I've never heard of anyone one with that grill, but it looks good.
For that price I would get it and try it out. Then you can report to
us. I bought my billet top grill from ebay and am very pleased.
I only paid 39 bucks.

Come on be the first be bold.

Default ....Hey Mr. Scion....

Is that grill blocked? Meaning, is it just a false grill, no air flows through? The radiator is below, so air flow through the upper grill would just result in dirt in the engine compartment. I want to keep my engine compartment as clean as I can, so no rain, snow or slop should enter through needless 'Grill" openings. The photo is not good enough to see if the openings are dammed (blocked), are they?

And, Mr. Scion, Where did you get that license plate hole filler plate on your front bumper?
I might like to get one of those.

Sensez, I got my billet grill through ebay (grille 4U), here is one:
Top grill only
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...95123404QQrdZ1

Fitment was nice, had to drill only two small holes in bottom
inside. It is a complete replacement. Only thing it needs is a
wind blocker. The wind whistles through the grill, so I added a
plastic sheet behind it.

Funny thing, that happens to be my xB. The guy took the picture last year at Nesei Week and photo shopped his grill onto my xB. If you look closely, you'll see a Japanese doll in the rear. My xB has tatami mats in the rear and I had a Japanese display at that show.

I sure do! Currently out of stock. New molds are being made to keep up with the demand.

Thanks for your interests.

You should shoot him an email. I'm sure plenty of people with the grill actually on their cars would be happy to contribute.

That is the foths Xb next to me. Besides two tone paint, Dvd set up, rims,
custom interior and drop, he has a dual screen Xbox set up in the back of
his rig.

I believe Foth is a super mod on this site and writes a lot in the NW forum.
Heres a couple more pics of that car from the portland car toys event.

Already did. All he did was photo shop it some more. eBay wasn't much of a help either.

Rigley,

Yeah, I met dave when he drove down last year w/ Brian. And then I saw Dave and Brian at JGTC, and then Dave again at Scion Corp for an event.
