LOL - I know I'm going to get in trouble for this, but hey, who cares?

What would you have done if she had said she hated it?

Just a quick update on what I have planned.

Black Scion xB w fog lights (almost a must have in this area) and secuirty system.
18 wire rims, gunbolt metal w/ white wall tires
Xgangster body kit
suicide rear doors
lambo front doors
gunbol metal plates around the stereo, gearbox and windows

and a bud of mine found out what I'm thinking about so he bought me a shifter with bullets embeded in it.

  Well, I may have an idea for you, but it'd take a better mind than mine to figure out exactly the parts you would need and at what psi.

The way I'd do it would be to figure out the weight of the rear hatch and figure out how many psi two arms would need to hold up the door in it's up position.  Think of the arms as pistons attached to hinges that pop out when the hatch is unlocked and fold back in to lock the rear once you're done.  Something like a fold out screen for car stereos, only on a larger scale.

The major problems I see with this idea is 1) locking the door back when you're done (maybe a dual bar that when turned one way bolts the door closed, but folds into the door when the key is turned the other way so it will open?) and 2) sealing it shut so the weather doesnt' seep in.

I know, it's after 1 am here adn I'll need to think a little more on it.  I'll try to be more specific later on for you.

Thanks for the welcome folks and thanks for the ideas!

I may have found a kit that will allow me to install a sideboard that will slide under when not in use, now it's time to pull out the books and figure out where I want to wire it up at.  I'm not planning on purchasing my 08 til the Christmas season, but it'll be a great project to work on during the winter when buisness slows down. 

I'm definately looking forward to the grill for the Xgangster, that's going to be a must have for this project.

  I've taken the time to figure out that yes, the xB is what I plan on buying.  While I have disliked the 1st gen model, the 2nd had caught my eye and it took a little time to figure out that it reminds me of the Ford T (1920's model era) that the old time gangsters used to drive, only updated.  Of course, I couldn't leave it alone as is.

  To accomplish a look that more represents this look, I'm looking to do some mods to make it look like an updated version of the T.  One of the first things I plan to do is change the rims to a chrome with white walled tires, Easy enough.  What I'm having a problem figuring out is how to create a running board on each side.

  The following link should show what I'm looking to do without totally destroying the look of the xB.  Anyone have any ideas on how i could pull this off?
