Hi all, THANKS for all the compliments and comments thus far! You guys are awesome.

In the pics, the front of my car is all the way down, but the fenders are sitting on my tires. It wouldn't go any lower. I may need to camber the front also, but I dont want to do it. The rear is at about 10 PSI, but I think it will not go much lower. I will need to replace the shocks to go lower in the rear. But I need to space out the wheels a little more.

Wheels are JLINE 6SL2 - 18x8 205/40 staggered offset.

I used tinted vinyl overlay to smoke out the tail lights. It's easy to remove if I need to.
For the headlights, I opened it up and painted the inside housing flat black.

The chrome accents are inspired by BBOXD (Mark) and the several VIP-style magazines I got.

Sup Aireck, remember me? You bought the bB scale model kit from me.
The chrome trim is just a chrome trim kit, PM me if you need some. (Thanks BBOXD for helping me with this)

Haha thanks man, your box was another ride that inspired me. I can't wait to get my kit and wing on. I dont think I'm ahead of you at all... I won't even catch up to you!
I'll definitely post up more pics once updated... PHASE 2!

AirRunner was installed by AutoFashion (San Diego). It only took them 2 days, so it was worth the drive there! No leaks, smooth, install was clean. You got PM'ed.

Great pic Boxer_Rebellion, showing the headlights!
Yup, this is how I did mine. I did it when I first got my xB two years ago.

How does the testors hold up to the heat of the headlights?

Moreover, how does the regluing of the headlights work? I would be afraid that they would fog over in the rain.

Bottom Line... They look great. Def a mod I would consider if there are limited problems.

Actually, I used a spray can of paint to paint the headlight housing. The pic above is how Boxer_Rebellion did his, I believe.
Just make sure you use masking tape to cover it up good. When putting it back together, use silicon to make it seal tight. Mine has no leaks or fogging. I have HID lights, so I dont know how heat would affect it. To play it safe, you can use paint that can withstand heat.
There are tech notes on how to remove the headlights and maybe even how to paint the housing black.

The chrome handles can be purchased at:

What did you mean by "Let me know if u get em on that BOP"?

Thanks all!

Hey Emerson, I just realized that I was talking to you that one day when I was there.
Yup, I gotta give the props where it's deserved. Let Freddie and Elroy know too.

Thanks for the info on the headlights. Looks like a cheap mod with major impact on the car's overall appearance. Looks like that will go on the to do list.

Yeah, I've seen BOP thrown around on this forum numerous times and I still have not been able to glean it's meaning from the context. Could someone fill the clueless in!
