TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

Great lookin' question marks, but the after look just like the before. :silly:

I got coilovers and a grille.

Looks nice. Need a better pic for the grill though. Can't really tell what it looks like.

your pictures don't work.

mmmmmmm
beautiful red x's you got there

really.. guess it stopped working.. strange

not sure what the big change was, until you mentioned it...

Drop is proper, is that a flat front grill?

Sorry about my cars dirtiness! It needs a wash. Next im getting some interior lighting (cold cathode things). Future plans are CF hood, I/H/E, and ummmm. Maybe some eyelids or something. The drop looks way better in person. Looks sorta crappy here but OH well you get the IDEA. And just incase anybody is wondering, those are KMC Redline rims. They are a special edition "Hotwheels" rim. :)

WHAT type of coilovers do you have??

Tein BASIC? Why?

is there a zoom out option on your camera??

looks good

looks clean

Nice xB I love those rims especially on the white.

that grille is Kick ___. make it yourself?

Fraid not. The grille is a Grillecraft.

you can go lower on those coilovers..right??

Black grilles on white xBs always look classy.

Nice ride.

-THE DON

you can go lower on those coilovers..right??

Why yes. I suppose so. I almost scrape anything that I drive over, and it gets driven daily, so umm......I cant go too much lower. When I go over speed bumps I barely have clearance....any lower and I would have to take speed bumps sidewayz, lol. Oh and in case you're wondering, I dont know how much lower I can go. When I got it lowered, I asked for about an inch above the tires. I dont know how much they lowered it, but they said between 2-3 inches.

very good

That looks great!! I'm usually not a fan of black rims, but those look really nice.

I got the same Grille for my white xB...I'm glad to finally see it on a white one, and to see it looks good :-) I also got some projectors with the black casings, hopefully it will give me a nice continuous black look...just waitin for the body shop to fix the rest so I can get it back on the road...how much was the coilover kit? I was thinkin bout the H&R cup kit...

The Hot Wheels wheels are a nice touch. Fitting, in an ironic sort of way. Way to go with the other mods, too. :clap:

nice start

i got the same wheels....how much u lower?

again...not sure. Between 2-3 inches somewhere.

ah.....c....thx a bunch

Okay, got home from my business trip and back to my regular computer. I can see the photos now. Nice ride! I like the grille very much, even the wheels you selected. But you gotta paint those calipers! I'd go white, silver, or black, but black would be my last choice.

Good job!

So, how exactly do you paint calipers?

Hi-temp paint...Duplicolor makes a good one...they have it at Kragen

So then...do I just remove the caliper and paint it?

well...depending on how good you want it...I personally would take it off, take it totally apart, get some paint stripper (nasty stuff, make sure you have some water handy, thats the only thing that neutralizes it) paint the calipers with the stripper, let it sit, get all that old paint off of there, primer the caliper, then give it a few coats of the paint (let it flash dry in between or else you'll be waiting YEARS for the paint to dry lol...

is that the black mesh grille they sell on ebay for like 80 plus shipping?

LOL I dunno. Its a grillecraft grille that I got from a scion dealer.

LOL I dunno. Its a grillecraft grille that I got from a scion dealer.

thanks found them on the net, not bad, they are like 115 plus shipping

I finally got my grille and headlights in...it's the grillecraft too...now I needa lower it and get me some wheels/tires!

Very good sir! I love those headlights. What kind are they? And, how was the installation?

I got them from Street Beat Customs in AZ (DO NOT go there for them tho) they are made by ICT or somethin...but I think a bunch of other companys slap their names on there as well...I just gave them to the body shop to install when they fixed everything...but from the looks of it it was really easy...they didn't hook up the LEDs tho...so thats my task for today...

Whats wrong w/ street beat? I live in AZ so it sounds easy to get to.

well, just hope u dont have a problem with them...cuz thats when it gets interesting...lol...long story...but if u can go right to them, u should be ok...I'm having issues cuz I live in Cali, and some sh*t went down with a hood I ordered...

drifters.....you box looks great. You should check out the desert & salt region for the meets that we have every weekend around the valley and come check it out sometime. Not sure if you have before or not but just wanted to pass the info on.

Lookin' good 8)

I have a backwards kind of question for you...how high do they go? Can you bring them up to stock height? The reason I ask is for winter driving with snow and crap on the road.
In the weeds looks sweet in the summer, but when the snow falls around here... :nails:


b.t.w. nice screen name http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/mlsaint78/SMILEYS/smiley_thumbs_up.gif I have a ragged out s13

looking good :-)

Thanks for the great comments guys! Its great 2 see people "appreciating". LOL. O and Mooneyz, yea those meets sound great! Were can I get more info on them?

Go to the top left of the page, put your cursor on forums, drop down to regional ares and then click on desert and salt. Hope to see you at some meets...

the only thing taht would make your box look really good would be to show up at our meet tonight at The Ice Den in North Scottsdale. goto www.scionetics.com to get info and the map

LOL. Me and my dad would consider goin down......but......were in Texas right now :doh: Maybe a meet in the next couple of weeks though........

EDIT: Ok I just thought I would let this out right now. I am 14 years old. My dad bought the Scion for me and he buys all of the parts (until I get a job). Me and him pretty much have an equal say on what gets done to the xB. Well, sorta, I had to convince him to get coilovers before getting I/H/E (in the end, we BOTH thought it was worth it). I drive the car around town a little (not legally!), and my dad drives it almost daily. This will go on until I get my permit in like 8 months. Once I start driving, the car is completely mine. So yea. Just thought i'd let people in.

that drop is clean, coils are the way to go

dang..... 14.... you got one cool dad

how is the ride on the tein?.. what kind teins did u get?

dang holy old thread
