The "wife's" modded xB finally finished! Pics!!!
Well, it's been a few weeks since we took delivery of our 2005 xB, and I can finally cross everything off the "list" as far as mods go, he he he.
We got this car because my WRX will be undergoing some serious "surgery" this winter in preparation for the 2005 show season and we needed another car. Of course I had no idea there was such a following for the little xB until I came across this site.
After seeing some of the cars on here and reading through post after post, I just knew I would have to mod the xB.
However, this is my wife's car, and she was really hesitant to let me touch it because we already have a highly modified car, and she knew I'd go overboard if it were up to me (I don't think I've ever left a vehicle stock in my life, he he he). She put all kinds of restrictions on me like it can't be too low, it can't ride like crap, I can't use the cargo area for stereo stuff, and it still has to be able to hold 4 adults, etc. Basically she wanted a daily driver with no compromises.
So just like my other auto projects, I started to make a list, with goals, the parts I'd use, and what the end result would look like. I managed to do everything I wanted and keep all of her requests in tact.
I just wanted to say thank you to the whole Scion Life community for this tremendous resource. I don't think I could have finished this project so fast without the awesome wealth of information available on these boards...
