Just finished in time for the Motor Trend First Hawaiian International Auto Show. Forjworks and Eight08customs collaborated and built this killer 2008 Scion XB.
Thinking outside of the box doing something different with the right stance and fitment with just enough POK’E. What makes or breaks a build is the wheels, offsets and again stance.
Forjworks also has its prototype Mafia Series Grille, Tail light covers and Eyelids all installed.
We hope 2010 is going well for everyone. Its being a very busy year for us here are Eight08customs. Sense teaming up with Forjworks, allot of ideas have taken shape into some quality products. With the successful launch of the Mafia Series line with the XB and XD eyelids, this year 2010 has been rolling along with many new products from Forjworks that was unveiled at the Pure ExpreScion 5 Showoff. The XB Bonnet Spoiler, JDM Styled Taillight Covers and a new version of the eyelids “Half-Lids” has been designed and just about ready for retail.
Recently we test fitted the 5.5 Camber shims for the Gen 1 XB. This shim combines it all on one giving a 5 Deg. Camber with a 5mm spacer to kick the wheel back out to compensate the top of the tire leaning further in the fender well. If your interested in a set more info can be found on http://ecocarcustoms.com/Topic122-62-1.aspx
We also have teamed up with a new forum www.ecocarcustoms.comthis site truly is for the new fad that been growing in the automotive industry. Cars that are greener, easy on gas, Hybrid, or what they call K Cars in Japan. Check it out!
Eight08customs is now a distributor for Forjworks.
You can now place your orders directly through us for the Mafia Series XD Eyelids.
Just 94.95 plus 50.00 for color Matching.
Please note: Our eyelids were designed to avoid any direct blockage of the headlight and turn signal. Although we do not anticipate any safety problems or concerns with a properly installed pair of eyelids, ForjWorks shall not be held responsible for any issues arising from the eyelids, nor do we make claim for the eyelids to comply to any of your local/state safety inspection rules and regulations. Thank you for your understanding.
Eight08Customs would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! As we kickoff the holiday season and the end of 2009 we would like to thank everyone for there support. 2009 has been a very slow year for all of us in the automotive industry, with just one major show rolling through Hawaii. As we try to weather this down time in our economy eight08customs in conjunction with Forworks has still brought to market a few parts for our Scions that are huge success for us in designing and producing parts here in Hawaii and USA.
2010 will bring new challenges and new ideas! Eight08customs is opening up new opportunities and branching outside the Scion Brand and modifying Hawaii’s first 2010 Prius in which we are awaiting delivery from Servco Toyota. We believe Hybrids is the wave of the future in aftermarket that very few have tapped into. We will keep you update on the progress on Project Prius Going Green!.
We want to wish all of you a safe and Happy Thanks Giving and Happy Holidays.
Introducing a new product from www.Forjworks.com the MAFIA SERIES XD IST (NCP110) Eyelid. In which Eight08customs designed and again Forjworks has made come to life. Dramatically change the look of your xD into a very aggressive tuner machine, but yet keep its factory-clean lines. A unique design feature of the Mafia Series xD eyelids is it eliminates the circular “bump” on the factory headlight, which makes for a smooth, flowing accent piece.
Eight08customs Mafia XB has once again been featured in a short video that was entered in a contest held by Scion on there www.scionxpressionism.com/ site.
In the short 60 Sec. video take notice to the prototype Forjworks Mafia Serise Grill that will soon the be released.
