I've smoked my tails and all of the side markers, I painted my headlight housing phantom gray pearl and took out the amber plastic cover(looks good but projects very little light, I forgot to mask off some chrome..oops), Injen cold air, Eibach pro kit, 16x7Flat gunmetal Rota subzero on yokahama AVS(I used to have a civic..old rims), gold brake calipers(sorry about the rice..it seemed like a good idea at the time) I have more mods to come especially this month...does anyone know if those headers on ebay for like $90 is any good?...probabaly not, but for $90 it might be worth a shot. Also does anyone aoutocross their xa's. im very interested

That's pretty sweet!...the wheels give it a nice look. You are gonna get those windows tinted right?

BTW, youghta give some heads up about the file size of that pic...or maybe even cut it down a few megs...took me almost 15 minutes on dialup for it to show....

And nope, we don't have DSL in our area.....

Looks good! Your headlights are not reflective at all? I always wondered how the Rota Subzeros looked on the xA. It looks like I'll be opting for 16" Rotas instead of 15"...

I kind of like the XA on the side. I wish there was some sort of badge for the RS1.0's.

I have thought about taking the Scion badge off and putting a Lexus badge in its place. Put "Lexus" on the lower left rear and put RS1 on the Lower right. That should confuse everyone ... LOL :lol:

yeah...sorry about the size of the images..its my first time putting images up. About the headlights..i personally dont like them my self but when i painted them there was no turning back..if anyone knows somebody with an extra set of headlights or a cheaper place to get some, please let me know. I think the car looks much better with just cleared out headlights. The xa badge on the side was a product of boredom...again I am sorry. but yeah 16s are still too small for these cars they were just really cheap, somewhere like $100 per wheel,i think 17s are just right.

thanks for the comments...i think that is rust on the center of my wheels, i smoked my tails and side markers using some rc car paint (Testors wind tint color) and a few coats of clearcoat. The headlights i baked in the oven and took out the amber lens and painted the housing phantom gray pearl. it looks pretty decent on a phantom gray xa..dont know how good it would look on an rs. you should candy red the tails and clear out the headlights though. it would look clean.

yeah thanks..these are smaller sized pics compared to the ones i originally posted. i was hesitant in modding this car because i was a such honda lover beofre i bought this car and i was going to spend my monay on a used hatch but i think i wanna get the tsi turbo for it instead.
