red and yellow are said to clash.. but all of the yellow cars I see have red running lights and do not look so bad...

The neat thing about xb is that you can -get away with almost any strange thing and the car still looks -cute-. Hard to mess up an xB.

These are from Advance Auto Parts (local chain) and cost about 12 bucks each. Twin blades of graphited natural rubber.

Also demonstrated: that 18" long bladesets look better and fit better than OEM's 20" bladesets.

-If you have uh, neat wipers, show them off here-

even goofs are OK (incl. rear wiper jokes)

 

these are candy red on a chrome (?) plated base. They shine in bright light some plenty good.

It's raining today because Katrina is soaking us in South Florida

 

why'd you take off your regular blades? j/w.

 

the OEM blades on the xB, at least, are all time bombs;
their splines waltz out on the passenger side set, and whip into the paint at the roofline.

previous threads explain all about that risk.

The OEM blades are inexcusable. The steel strips have ruined many paint jobs.

 

 

Speaking of odd colors, how do you like the -$20- Rally brand plastic wheel covers?
They're a snap to stick on and they stay put.
I paint my plastic covers with Krylon Fusion yellow spray paint.
That's a good paint for plastic or any surface, really.
It sticks well and is flexible and wet-sandable, too.

-this thread may belong in drag coefficient moreso than here? If so, please
let it stay here in general for a day or so most folks get to see it- thanks

-Rally covers: These came from the local Advance Auto parts retail store
15" rally part number 9636. They cover the valve stem. Just pop off the cover
to check your air. Don't mess with dangerous valve stem extensions 'cos those things
might flatten your tire.

If you've any other color car you might find a Krylon Fusion color to key or contrast to your color.

Of course, silver goes with all colors.
Red does not.

 

I dunno about the red wiper blades but it's not my vehicle. You should get some fat @$$ yellow rims to go with your xB instead of those covers.

 

yellow blades would be way dope...

 

Whatever blows your skirt up, bro...screams "rice" IMHO, but that's what's cool about living in a free country. Just keep on modding and expressing yourself.

 

you've offically ruined that xb

 

Just a concern about aftermarket wiper blades. Stay away from some of the specials which feature double rubber wiper blades. They can cause too much drag over the windshield thus overloading the wiper motor leading to prermature burnout of the wiper motor. However, yes, also be careful if you are still using the blades that come with the xB. The flat metal spline I have seen popping out of both of our xBs and that of tow other friends' xBs.

 

Goofy colored wipers are a bit too much for me, but I still
love how your digital camera properly represents the Solar
Yellow!

 

My retinas hurt.

 

I like the red on the yellow --- for the record! Now just add some blue tires.

 

Wow! That looks really tacky! On a side note, I have yet to have any trouble with my wipers.

 

My husband has the red Scion steering wheel on his RS2. lol

Plus I have cf wipers on mine! NOT my choice either!!! I hate them!!! But my xB was his first! I HATE THEM!

You need more red tho if you're going yellow and red! JMO!

 

Pepboys?

 

i have the silver razo blades on my tcm they look pretty cool not ricey ay all

 

Now tell us how you really feel about them!

 

I wish I could find the parts needed to convert my wiper set up to JDM style. I think it would make more sense to have the wipers move that way, then the way they do now.
