Default DarrenB|Purple ricebox Ube Shake.

Thought I'd finally introduce myself and my daily XB2 RS 7.0. My Name is Darren and i am a med student. Snowboarding, surfing, tuning and modifying cars are my lifelong hobbies. I love my scion and its great gas mileage.

I modded it the way i wanted, and Its coming along pretty well, still have a lot of mods coming. Im still piecing out my custom air suspension setup; bagyard material.
It is definitely not the cup of tea for most and I will respect all comments but save the drama. Haters gonna hate.

Special thanks to the people who have helped me so far
Sean @ DPE Wheels: always handling my rim orders for my cars
Good friend Anthony Burgos: doing my headliner
Cionide on this forum: for getting me acquainted with scion xb offsets

Pictures

















and for giggles

Hey Darren. I think I've met you before. You own the red Mercedes right? Bfield area? I used to hang around that area before and I believe I met you through Rob Ocampo.

I'm Rex. I don't know if you remember me, lol.

Nice box btw, specially the wheels.

Dig it. Are you going to continue with the headliner material anywhere else on the interior?

mmmmm...Ube. Love that stuff. my gf wants the Murasaki. Hopefully we can pull that off one of these days. Can't wait to see the air setup, not my style of wheel (as far as face goes) but they look good on the xB, good look. Nice lugs to btw. looks good so far

p.s. if you're going to use your front plate you should look into an 808customs bracket relocator or the Ptuning one. would look cleaner.

Thanks man, I wish i could go lower with tein s-tech or ksport coilovers temporarily until my air is finally set up but jersery roads are the worst. So this height will unfortunately have to suffice for the time being.

Lol Ube is real good stuff. Definitely let your gf get one, its a great car. I am working hard on trying to get the air suspension setup. Yea the lugs flow well with the color of the car. Dumb jersey law requires us to have a front plate. I saw the ptuning plate relocator and it was alittle expensive for just a tow hook mount. I am fabricating one but been too busy with work and stuff.

Thanks man! Yea I am fabricating a license plate mount. It definitely looks funny how I have it mounted but its only temporary lol.
