Default I thought I would finially show off my XB.

Since I finally got tires for my new rims I thought maybe I should post up some pics of my XB. Overall she is still rather stock. I know she needs a drop, hoping to do about a 1.5" drop soon. Rims are 17x7 BSA 236s wrapped in 215-40-17 Kumho 711 tires. The red looks kind of odd but I actually like it. Oh well here are the pics, I hope they work I have never used photobucket before. Thanks for looking and comments are welcomed.

Nice ride but I think another color wheel would be better.

Looking good The red could be a little different shade, but it might just be the way a camera captures it. Still looks good though. Should clear the corners, its not hard & makes the car look much better. Also debadge the rear. Makes it nice & smooth looking out back & these 2 things dont cost a thing, other then time,

Looks Good to me.

I have a white box also and was thinking about red rims without the polished lip to go with the sway bars, springs and strut bar that i plan on having red when i ever get some funds coming in.

Thanks for the comments, I do appreciate them. Forgot to mention, I plan on getting the tail covers that are all red, except for the back up lights, and a set of yellow covers for the front.

Thanks again. :D

i like it alot. its unique and usually unique is a bad thing in my book, but not here. I think the red wheels adds alot of character to the box. thats whats so great about scions, everyone can use a creative idea and implement it. i really like the white eyelids too. gives it a wicked look.

I like it. Clear the corners and it will look alot cleaner. I dont think the yellow would be a good choice for the front though but it is your creation. Cleared corners would be sweet.......

I like the red wheels - looks good. After the drop, you should get the Scion leather steering wheel in red. Maybe get red lighting inside to keep the theme running.

I wouldn't put yellow on the front though. Just thinking about it gives me the *******!
