Default Chargespeed kit for xB? Anyone?

I was wondering if anyone had the Chargespeed full front and rear bumper kit for the xB. I wanted to know how their driveability was.
I'm thinking of getting this kit. let me know. Thanks.

Yeah I have it. I also have a one inch drop on the Box and it clears almost everything. The only thing is on driveways do not go nose first, go at an angle or else you'll scrape big time.

That xB is crazy fresh. What size are your wheels? is it gonna look funky if I rock 15's. What do you guys think?

The size of my rims are 19X7.5. And yeah the color matching was kinda hard but some guy from where NISH gets his paint from said he could color match it exactly to stock color with no difficulty. I'm just waiting on a new set of rims before I repaint the kit.
These are old pix anyway, I have other goodies on it as well.

Yeah if you go 15's it will look kinda funky since the chargespeed kit creates more wheel space.

The lowest I would recommend are 17's but with a big diameter like 17X8.5 or just get bigger wheels.

Not one xB I have ever seen from the factory and I have seen many ever has a bumper that matches the car...Flex changes the paint color just a bit

Are those the stock fog lights in the bottom. One question I'm pretty sure you had to remonve the metal bumper in the front? How about in the back? I always liked this kit but the Silver colored one I always see advertised doesn't show as much detail as our pics do. I Envy (lol) your Box for rocking that kit. Looks good, Later

I do not like personally the driveability of my car with this kit. Depending on the drop maybe 17inch wheel. I like 18 and bigger.

All of the metal bars came off since it is a JDM kit. With the bars it would'nt fit. As for the foglights yeah they're the stock ones...they fit perfectly.

The Axis wheels are nice but I wanna get the Fabulous Profound or Garson Deep Racing rims. I pre-odered both sets with Yukimi (MyAutoFashion.com) to see which will look better on the box. No extra charge either.

I'm also getting bb headlights and more jdm goodies to keep it real.

Work in progress.

Im not a fan of the green envy, but you make it look way better.

15's are always nice, if you get an aggressive fitment w/ some flares.

Otherwise, 17's are the new 18's. Just go semi aggressive, like for example :

17x8 +24 Front

17x9 +20 Rear

your xb is dope. are those j line wheels? what suspension are you running? Did you also have to remove your bumper supports?
