bBsquad does Vegas

The bBsquad strikes again with its highly tuned squad of xB’s, this time in the City of Sin. These pictures were taken by Yogi at hellaflush, all credit goes to him! These just had to be posted. Enjoy the air rides, camber, and unique modifications done to these xB’s.

JDM dimensional wheels from BADX

I was browsing an old Style Wagon Club magazine brought back from Japan and came across an ad for wheels from BADX Japan. Most of the wheels they produce are aimed at sub-compacts/smaller cars and have a dimensional face to them with the use of contrasting colors and depth. The wheel pictured above is the “Turbine”, inspired by, well, a turbine!

Another wheel, the DIVA Double Face, which features different colored spokes for a stealth effect, as shown on a JDM Toyota bB.

The offsets could be a little better, but it still looks good in my book.

japanese bB against 1st gen xB

Found the above image browsing on Japanese seat cover maker Y-Brand’s website and had to enjoy the English translation. But then I got thinking at how cool the Japanese spec bB (xB) is pictured on the right. To me, it seems like more of a big brother to the 1st gen xB than the US spec xB. It has the familiar box shape, but with a little face lift and updated grille/headlights. I have featured the new bB on this blog before talking a little bit about its history. If you had to choose between the Japenese spec bB and the new US spec xB, what would you go with?

The Chronicles… is a great place for clean cars and super photography skills, as shown in these pics. This was a bBsquad shoot from Vegas that came out amazing, as always. The bBsquad is always good for making the next trends for xB owners with their stance and unique JDM modifications. All of the rides in the crew are immaculate, all quality here! Above is user “zerocool” sporting a Kenstyle lip kit and air suspension and a RS 4.0 grille with custom a “TOYOTA” logo.

Another nice xB with widened steelies and two tone paint. I like the aggressive look that the wheels add to the car, especially without breaking the bank on expensive wheels. Also, check out the rear spoiler… Very cool and subtle.

I like the look on this box with leadsled wheels and with the bBsquad standard of suspension, air ride. All of these cars are so slammed, but look the part. Here’s another xB sporting a pretty cool rear spoiler.

Here’s a look that isn’t seen too often on this kind of car. It is very sporty with the brand new Advan RS-D wheels, side mirrors, and lip kit, but also has a roof cargo compartment. It is a practical but aggressive racer look that fits this xB very well.

makeshift kei-car/vanning car show – FUJI D1GP 2009

Props to Dino Dalle Carbonare from Speedhunters.com for snapping these pics of the makeshift vanning/kei-car show held in the parking lot at Fuji Speedway, Japan during the professional D1GP drift event. A lot of interesting styling with these cars, with wheel stance spot on and club-like interiors. I like that this style is so original and the more extreme, the better.

Dajap from ScionLife/ClubxB/Style bB used to have this VIP styled xB with immaculate attention to detail along with the finest JDM parts. “Quality over Quantity” is the motto of Style bB and the owner of this car.

Airbag suspension paired up with the Work Euroline wheels in low offset (+12 in rear!) makes for a great VIP stance. Along with this is the Spirits “Avantgarde” full bodykit, exhaust, and wing. He has done some custom work to the side mirrors as well, mounting LED turn signals from a Mercedes.

Love the whole package on this Club bB member. Stance, aero kit, painted tails — all right on par. Fresh, clean, and slammed.

The grille and Noblesse front bumper flow very nicely with the chrome details. Note the turn signal side mirrors — a nice detail. Can’t go wrong with the flush stance either…

The owner of this bB didn’t concentrate solely on the appearance of his car. A few bolt-ons and a carbon fiber engine cover by C-One completes the whole package.

club bB for me

If I were living in Japan, this would be the car club I would join as a box owner. Club bB is comparable to many of the Scion clubs in America, except with only bB’s (xB’s). Most of the cars are pretty well modified, and it seems that local chapters of Club bB represent it with much pride. Now on to the part that you are waiting for… the pics!

I’m digging this sport tuned bB on Volk Racing CE28N wheels and aero kit. The smoked tails, gas cap, and door trim are cool details.

Here we see another application of side chrome trim on this LED’ed out bB.

Looking at this group pic, two VIP styled bB’s stuck out to me…First off is this Fabulous-kitted bB on what looks to be Work Euroline DH wheels. You have to love the JDM bB headlights!

With a very similar looking one right next to it. Same kit, wheels. Nice!

If you’re going to have a subwoofer box, why not upholster it in Cheetah print?

Couldn’t leave out this impressive interior. That is some definite hard work!

Did a little reminescing today looking at these pics. This is how my 2006 Scion xB sat about 2 years ago. The favorite part of the car has to obviously be the wheels, which are Fabulous Profound wheels, 17×8 +24 in front and 17×9 +24 in rear. It was semi-slammed on HKS Hypermax coilovers – kept higher for daily driving. I wish I still had these laying around, possibly in an attic, or basement, but unfortunately they are not to be found…

This Toyota bB is rocking out! I love the stance of it. The Work Euroline S2H wheels in 17×8.5 +20 front / 17×9 +16 rear are looking amazing, especially when it is lowered on Tein Coilovers. This car is representing Club bB, as shown by the stickers below.

Notice the rear fogs integrated in to the bumper, the lip kit, custom LED tails, and LED side mirrors. The JDM bB’s rear is quite different from the Scion xB, with the license plate relocation and hatch handle.

Just low enough to have the slammed look but with daily driveability kept in mind.

Another modification are the front Recaro luxury seats. Why not?! This bB gets two thumbs up from me!
