Night-Import: Photography and Words by William Lee

Kain tC-20
“Hidden in the Shadows..” is a common phrase used in many adventurous novels or maybe in fantasy movies. Those characters or objects come out of nowhere, getting that sudden attention and becoming one of the most memorable moments by readers and viewers. Surprisingly, the automotive scene is no different. Cars you’ve never seen before is parked at an event or meet and it blows your mind, not realizing the time flying by while the cars are being scrutinized by others and you yourself. This car I’m about to introduce to you guys has rarely gone out to meets or events and you had to be lucky enough to see a photo in its current stage. Today, this car will be properly introduced for the first time and will never be seen in a few months. Read along the story to find out why..

Rumion -40

Most of the cars that come from Japan to the U.S. are slightly modified, or maybe more than we think to meet the USDM standards.
Right hand driven becomes left hand, smog tests are required, and much more, which is why you pop up your hood to find out more than 10% of the parts on the car are made in the U.S. (There are exceptions.)

Some imports look much better when it was originally made, straight out from its original manufacturer, and from the list of imports, Japan-made cars are probably on the top list.

Scion xB's became a sudden interest to many import enthusiasts when it was first released in the U.S.. The 1st Gen, known as bB in Japan, did not have any critical changes, except the obvious left to right hand drive, and etc.
However, for the 2nd Gen xB's, there were changes to its exterior. It's called Rumion in Japan and has its own body kit with different exterior parts. Christopher Wu, owner of this xB, managed to order the full Rumion body kit from Japan with the help of his father. He focused on every single aspect of the original 2nd Gen xB and I got to say he did a darn good job.
