Default bB HUBCAPS!!! MUST READ First bB MOD for You!

that is right, bB hubcaps, your stock xB has them already and you don't even know it!

i have recently purchased new hubcaps, (they were on sale and very cheesey (CF hubcaps) and after taking my stocks off, i noticed a bB symbol on the back of it. After further prodding, and prying, i debadged the center "scion" logo which is only sticky taped onto it. and it now reveals a bB Logo!!!!!

So if you are trying to convert your xB into a bB remove those, and you won't ahve to be riding on stocks anymore. I had always planned on debadging everything ( i could care less about bB badges) and noticed how easy and simple this mod was, i searched and didn't come up with any other posts, so i decided to share it with all you bBists out there, or any other cheap/poor modders who want to remove the scion from their xB.

I am planning on chrome spray paint to cover the frosted silver finish, to have a set of Chrome bB Hubs, so i can interchange them from time to time (until i can afford my HPD 17 x 7 chrome Scorp wheels)

*BEWARE** be extra careful when prying, i didn't care cuz i had replacement ones anyways, but you might damage the paint a little (like i did). i recomend using a very small flat head, or dental picks to pry up a corner, and then use something larger to pry up the rest.

the Center sticker is justa thin crappy alumium Scion circle. very flexible and plyable. (if you did want to reuse them somewhere, and you bent it a little don't worry you can smooth it out.)

Have fun with this -Jeremy

Is this the hubcap you're talking about? If it is then this thread is old news. Nonetheless this was a fun mod for me back then.

Lemme guess, you have the "phone dial" hubcaps. Good find, but an old one.
