Default What would xB owners like to see

hey yall, not sure where this post should be placed, but over the last couple of months i have teamed up with craven speed, trying to design more products for the xB, i am in the process of fitting a new fuel rail design to the xB, im pretty sure that perrin is the only one out there now..

my question to all xB owners, is what products would you like to see?

cravenspeed notified me that they would be able to create plastic and metal pieces, one off or not for the xB..

right off the bat, i am thinking of tailight garnish, new style engine cover, ect..

anything any other xB owner would like to see..

i am going to find out if it is large pieces such as bodykits, and along that line.. feel free to post anything you would like to see made for the xB..

no plastic pieces of toast, and no large electric cords that attach to our exhausts..
i am very serious and am in need of new ideas for products to create for our scions...

thanksin advance for any suggestions

Give us a sunshade/visor that extends and actually covers more than 1/3 of the stupid window. since it only blocks the sun from hitting your hands on the steering wheel.

New intake manifold.... MMW had one in the works a while back.... looked awesome but the #'s weren't there.

Anything would look better than the stock one.

I've taken a look at Craven Speed's website. And it would probably make the most sense to have them build parts for our car that are similar to what they offer for other cars. That being said, a lightweight crank pulley is the obvious suggestion. Nothing crazy and overdriven. Just a lightweight pulley similar to what Perrin and Agency Power offer. It never hurts the consumer to have more competition in the market.

I really don't see their xB offerings expanding much further than that. Considering what they have currently for other cars. (Assuming they are already planning the fuel rail you mentioned.)

Here's one I'd love to see -- lip to fit the US XB that looks like the original JDM BB lip.

I want both the front and rear. Then I'd remove the side skirts, maybe some plugs for those holes. I've wanted that for a LONG TIME. Gotta love it!

WOW! This is exactly what I've been thinking for months! An old-style windshield visor that extends about, oh, I don't know, about 5 or 6 inches off the roofline out over the windshield. It's the "one more thing" I would do to the car.

I suppose you would have to have some kind of gap betwwen the roofline and the visor to cut down on wind resistance. But nothing "modern" like you see on small pick-ups and the like. (Like this:
)

But something more like this:


or these:

But I'm thinking paintable to match the color of the xB. (Or already painted!?)

Like this (no chrome please):
