I think that bike next to your xB is making me nervous!!
Too plain for me. the way I look at the badges it this- I paid good money for the car, and I am proud of owning a scion....
good job though.....

....Dark, clean look...
How high is your celing? Bikes store well out of the way when hung upside down with self threading bike hooks. They can cost 1-3 dollars and are secure when screwed into headers in the celing. You de-badged, now un-klutter.
Tail lights look great on that color box.

Check this thread, second page, for a pic.
If you want one, pm neneago, it'll be close to $20

"Tools" I used....
1. Hair Dryer
2. Dental Floss
3. Isopropol Alcohol (91% Rubbing Alcohol)
4. SOFT Rag/Cloth
5. Elbow Grease, Finger Tips, and Patience
6. A Good Car Washing Afterwards!
I followed the exact steps from the post Max linked. The adhesive remover I used was the rubbing alcohol. Using this, however, I did have to hand pick most of the adhesive off. (I do NOT have long fingernails, my finger tips did not scratch my paint)
I removed the residule adhesive with the alcohol.
Afterwards, I washed my baby down, and that was that! I was going to wax it today as well, but my wax has gone a miss, and I didn't have time to get any today. But I do reccomend a good wax after this process.
