idk, seems like alot of the same. i thought CF was so last two years. we need some ground breaking stuff. better lighting( fogs, tails, those little LED reflectors, headlights, better looking lip kits and bodykits, blade style hatch wing, etc.)

Already sent them an email listing some of the common/interesting things; plus I've linked them to both the Scionlife, and this thread as well, so they're on top of everything. I had an idea, perhaps instead of 2 sets of fogs (just in the interest of a universal product for any xD) perhaps a set that can plug into the "fog area' on the regular bumper, and possibly, with small modification, fit into the lower grill?

Parts........
 
Man, How about some high flow cats installed on a downpipe we can buy, or even catless down pipes (testpipes) :gathering:

That could work, same fog light just different casing/surround for them to fit in either the "fog" area or the grill.

Don't even get me started on test pipes, because I'll splode if you're serious :P

high flow cats are generally universal, so get your fill there ;)

We'll definitely discuss fog light options when they start development for the xD's; I know there's a tC heading down there today to start generating, if not ideas, some base products, cause I think he's leaving his car there for a while. I'll update on what goes on so we can either get some more ideas for us, as well as see how PWJDM is catering to that fifth of the scion crowd.

Also, there was some talk of a CF/other replacement for the upper piece on the trunk (where our rear Scion/Toyota badge is placed); if you haven't noticed already, it appears fairly easy to pop off once tackling it from the interior of the hatch door;

any interest in this?

Yes I am interested, would look good having a little CF in the back. any way you can push an xD into the HQ next? LOL Damn tC owners get everything first.... I believe I should now go; waaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, wwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rofl yeah...I'm definitely trying to get the xD in...I notified them that I'm available to drop off the car whenever they're ready for it so...it's up to them when they're going to start working on the xD's. I'm just waiting on the call/email/PM ;)

To keep things up to date from SL to SxDF, xDkidd brought up the possibility of an Ram Air Duct, so let's start gauging interest on this piece as well! It's evident that it won't fit at all in the upper grill, and the lower grill is pretty questionable for such a large piece, so this would have to fit into the "fog lights" area on the sides of the bumper.

TheLittleDeviant 10-22-2009 01:57 PM

Only issue with using the fog light hole is that you can't have the fog and the ram air... but why not use the upper grill and have it go to the intake stream.

trdxd 10-22-2009 02:03 PM

area behind the front grill is completely filled with radiator/upper support/horn assembly. I was trying to feel around it, and if we were to come up with something to stuff the ram air duct into, it would just be inefficient due to a need to create a very small diameter piping until it gets past all the aforementioned parts. Agreed, that it is unfortunate for those who want both fogs and the duct :\ it's pretty much a trade off between the two; which is more important to you, etc.

TheLittleDeviant 10-22-2009 02:08 PM

I'll pull my front bumper to check but I think there is enough room on the driver side of the grill to go from there to under the headlight...

WAIT!?

Ha!, just as I was reading this, I thought about this. I run the car without the panel sometimes. THAT would sell well

;) i like your thinking!! perhaps since the xD's spots aren't open the fogs can be split equally between a top and bottom, and the ram duct can go in the top half of it? (since that's the widest section?)

good thinkin!

Top and bottom is what I was thinking too.

trdxd 10-22-2009 05:43 PM

muahaha perfect; so PWJDM took in their first car today, a tC, but no word yet on what they've planned for it...I'll keep everyone up to date as much as possible on what theyre planning for our brethren platforms.

TheLittleDeviant 10-22-2009 05:49 PM

^^^ Yes definately, it will give us a good idea of what we will be getting.

JDMJim 10-22-2009 05:56 PM

meh, tC gets picked first....
