Take care in removing the vinyl as well, with it being on for 56k it's probably on pretty good, would hate to see the paint get damaged. Katana rims were probably not dealer installed, maybe you could ebay them though to get some cash back for the new ones. If you need stock ones to ride with in the mean time pleanty of people here on Scion life still have theirs and will part with them for $50 or less.

Lookin' good - congrats!
The drop would do it a world of good, I like the rims, and I hate to admit it but I think the stripe looks kind of cool against the wheels... :P

I'm suprised, after the way you described it I thought it would look worse, but actually it looks pretty good!
You gotta do something about those brake calipers though, that's the exact reason why I have never painted any of my calipers.

^^ the stripe does match pretty well, lol.
I like a cleaner look though.......so.. I guess I'll have to see what happens.

car looks good man!
drop it on goldlines or progress springs,
roads are really bad here in philly, and im slammed on coilovers.
id hate to admit it (too) but i like the graphic.

I should become a photographer! lol. Heres my new pics!
The wheels aren't that bad... although OG-Sans would be hot on there...
Don't bother with TRD springs, the drop is lame... at the very least, get some Tein H.Techs... but I'd get S.Techs or Progress.
The vinyl isn't that bad, but it's looking a bit worse for the wear... I'd pull it. Otherwise, the car looks great! Congrats!

nice xB I really like camo, dont go with a mild drop like a 1" you will want to go lower sooner or later. Im on tanabe df210s and thats prob the most popular cheap 2" drop around, the roads are hilly and full of potholes in Omaha and I've never had a problem there a good mix of ride quality and stance. Whatever you do keep it clean...

looking good
not bad for a used one
now dropit you can use tein s or tanabes nf210 they dont drop that much
if you can buy the esams style vent visors
and youre done (yeah right :rofl: )
welcome to the family enjoy your box

do yourself a favor and listen to these guys.... ditch the trd spring idea, cause this is whats gonna happen...youll be happy when you first get em on, but a month or two later youll be kickin youself in the butt becuase youll want to be lower. just skip right to some s techs or something similar to that. and if you want any opinion about your ride, wheels look pretty good, but repaint your calipers BLACK. vinyl is nice but i understand you want the clean look (i agree)

Nice ride nice to see another camo box on the road. Mine sits on tein s techs with 17 inch rims and the ride is really nice! Ima be switching to air ride hopefully in a month or so just cuz i like the the fact that ill be able go as high or as low as i want to. Anyway good luck with the new ride i know yull love it! :P ohh and you can see the pics on my profile if yur looking to see how the s techs look as far as drop and stuff.
