Default New xB pics and video

Well i decided it was time for a few new pictures of my car since all the mods are done for now.

I am still rollin on steelies because im waiting for some cash to buy tires for some wheels i have in the garage.

my buddy sold me all his parts cuz he traded in his xB for a Titan and wanted to get the car as close to stock as possible before trading it.

the exhaust is an HKS muffler with a 12" resonator in place of the stock one.

Mod list is as follows:

HKS axle-back
Tanabe DF210 springs
Tanabe strut brace
TenzoR CAI
Greddy 480g shift ****
Black headlight mod w/ squirrel finder mod
6000k 55w headlights
3000k 55w fog lights
tinted reverse light and mirror signals
TRD bumper inlet

bobby, i ended up trading in the car with the hatch on it.. If you want it, hit me up man, the dealership i traded it to wants it off the car if possible. Come down here, give me $100 and we will do the swap.

I will even leave the carbon spoiler on it for you.. thats $1100 worth of carbon fiber for $100

Bobby, it doesnt matter if your car has the wiper or anything, i have it all at home.

You have first dibs because youre an SM member.

If you wanna swap it out, let me know ASAP so i can get the dealership off my nuts.

First of all thank you, I got a very good deal on everything.

As for the resonator, its just a generic one. No baffles or anything just on the top it has the circles lol? Im no UTI all i know is if i would of went straight pipe it would of been way to raspy.

I'm really afraid to go headers now because I think its perfect sooo next mods are

Almost in this order:
-System
-Rims (waiting for tires to wear out)
-Short Shifter
-Tint
-Pulley


And from there I dont know just yet. depends what deals I got.

Default Painted Valve Cover

How did you keep the letters & logo from being painted? What brand and type of paint did you use? The color is flat black right? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I get the right stuff. Appreciate it!

Nice ride! I got the Tanabe Strut bar coming in on Monday. Hows the difference in handling? Ive been hearing things that the tanabes arent as good as the TRD. Any input?

Just remember to life the car off the ground when you install it. Will make it have more tension and help more. I put the strut bar on at the same time as springs so.... not to much input but.. Them both together is like day and night.

Yea, I installed my springs first, then my sways. Now I want to complete suspension with the strut bar.

How were the instructions when they came, detailed?
