I just installed today a DC strut bar cs-2

 

Very nice...

Have you figured out what to do with the rear bumper?? And are you gonna shave your badges??

-THE DON

 

Please tell me that it is not sitting right on your hood? I looked at our xA and it got a chip in the paint while sitting in the garage.

 

the wind blew and scratched the entire side of my car

strut bars look nice but for the money dont do very much...

 

yes I will tray to do samthink like this .. I WANT TO SAID THANKYOU TO;
(((( XBILLY AND MACMASTER )))) FOR MADE THE SAMPLE PHOTO SHOP FOR ME AND THANKS TO((((CHITOWNTC)))))) FOR THE ORIGINAL IDEA

 

Yea...seems like everytime I wash my car the hose water seems to scratch it up a lil more and more each time
Good simple mod though...I had one on my car but had to take it off to fit my Intercooler piping

 

Strut bar is a nice add on, looks good. The exhaust though, even though this is off topic, I am not feeling... not at all!

 

I'm not trying to be mean or anything, just hoping someone can answer this for me....

Why if you have a 1.5 L engine, that runs a 2 inch ext pipe (at the most) would anyone think 2 2.5 inch mufflers are going to do anymore than just hacking the ext off at the header. I've seen many times (not you guys, I hope) the 1.5 inch ext pipe going to a 4 inch or bigger tip. Duals don't really do anything on a car moving 1/2 as much air as the pipe, hence drop in back pressure and the wonderful popping I get to hear from the guy down the street with the baby blue Hundai with dual cans (I say can's because these suckers are atleast 4.5 inches) everytime he lets off to come to a stop. People are just doing the duals for looks right? I'm not picking on you, I'm just wondering if a ton of people are running out spending a ton of money on duals thinking they are going to boost the performance. The latest I saw was a 4cyl Grand Am with Duals, Dual DTM's so 4 tips bigger than the pipe off the motor. This thing sounded horrable, and it only made it worse that the car was smoking due to blown rings, only out one set of tips (guss the other one was for looks)

For your XB I (if it was mine and I was doing that) would leave plastic bumper around the tips. Round the speed grill more like 2 ovals, but end the grill before the tips, say like an inch or so. You'll still see all the can and the tips will blend nicer with the body lines.

 

if you put the mesh in the back you should paint it black so it blends in better, that would be hot. i like it because its different, keep it up.

 

thats a nice early 90's gmc in the back ground i wanna say thats a 1500 or 2500 with a 350cid tbi

 

yeah...paint that mesh...please?

 

btw... that strut bar looks sick!

Wow ... what a difference some black paint makes! I really didn't care for the look of the wide-whale raw mesh or the cans being kicked out to either side. Painting that mesh pulls it all together. Nicely done ... truly.

 

does the intake touch the strut bar? if it doesn't, it must be pretty close to doing so.

looks tyte thou.

 

the black looks a million times better

 

*takes a bow*

i dont get paid 500 a week to be a graphic designer for nothing i guess :D

 

thanks for the photo shop bro. looks excelent

 

wow, it;s all coming together now. maybe some neons to set it off, too.

 

looks very good now. Keep it up

 

Yeah, I flinched when I saw that too!!
