Happy Birthday! This angry Urban Assault Box left Rosie's on February 8th, the owner's birthday, just in time to make a
contest deadline and make its debut at the AlphaSQUAD
all-club meet on the 9th. Everyone dug the flat metallic green paint, and the box instantly started gathering the attention of other potential sponsors. Look for it in the new Scion United
ad campaign!
Front end mods include aftermarket kit bumper with custom
grille inserts by Rosie's.

SUPER WHITE WASN'T QUITE RIGHT
The Stock xB Before Modifications
|
This stock box is a blank slate, just waiting to be given all the custom touches that separate the cars on the billboards from the traffic driving below them.

IT'S ONLY LOW IN THE DARK SPOTS
This Fiberglass Bumper Got Rated on Surf Watch
|
Before Rosie's could fit this rear bumper to the body, we needed to straighten all the waves and adjust some of the body lines. The stock mounting clips are not fiberglass-friendly, but we were able to install and remove this bumper numerous times with no cracks. The backup light was shaved and patched with fiberglass like the rest of the bumper.

FRONT BUMPER FIASCO
Dramamine and Dividers for this Kit Bumper
|
The front bumper was also very wavy and the body lines were even more off than in the rear. The lower grille cutout had an uneven depth, an easy fix, and will get a custom mesh grille to match the top cutout section. The tow hook holes were shaved, and the fog lights were customized to mount in the holes in the bumper.

BIRTHDAY SUIT BEAUTY
The Only Things Not Stripped Are the Seats
|
Owner Evan assisted Rosie's in taking this box completely apart. The poor UAB looked like a theft recovery with its gutted interior and dash, empty engine compartment, and no doors, hatch, hood, bumpers or fenders. The results are worth it, though, because the door, hatch, and underhood jambs are thoroughly and evenly painted with no oversprayed parts. Only an expert could tell what color this box used to be without seeing the 'before' photos.

CUSTOM INTERIOR DETAILS
Flat Green Interior Pieces Integrate the Theme
|
Every plastic insert and accent that could be removed from the dash and doors was taken apart and painted to match the exterior. The shift plate and insert were two-toned flat black and flat green.

READY FOR BATTLE
Or at Least, More Custom Parts
|
Rear end mods include shaved wiper and squirter, blacked emblem, flat black spoiler, and aftermarket kit bumper with shaved backup light. Upcoming mods include blacked headlights, a bunch of performance and lighting upgrades, and custom camo upholstery.
