As the New Year comes around, we all think ahead, "What to do to my car now?"
What's the one thing that you wanna do to your Box for the new year ahead?
Mine is to install some red underbody LED lighting... :pray:
Maybe downgrade to some 17" wheels too?

What's yours???

We're getting leather in my wife's 06 BOP and hopefully intake and exhaust on my 06.5 PW. And, since she has my 17's and I'm running steelies for the winter, somebody's gonna get new shoes in the spring.

esams, possibly the kenstyle kit from carson toyota, tint in the front 2 windows and maybe the whole front windshield tinted also...thinking the Sakura decal on my sides (bBist tree decal) and will be pricing a turbo but want to do a little more research on them before i get one.

its a secret. :P but i will say I'm getting E-Sams and then some! stay tuned!! haha

Hmm...this is a tough question...the order will be

1. New System (deck, amps, subwoofers, speakers)

2. More Lighting (underbody, l.e.d.s where I can put em)

3. Body kit (Grason D.A.D.)

4. Anything else that comes to mind.

first off Happy Birthday D.

and sounds like a good start, are you getting this stuff by June? :lalala:
ME? I am getting a whole car! ha ha :rofl:

Thanks Will... and to answer your question, esams and tint will definitely be on there by Scrapin'...i am doing some research on the kenstyle kit, seeing how the fitment is on the authentic kit because thats the one i am going with...hopefully i will unveil that at Scrapin...

as for the turbo, there will be a lot more research going into it, and i am not just going to have anyone install it, i might head to south carolina this summer and have it installed at The Show Zone cuz they do some great work.

So when are you going to get the second box???

I have always liked th Kenstyle lips kits.

I will be going the weekend of Jan 4th.

nice...cant wait to see pics of it

Probably a header, maybe coilovers, but that depends on my income.

Mine is getting a limp of coal this year. Gotta start buying parts for my wifes 64' Falcon convt.. Mine is done till I get the supercharger.

So when are you going to get the second box??? Dane, i believe the fitment on the Kenstyle lip kit is awesome. i say this because in Japan, quite a few dealers have it as an option for their cars. and what authentic Japanese bodykit/ lipkit do you know of that fits like poo? :P

My wife fits that role fine ha ha.

X2, my wife has no problem telling me NOT to spend money on the box. :rofl:

System - 2 10s under the seats
vinyl - pretty set on the type I want but I gotta make it so I can like it.
Exhaust - Strup

Other than that, we'll just have to see...

All these Box owners and no one else answers... :silly:

Tisk tisk. :no:
They need to get with the program...

Maybe downgrade to some 17" wheels too?

What's yours???

What do you mean by "downgrade to some 17" wheels? From 18-17" , or quality of wheel downgrade? Personally, IMHO a nice 16" or 17" wheel looks nice on a xB ... and if your aim is lightweight ... go with a nice 15".

I just ordered my Volant Air Intake...anyone have any good news about it, I had to take my Weapon R out because the filter kept falling out with these crappy Biloxi Roads :(

All these Box owners and no one else answers... :silly:It's like that sometimes. :tap:

What do you mean by "downgrade to some 17" wheels? From 18-17" , or quality of wheel downgrade?I currently have 18" TRDs. I wanna go with 17s cause of the crappy roads here in Chitown!
Lately I've been thinking 15s, like the Axis Oldskools... :clap:

^^^I'm with you on that one. I started with 17's before the 18" TRDs and want a set of 15" rims to put the stock tires on. The only problem is how sexy the box looks with the TRDs. :love: :tap:

I should finally be able to download some pics this weekend. I have the steelies on the 06.5 PW, (there's your steelies Jeff :silly: ) Kathleen's 06 BOP has my 17's.

I'm running steelies with stock caps right now for a change. Did you do trim rings and chrome lugs with centercaps?

I am going to work on the inside...paint, maybe some new seat covers, recover the hatch and hopefully a new touch screen/DVD for the dash...

I'm finally gonna upgrade to HID heads & fogs.

I already got my GPS Nav for Christmas, so my box will be lookin' good for the new year. 8)

-THE DON

^^^I want HIDs so badly also, but the underbody LED kit comes first... :D

-lower springs, probably some s techs
-more spacing for the back wheels, for a totall of 20mm should do
-finish puting together my bike rack(almost there)
-tint my front two windows
-get another sub for my drivers seat
-oem spoiler
-fff, maybe ill make my own

I just Installed 8000k HIDS and PIAA fogs and will rewire from factory fogs.
And added my version of 'Smoked Tails' Anzo LEDS Tail lights.
Here's a little Sneak Preview

Other mods this year I hoping for:
Wheels
Tires
Intake
Header
Exhausr
Suspension
Shocks
Springs
and list goes on....It will be an exciting year... Stay Tune...

MR LUV :love:

For the new year, some things are already in work.

1) Custom FFF using a stock shaved grill and EZ-Baked polyurethane eyelids, finishing the bodywork filling now, paint in the next two weeks. Leov, I have a thread running on this and will be posting more pics, hit me up.

2) Custom spearbox and amp racks. Casted the back side of the box in fiberglass, re-enforcing it now and then will fleece the front and glass.

3) Ny-Trex nitrous system, already supercharged so maybe only a 25 shot.

4) Rear wheel well half-covers, doing like an old Caddy or Lincoln.

I don't plan on getting anything for the box, instead i am paying for a divorce.
But we will see how much overtime i can get at work, maybe some CF.

^^^Divorce!... :nails:
I hope I never go through this.

Hope the divorce goes ok-went through one once and they said I was in a depression even though I didn't know it. Keep close with good friends or good family if you can.

As far as the bB-it's becoming more bB-ish-emblems coming.

Lots of little things (head unit and rear sway bar are only big things planned).

I want to do the bB emblem in the dash, blue-out my a/c controls, maybe a custom speedo background, white out corners (maybe blue bulbs), new shift knob, maybe new pedal covers and new floor mats once the weather dries out (mine are trashed-driver's at least), EBC brake pads, blue underbody lights(?), roof rack, maybe a header, blue Konig wheel caps...

guess I am going to have a blue themed year!

its only like the first week of 08 but i have already gotten:
Volant intake

Esams (fake but who cares"

and monitors and dvd plyer

this is gonna be a good year to be my toaster :clap:

My next thing is grilles for the lower bumper and a speaker box to finsih my stereo........... For now anyway!

how do you like the Volant intake Dane?

I love it, the sound is really throaty, the power gain is great, and everything...i dont have one bad thing to say about it

cool, I need to look into it for the new box, cause I have no inside fender wells.

it is expensive (paid $270) but it is well worth it...and i dont have to worry about hydrolock anymore with these crappy biloxi roads...i mean i live 2 blocks from the ocean and 2 blocks from the bay, if it rains the roads flood pretty bad

well I will just need to save up for it then, it rains alot up here as well, and that always concerned me as well.

1st, get a new grill, which i already ordered, just waiting for it in the mail
2nd, get HIDs, which i also already ordered
3rd, get my new rims on this spring

so technically ive purchased all the stuff, i just need to install it. As far as new things go, i really have no idea. Im thinking about a drop, but dont know if it will be annoying driving with something low.

^^^I think that the drop should be the first thing that should be done to any Box... :clap:

^^^I think that the drop should be the first thing that should be done to any Box... :clap:

do you have one? Im just debating on if it is worth it or not. I think i might have a rough time getting in and out of my driveway. Also, i would be worried about scraping while driving in general. Any suggestions on springs? I can get the TRD lowering springs for 210 from the dealership my dad works at, not installed mind you. I might ask for that or neons for my birthday this march. A 1.5" drop with my new 17s would hopefully work well

i have skunk2 springs on my box, paid 160 shipped for them and the ride height is great...

i wish i would have gone with Tanable DF210's but i didnt know about them at the time...but dont worry, springs are not gonna lower you a ton (unless your name is gothbox)...the ride will still be pretty good, and the looks will be wonderful...

I installed the Vogtlands I got and the ride is actually better than stock. They lowered it 40 mm (so 1.6 inches-maybe a little more) and it seems to be a really good mix. Just for looks I would have gone another 1/2 inch lower or more but this is my everyday and all weather car-I'm really happy with everything about these springs.

1 - im going to get the interior detailed. there is dust all over the place and i dont know how to get rid of it. and yes, i have the cabin filter.

2 - gotta get the brakes done i think. i replaced the pads at 14k, but the dealer told me i had to do something with the rears in a few months - i dont know what it was. anyway, gona get that taken care of as well.

3 - i installed cathodes in the front footwells... i should do the rears as well... maybe i'll do that....

im trying to keep my box as stock as possible (read: I'm cheap as hell!)

l0l0l0l

oh, almost forgot, im gonna get it washed soon too. last time i washed it, i think, was may 07......... l0l0l0l

Hey Murbyrne, I have Tein H-Techs and they look great to me. They were $180 from a sponsor on here. They lowered my Box about an inch. Check out my profile for the only pic I have of my ride!

daneisthegreatest...that's the same GPS I got for Christmas. I mounted mine dead center above the gear position indicator/odometer/idiot light pod. I like the carbon fiber look you have. :clap:
Oh, Jeff, sorry I missed your post. :doh: Kathleen's BOP came with scuffed wheelcovers so I've just been running her black steelies and lugnuts. Not so hot. I did run into an older couple that came to my work the other day with an identical PW . I talked to them for a while and they said after they saw mine they hoped they would still have their wheelcovers when they got back to their car. OUCH. Am I slumming it? :eyebrow: BTW their plate read "MI SUV"

Hey glock32--thanks for the kind words, so do you like the GPS, I love mine, dont know how i ever went without it, its so great to not have to worry about getting lost :clap:

I love my GPS. Never leave home without it, my Glock or my xBox :rofl:

Sportmax 502 16x8
Air Ride
OBX Header
Injen Exhaust
Some custom vinyl work
Fix my body kit (Effin stress crack)
Fix my underglow (Effin puddles)

New speakers maybe
The stock ones seem to be buzzing a little lately

Max

Hopefully, this year will see HIDs and a Kicker CVT10 for my Scosche box.

^^^I'm thinking HIDs also... :ponder:

i will be putting my 3rd set of HID's in my box this year...i have Sonars and already have HID's in the low beams and the fogs but i will be putting a set in the high beams also

hopefully better mpg. :bow:
Who wouldn't want better.
Gas is gonna be darn near scary this summer :nails:

just got my Deluxe VIP table from Orataro yesterday and boy is it nice :clap:

maybe some tint and subs but mostly the best mod i can do at the moment is to pay off the box ^_^

i have a single 12" sub in my box right now and love how hard it hits. i went to a best buy recently and heard a two 12" sub unit being tested... omg.... i want it now!!!!!11 =XXXXX

I started off this topic wanting underbody LED kit but now I've changed my mind...again!
I most likely gonna get new wheels now, perhaps the Axis silver Oldskools... :ponder:
