Ha I didnt even notice that good eye eviljack.

Yanges, what do you think of the woody?

Pretty much Tartan and I are on the same page as how we feel the woody should look. So listen to the Jack's hehe.

As far as wood on the tailgate. Thats an idivdual preferance. Since some cars had it and some didn't.

Plus if you look at the scionpro kit it has the same coloring as in the photo that tartan posted. The other one is just too dark and pinstripy

Not sure how the "hat" would look. The removal of the spoiler sounds good, but your gonna have to cover up the holes or plug them somehow. I would agree though that if I was doing a woody I would totally do without the spoiler.

Oh and check these out.

are these wheels painted stock steelies?



they look pretty good!

They are painted steelies.  I'm not sure about the lugs (no enough detail) or the center cap.  The "spider" caps I've seen look more chrome and tall (perpendicular to wheel face).

Here are the completely stock post 09 xB stock steelies, EXACTLY as they are under the plastic hub caps:
Front:

Note the need for a non-flat front cap.  If I (or someone else) can find a "pop-in" type center that fits, I would be ecstatic!

Rear:

Note: the center is completely empty, so whatever fits the front will fit this.

Also, those are the plain, basic lugs from Scion-> nothing extra.  They are already silver on silver lugs.

Here is a more distance shot:


So, for stock steelies, that is our starting point.


Now, for the woody kit . . .
Idea:
i don't see why a flat front piece couldn't be put on the FRONT side of the front door/fender edge (literally on the very trailing edge of the fender).  So, the door cover is dark, while the door seam is the "border" between the light and dark wood.  A natural visual line and no door clearance issues.  the same could be done for the rear doors too.  Then, there would be four (total) vertical light "wood" slats (rear of front fender, rear of front door, rear of rear door and rear of c-pillar/body side of rear hatch seam.

I like that drawing, WaveRider.
That would resemble the 50 Ford Woody more than any kits I've seen.

good sketch WaveRider!

that is lookin' good!  just gotta find the right wood grain color and that will look pretty cool!! 

So . . .
Pass on this discussion.  It might improve the kit even more (or provide additional options and/or variations for the basic kit).

Aside:
So far, the Scion-world reminds me more of the Miata-world than I would have expected!
(That is a compliment.)
