Well, the weather was actually great the other day here, so I decided to really really clean up the xB and take some photos.. I started to take some photos of the back and said to myself... damn, those emblems just have to go... So I grabbed the hair-dryer, and goo gone... 20 minutes later:

And here are some various other shots... photos were taken out at the grain bins behind our house :?

I had to climb up one of them for that last shot... Wasn't sure the built-on step-ladder type deal was going to hold :shock:

I also changed the color of my A/C controls that night, an easy walk-thru DIY guide with pictures will be posted tomorrow

yo thas the best color for the xB, even better than the lava IMO :)

but dont worry about scratches. after getting key'd up :roll: a little scratch here or there isnt goign to take much away from the car.

plus its bound to get old sooner or later. if it gets old sooner just more fun to beat on it :lol: not sure if it makes sense to you. oh well

Yeah, I was just a little afraid I would screw something up, it's my first time de-badging any vehicle :) Very glad that I did it..

I like the xB with the wing and without about equally well, so I decided to save the $300 =)

damn man .... your out in the freak'n sticks!!!!!!

Believe it or not, we live "in town"

Crothersville has 1 stoplight, 3 gas stations, and 11 churchs... lol
We own quite a bit of land, which farmers pay us to raise crops and stuff on... I took the pics out behind our storage garage, which is also where the grain bin things are that the farmers store...err.. grain in... I think.?

now it's time to go low

yes yes, I know! I'm getting that taken care of SOON ;P Either 3" or coilovers, I haven't decided yet

seriously .... ride's lookin good! 8)

Thanks!! :D
