The only thing I don't like about 05carbontc's stance is that his rear is lower than the front. I don't think it looks right having the tire hidden behind the fenders in the rear and NOT having the same look in the front. So it doesn't look right.

But I love that it's lowered and I like the wheels and the carbon fiber is definitely pretty nice on there, but you should have just stuck with the carbon fiber hood.

And where's your lower grill? Doesn't look right with a gaping hole in the front.

FINALLY!



AND guess what..... NO TPMS red light!!! Bought a set on ebay from an '08 xB. So I don't know if the TPMS computer recognized the signal or what. Went to my local Discount Tire and had them do 'em up for $100 with sensor install. It had 8 sensors to figure out as my snow steelies went home with me. Drive to work and back home today had zero tire pressure lights.

Also, 4' tall box at my front door revieled the Rumion style window visors.

@xB_Cracker:

You know, I actually like those. They're modest. Coupled with your Eibach Sport-Plus setup (which, btw, you'll have to re-add some photos after you get that set up), it'll look even nicer. It's got a kind of stockish look, but only xB owners will know the difference. Very nice. I like those a lot.

@stussycole:

Those wheels are really nice with your box, too. The design invites a need for painted red calipers. Get those on there immediately.

I know they are universal but getting some metal body filler and having my brother inlaw help me with them and make em smooth. This coming weekend they will be powder coated black

pyroman131

Those are sick! How are you going to put those veins on there?

I think that maybe you should get some kind of vinyl "Scion" lettering on one of the spokes that are color matched to your box. I think that would look really awesome, would be simple, and effective.


@oreoremix42: What color is your box again for those wheels?

Hahah , my dad's company (middle atlantic products) does powdercoating on their products, so i just had tthem throw my rims through the line... npot a bad deal. biggest paint line on the east coast, they could afford some free coating to me.

i have a connect at an auto body shop, she made me alot of touch up. I was thinking just taping off the spokes, maybe 1/8" veins, somehow meeting where the 2 spokes meet... i'm playing around with the idea right now, and i'll probably do it tuesday night, because i'm just so into color matching.

Adding some input. PLEASE TELL ME IF YO UTHINK THE CENTER CAP SHOULD BE HTM AS IT IS NOW IF I DO THE VEINS OR SHOULD I BLACK THEM OUT AND JUST DO THE VEINS
(sorrry for caps)

I have the dark blue. I forget the exact color name.

This is what it looks like when they are on the car



Yes I know needs lowered, on my to do list when I get enough money for coilovers

pyroman131

I still like the "Scion" lettering better. Kind of like what Five Axis did with their wheels on their promotional xB. I think it'd look sick. But to each their own!

@oreoremix42: Very clean, I like it a lot. I think you should accent them with chrome door handles. Why save up for coilovers when you can ride on Eibach Sportlines like me?? They ride awesome and give you a really low, aggressive drop.

oreoremix42

I am putting a bomex lip kit on, I want the adjustablility of the coilovers so I don't get to low. Don't wanna break the kit. Plus I want a much better handling ride. I love pushing my car through corners. All there is to do out my way. Plus the extra stiffness of coilovers will help a lot. I am also going with a slightly thicker tire to help keep in slightly higher off the ground with out look weird in the wheel wells.
