XBFRED, just noticed your avatar, and was wondering if you have some profile pics of your ride with those rims.

appreciated.

Tonight, just out of curiosity, I took out the plastic trim that XBFred has a problem with. It seems like a sturdy piece that should not warp. The only thing that may have gone wrong is that there are clips behind the piece that may not have clipped in and the pressure of the clip being in the wrong place forced it to warp. Just FYI

Raiden - https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=175321

Malibu - I would agree, seemed more like when you put a shirt on with the button on the wrong hole. Not really a big deal, but I would rather take it in than try and fix myself sine it is so new and under warranty.

I didn't know about that distinction between TSBs and Recalls. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I also found out on my Honda Ridgline that sometimes you have to talk them into doing TSB's

It would be if it warped so much you can't see how fast you're going.

Hopefully you fix it on time that it won't happen Fred

As far as people seeing the xB2 being a piece of poo poo, remember they're family, you may not like your mean brother or sisters, but it should be unconditional love since we are all family. And I said that in a "relax" kind of way.

Nuggies maybe Pink bellies? Definitely a heck no. I don't even know what that is. But the only person that is allowed in that area is my fiance.


Now back to your problem "brother".

Yeah, sorry for the side track..

I am going to drop it off Monday


BTW- Pink belly is where they hold you down and open handed slap your stomach until it turns red and really hurts

Considering it, but a couple things keep me from doing it.
1. Cost
2. Height - I just got out of a truck and have rubbed the front end a few times, would hate to get a body kit just to ruin it
3. other priorities

ok, I took it in tonight and they popped the dash back up, but said they needed to order me a new piece. Said they have no idea how long it would take

Now for the bad part. I think they scratched my car all up. They washed it for the first time and when I got home it looks like it has swirl marks all over the place. I will look in the sun tomorrow and if there is I will probably contact them and get them to detail it.

I always turn down the dealership washes - it's just not worth it to me to take the chance.

Glad they are getting your minor dash problem straightened 'round. Let us know when all is well.

I agree with tomas. I never get the dealer to wash my car. They do not wash them by hand, they usually have an auto washer that is not "touchless".

I would definately have them buff the swirls out

Just got a call from my dealer. They are going to have it detailed, totally apologized and offered free tank of gas.

I gotta tell you, I am more and more impressed with Tustin Toyota. Great service, everyones nice and really easy deal.
