I contacted GrillCraft to see if/when we could expect grilles for the '08 xB. This is their response: Yes we will be releasing a upper and lower grille for the 2008 Scion XB
release date is about 1-2 months out, once this releases we will have this
up on our web site. |

that looks great! I'm not sure it would look very good on the NBM though...

Do the GrillCraft grills replace the stock grills entirely?? Also-anyone know how difficult the install is?

I believe they're designed to cover the stock grilles, but I've seen instructions on replacing the grilles on the tC - nothing for the xB so far...

the grille i mentioned above is called a 'Direct replacement for OEM grille' but i am not sure if it includes the lower piece... the grillcraft replacemenst look real nice - here is a closeup shot:  looks like they have the side vent pieces too!  |

Yeah...on the GrillCraft site you can now purchase the upper only, lower only or lower 3 piece set.
Their FAQ's stated that all the grills (except for some Toyota trucks) are bolt on and do not require drilling...so I would assume that they are replacements for the grill.
Maybe I'll just shoot them an e-mail!

here is Grillcraft's response: Thank You for your interest in GrillCraft grilles! If you want the lower three piece the part number is TOY1853, and the upper grille is TOY1852. Here is a link for this vehicle. http://www.grillcraft.com/applications/2008_Scion_XB.aspx/1|6/682/[links for top piece and lower grill alone are near top of page] it looks like the top piece is sold separately from the bottom 3 piece set - $378.15 for both sets w/ shiiping & tax to California |

It looks like I was incorrect in my prior post about the grilles covering the stock ones... looking at the installation instructions, I see that you need to cut apart the stock grills to provide a frame for the grillcraft grilles to mount onto... The side vent grilles are covers - you do need to drill into the stock faux grilles for those.

It really does look sweet... it's just hard to justify 400 dollars on a grille....  |
