Looking really nice, keep up the good work!!

 

you did a realy nice job, its a sharp xA.
I think the ride height is a little high though. Maybe the springs havnt settled yet, but I think it needs to be lower.

edit: Also, the tip on the exhaust appears to be "sagging". Can you bring the tip up higher to match the curvature of the bumper exhaust outlet? Maybe by cutting and re-welding one of the hangers?

 

What an immaculate xA. My only is the dirts on the carpet. Just my $0.02.

 

The spings are moderate but they are good bacause Im not scapping up and down the street like in my 350z.

The exhaust your right it needs to be rehung. I did bring it up but it ended up buning the rear valence alittle bit. I need to find a happy medium for it.

Keep the opinions coming!!!

 

Yeah, just fix that exhaust and it will be perfect.

Maybe you can get a metal plate there so the exhaust won't burn the rear bumper?

 

like the way the bay is lookin

 

love the big brakes...

 

so that's what the real JP kit looks like! hotness! better than the photoshop one that they have on the site!! JP here I come!

 

absolutly love it, especially the color, nice work

 

lift up that exhaust. lol. paint looks good. body kit is nice and subtle.

 

Paul....you did an awesome job. We met at the Rancho Santa Margarita meet and we provided you with 2 display cars.

I saw the car there stock and the concept pictures. I saw the xA at SEMA and it looked great. The print out that you had did not do justice to it.

Great job.....hope to see you around. If you ever need anything, hit up Glenn from Motegi or Sheila from Scion Corp..they would know how to get a hold of me.

Nice job once again.

 

Yep the muffler needs to be rehung and another thing i found interesting was the fact that you are using the 05'front bumper and not the 06', is there a reason for this?

 

jsosa. all the lip kits are made for japan's ist which has the 04-05 xA bumper. the 06 is different and the lip kit would not fit...

 

I'm surprised there are not more posts in here. Thats one badass car

 

jp lip kit here i come..=)

 

hey you got fog but i don't see the fog switch inside. is it mounted on the stark or someplace else on the '06?

and i don't think my rear marker lights light up on the '05...

 

where did you get your wilwood stuff for your xa?
i've been interested in that for mine.

the car looks great by the way.

 

Is the side mirror with turn signal lights comes original with the car?
