Default Photoshoot with my car

Well I got to wash my car today and clean it up a little



Better grille shot



Now interior

For my sub box I am going to have a CNC machine make a special setup to cover the subs safely. Sueded blue like the bezel around my shift ****.


The amp under my rear seat


Pioneer head unit, leather shift boot with blue stitching and momo shift ****.


Ebrake boot matching shift boot


My ipod hook up, will be moved once I feel like wasting the time to do so lol


Plans this year are some TSW nogaro rims, lowered. Not sure if I want to do coilovers or just springs. I also have a bomex lip kit ready to go on. Already have the parts just waiting.

Looking good Kylie,

Personally, I think lowering springs would be worthwhile, and there's always the possibility of removing the tape from the A-Pillars, but still, it's looking good !

Oh yea that tape is coming off, and I am also putting a wing on when I get my lip kit done. The front bumper will also get a matte black paint in the center as well as a new lower grille same as the top grille black

if you painted the grill black, that would look sick. Also those tails are awesome. I seen then on the high way yesterday, so nice.

On my own xB2, I'm seriously tempted with blackening the lower front lip. I can either go Blue Batmobile vinyl, or paint it myself. Don't know what's going to happen there, but as always, time will tell !

I know it's in your plan, but just a FYI IMO, lowering should be the next priority.

So far, so good!

LOL

Next thing is going to be lip kit since its already ordered and sitting at the body shop. Cioncide with the rim choice I told you what type of springs would work that won't lower the car to much? I don't want the lip to close to the ground either. Anyone you suggest? I am very much considering coilovers for adjustablity just incase and more performance. Just not sure yet.

Yea chris I am down for chillin anytime. We should hit up carlisle event this year. Yea me and my brother in law installed and made the box.

Coilovers will give you the most adjustability and best handling options for lowing, and allow you to dial in how much you want to lower it vs. stiffness to keep from rubbing or bottoming out. If you can afford the coilovers, then springs shouldn't even be a consideration. If you're not willing to spend the $$ for coilovers, then I'd go with Tein H-Techs for a mild spring drop with good handling compromises compared to coilovers and still try to protect the lip kit.

I have had 2 sets of coilovers already on ym last car and feel in love with them. But not sure if I weigh the price of coilovers for the price of what I want to do with the car overall. I just want to make sure its what I wanna do cuz 800+ bucks is a good chunk of change.

I am really leaning towards brake upgrades. Rotors and pads. They heat up way to fast when pushed even slightly
