I don't usually like body graphics, but the stripes work.

Very clean! The bronze rims go well with the camo color! Any plans for more mods in the future?

I agree. i like the bronze color. It goes with the box well. I have been waiting for some bronze wheels to show up on a box. I want to get some wheels in that color but was not sure if they would look right. Nice and clean I like

Wow! I had no idea the little xB would go over so well...I appreciate the comments everyone!!!

I've gotten some PM's about some different stuff so here's the "list"

Tanabe Super Hyper Medalian Exhaust
Tanabe Strut Tower Brace
Tanabe NF210 springs
AEM Cold Air Intake
AEM Battery Tie Down (not pictured)
AEM Oil Cap (not pictured)
Scion Carbon Front End Mask (not pictured)
Falken Hanabi Wheels, 17x7.5, staggered offset, 42mm up front, 32mm out back
Kuhmo ASX's, 215/40/17's
Vinyl graphics (my own design)
Pioneer AVIC N1, custom mounted in bottom slot using Metra kit #99-8209
Pioneer/Premier P-686 6 disc CD changer

As for future plans, well, I have an armrest coming, and we'll probably add cruise control too if I can find a suitable location for the controls.

I would just mount the stalk on the column like you're supposed to, but my wife doesn't like the way it looks and it's very close to her knee. I did buy the optional dash mounted control, but I don't think we'll use it as it feels rather cheap and the color doesn't match to well. The screen printing was all rubbed off the buttons as well when it showed up. I'll either find a custom location for the cruise stalk, or fabricate something using other switches.

Other than the armrest and cruise, I wan't to paint the front calipers tomato red to match the graphics, and get the smoke tail light covers by bluebatmobile (not sure though, my wife is starting to adore the "frosty" clear tail lights now - she hated them at first). She also wants to tint the front windows to match the rear. Not included in the pics are the Scion carbon fiber front end mask, as well as the AEM battery tie down and oil cap.

Now, if it were up to me, and it was my car, I'd want to chop the top like 4 inches, suicide the rear doors, and toss the Tanabe NF210's in favor of the DF210's or the Sustec coilovers they have, but that's about it. I'm pretty happy with the way it is...

Nice ride.
Now, I have clearer vision on what my ride should look alike in a year or two ... ( just bought a Camo this morning... Looking forward to mod it slowly...)

Is that the Pioner AVIC-N1? What's the MSRP? My parents are looking into it for my xA. How much should installation be?

That is a well done "limited edition" camo xb :D :D The lavas are supposed to be limited but I see more of those and less camos,so I think the camo is the limited edition
