Default New pics of the "wife's" xB from the OK-Speed car

Hey guys,

Yes sir, DF210's...

I'm sure you could call Tanabe and ask them if they have an extra license plate frame to sell. As for the stickers, my buddy made them...

Another NICE Camo. Camo = RS Zero - hehehe

That pic of the rear just convinced me to peel off my bumper protector.

I thought you had some groovy VIP window trim thing going on behind the B-Pillar in that first shot, then I realized its a pole being reflected... D'oh...

Is it just me, or are your directional wheels going one way on the left side and the other way on the right side? Is that the way they are supposed to be?

The box is lookin great though!

Looks really good! Simple, but well thought out and clean!
I can see why it took the scion class.

Ah, the wheels...

Yeah, that was the first thing I asked about before I bought them. I'm such a damn perfectionist it bothered me too when I first saw them, he he he. The thing is, after doing some research, most directional wheels are like that (one mold) unless you spend some serious cash. I went with these wheels in particular because of 2 reasons really. They are anodized bronze, which in person really looks nice against the Camo Green...and they are very light, weighing in at like 16.5 lbs or so, which is helpful since the little 1.5L is not the fastest car in the world. The fact that they only cost me $125 each is a nice bonus. Cheap, light, and looks good. I don't think I was ever able to say that about any of my other car projects, he he he!!!
