photochop white w/ white A-pillar
#3
I use GIMP on my Macbook. I think Toyota wants the impression that the side windows is one large window. It's probably more efficient to paint the entire car including the pillars then add the tape vs. creating mfg. tooling to keep the pillars from being painted.

The whole black tape thing is by no means exclusive to Toyota/Scion. My old Mazda Protege from 2003 had it, as does my Father in Law's Pt Cruiser. It's a common enough trick. I don't actually think it looks bad. Especially on light colored cars. The White looks kinda fugly without the tape IMHO.
Edit: Missed the bit about the A pillars. I was talking about the doors, not the A pillars

Toronado, just was thinking about the pockets on the rear sides, where the 1st Gen xB quarter glass was, because they seem large enough to handle a 6x9 speaker. Just wondering.. is this something that would be usable if enclosure fabricated to fit? Maybe angle forward or back, maybe 6" or 8" subs.....
