. We primarily cater to the honda families, but have ventured into the high end markets as well. We thought we could do something for the Scion community as well.

we currently have a few things ready like shift ***** and tow hooks but we want something a little more custom for the scions. We thing scions are pretty rad.. 2 of us actually have scions here at PWJDM. we can think of a handful of things to put on our cars.. just want to hear what you guys would like too!

Real carbon fiber bits for the interior. Not overlays or stickers, but CF pieces.

I don't see how this would be violating any rules, since it's just a suggestion thread, it's not like you're trying to sell anything.
With that said, you might want to have this moved to the tC forums since you'll get more hits and responses on that side.

I'd like to see cool tow hook pictures if you have any available....just to get an idea of what's out there.

GL and keep us posted.

I'd like more use of of the compartment above my glovebox.
Maybe build something along the lines of the VIP table that's out there... more affordable, and more useful?

Carbon Fiber pillars, A, B, and C pillars. Specially the C pillars with the cubby hole delete!

Carbon Fiber headliner for all models including the RS5, but I know that'll prob be impossible since there used to be only 2500 of us, but I know it's less now.

Shift boots

Carbon Fiber and aluminum caps under the hood. ie, Oil cap, brake fluid cap, etc.

Carbon Fiber door handles

Ummmm, bout all I can think about right now.

I'm personally not into carbon fiber really, but whatever floats everyone's boats. I'm more into the VIP styling.
As far as parts, first on my list are camber shims. Not something that I currently need, but I know of a list of people waiting for something to come out. With the 'hellaflush' trend at it's peak, there's a lot of low offset xB2 guys that want to start doing work.
I know a lot of people aren't too particularly happy about the arm rest. Something that may take the place of the OEM lid that's slightly taller with some padding (or even carbon fiber for those cats).
Strut brace would be cool. The Tanabe piece is nice and all, but I personally want something that looks a little more beefy. Like the older JIC Magic piece for the 1st gen xB/bB. It's aluminum construction, polished, beefy, cream filling, glitter... Mmmm...
Maybe a CAI. There's a few out right now, but I'm sure some people would be stoked to see a carbon fiber/kevlar setup.
OOOH! I noticed you have dry carbon radiator cooling plates... I know it wouldn't do much with the xB2, but maybe a piece that gets rid of the flimsy OEM plate that runs from the grille to the radiator support? Maybe even a full setup that's an integrated grille/radiator cooling plate.
I think an aluminum support that runs side to side, in the back where the absolutely worthless cubbies are, would be cool. From factory, there's threaded bosses for the optional nets. But I think something that's a little more flashy and aesthetically pleasing would be cool.

I should start charging for ideas... I got more. I'm kind of on a roll, but this is probably a bit right now.

not sure what your limits are but what if you could have full "wood grain" looking replacements or snap on type fitments for almost everything. something like this but for xb2

I would love a carbon hood for the 2011 xB and also the stock style spoiler in carbon fiber. A nice ball-style shift **** in carbon would be awesome as well as possibly door sills.

Thanks for taking an interest and I hope to see some cool stuff soon!
