Default Finally installed TEIN S-tech. Armrest UPDATE pic.

I bought S-tech before last winter and they were sitting in my basement. So, I was waiting for this a long time. And finally me and my cousin and of course Heineken Light installed'em today.

Here the results:
BEFORE


AFTER








Plus I removed rear wiper and debadged Scion emblems. Thanks KEYTECHNIQUES for rear plug, that matches the color nicely



So, what you all think XBers?

S techs give that PERFECT drop where you sit at a nice lowered stance that looks nice, but not where you are so low you're scraping any parts of your car on the ground going in parking lots. good choice.

Yes, I did. It does get a little in the way of the e-brake, but u can still reach end of e-brake easy and pull or push it. Personally, I don't use e-brake that often (I don't drift on my BOX ) -so I don't care. The armrest attaches right between two front seats: no bolts, no drilling holes, no zip ties . It just sits down between front seats very tight. The only bad thing is when u want to move one of your front seats -u have to pull out the armrest, otherwise u can scratch or rip the upholster. Other then that it's perfect for my needs.

I just bought one of those. Should be here next few days along with headlights and taillights. It was time for a change. Cheaper this way then a MINI Clubman, which I still really want.
