sorry, but they do; the charm of the vehicle is completely ruined...also, I've yet to see a custom grill that looks better than the stock grill, yet, it seems people just can't wait to take that stock grill off...and removing the badges, WHY??

I've seen many good mods on here, but I've also seen things that defy aesthetical sense.

Well, I guess ugliness is a sure way to make your car stand out.

I agree... many of these mods look like crap... New wheels really make a nice improvement... most other mods make it look like spoiled rice.

How does lowering your car make it ulgy??? :rofl: As for me my personal preference is for an xB to be lowered because it gets rid of the gap between the fender and wheel plus you get a better ride with different springs. No more body roll and it handles better.

As for the Grille I think people change them out because they want all three grills to match. Plus modding the car is personalizing it for someone.

To each his/her own....

I agree - I have yet to see any grill that looks better than stock. I don't mind lowering, as long as the car isn't lowered to the point where the wheels and tires protrude into the wheel wells. There should be minimal fender gap, not none at all.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who doesn't like the lowered look. In fact, I don't really like it on most cars. It's not bad if it's a small drop, but I've seen some that look like something is broken. As for the grill on the xB, we have a RS 2.0 so I'm used to a different grill. I like ours.

Styling is an individual preference. You may not like what I did to my car, but some might. Don't come down on someone because they have different styling tastes than you.

Some like chrome, some don't. Some like JDM, some don't. Some like ViP, some don't. Some like DuBs, some don't. Some like airbags, some don't. Some like cf, some don't. I can go on and on.......................................

No one here, that I know, has beaucoup money to spend on parts thsat they want right now. Modding is a constant evolution. They have other priorities in life such as their family, maybe a mortgage, and other things.

Do I care? No. Why? Because I paid for MY parts, I pay for MY car, and I drive MY car.

Spoiled rice!?! Do you know what spoiled rice looks like? Its covered in mold prolly. I haven't seen any cars on this site covered in mold.

I just love it when others criticize, yet they don't post on pics of their rides, and what they consider tasteful.

Once again, Styling is an individual preference!

Cars may look like crap when they are lowered, the front may be more than the back, or that the left is lower than the right, etc. etc.

This is why the car should be slammed and hammered to ground level so everything is even. Even rotten old cars laying frame looks awesome. :silly:

12-05-2005, 05:20 PM
there's supposed to be a gap between the fender and wheel, there's supposed to be a gap between the car and pavement, it's called clearance

as for the argument that it makes the xB perform better...since when is this a performance car? It's a box on wheels.

Every car should have "performance"...not high performance, but performance...

Its great that you don't like lowered xB's....I suggest you don't do it then...

problem solved

I mean, not only by sheer looks - I feel that functionality is another reason why some mods are crazy.

I can never imagine lowering my xB to have it hover an inch or two above ground. Imagine hitting a pot hole!!!

I live in NYC and I am currently driving an h2. There are bumps here that I think would TOTAL an xB... Not even road conditions - how about a piece of debris? a garbage bag? half an animal on the road??!?!?

But then again - there are people who live in areas where they may not have this issue and in this case, lowering the vehicle is not a problem.

I dont think anyone in here is being as critical as you are. You just stated what everyone else stated, opinions. Your the one coming into a thread thats talking about personal opinions and then you start bashing on those opinions.
I think it's cool if someone wants to change out the grills for something differant, however I wont because every single grill replacement out there looks like a domestic truck grill IMO. I like the lower stock grills, I think it would be cooler if the top grill between the headlights matched the botton two, but I've yet to see an aftermarket grill that matches.
One thing I dont agree is with that stupid comment about spoiled rice, what the heck is that suppose to mean? But than again I dont agree with the term 'rice'. My Brother has a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon with a wide body kit (yes its painted) and 19in. ADR wheels, and I dont think thats rice, but for some reason all of those anti-rice websites classify it as rice. The only thing I consider rice is an unpainted body kit, a spoiler that shouldnt be on the car (hmm, i dont think the xB needs a spoiler at all...), a ___ body kit (honestly, i've yet to see a body kit on the xB that doesnt look ___), any kind of aftermarket air scoop intake that is non functional.
What makes all of these tuned xB's any differant from a 'riced' Civic? I think people should stop using the term 'rice' because it makes them sound like an idiot. Rice is food, not a screwed up car.
When it comes to lowering the car, IMO dropping it all the way to the ground looks rediculous. I do believe you need a speck of clearence from the tire to the wheel well. I plan on getting a lower suspension, but nothing insane.
If you think its cool to use the term rice, dont think your exempt from it beacuse you own a scion, because believe it or not, scions will be in those ___ antirice websites sooner or later.

Well, the drop and grille replacement seem unnecessary TO ME, but the box looks MUCH better minus the badges. If Scion wanted to pay me SOMETHING to advertise for them, I could leave them on. Otherwise, forget it.

12-05-2005, 08:28 PM
oohhhhh! thats why it dissapeared!

Lowering is not just just for looks it is to help you stay in control of you car better than the stock springs. I got rid of the badges because they made the front end look piggish, and the back end look cluttered. I veiw my car as a reflection of myself, I want it to be an extention of me. I want to be different, I want to be noticed, I dont want the same car that I bought more than a year ago, I want that car NOW, with every bit of charater that it has. I am going to lower, stitch, rebadge, and rewheel my car. I hope you find a way to be different that makes you happy. My way makes me VERY happy. OH, and I am glad that you dont like it, it is a compliment. Thanks

12-05-2005, 08:32 PM
personally, i would not really do to my car what most people here do. i think the xB looks great as it is. i do not have a problem "standing out" from the crowd, but dont really go out of my way to do it either.

i bought this car for its utility and practically everything i have done to it enhances that. (Ok, so maybe all the LEDs may not be as useful..) i did not buy this car to burn tires or bust through corners. i am definitely not going to sacrifice comfort for "performance".

other people put a lot of effort in getting their car to look the way they want. if winning trophies at a car show floats your boat, then great -- its just not for me. i am sure that my car isnt going to win any ribbons, but i love it anyway.

I think a top grill that looked like the bottom grills would look terrible.... Rice means exactly what you said, including cheap stickers, painted on sunroofs. When you say that you have yet to see a body kit that doesnt look dumb on the xB, have you looked around recently, and are you including lip kits?

The people stating that customization is a matter of taste are the ones saying it best. When it comes to matter of "style" I do my best to hold my tongue. Unless it is something absolutely ridiculous. But in the way of choosing to customize using one particular style over another? Forget it. It's just not worth the time and effort.

Everyone has their own taste, and who am I or anyone else to judge them on their taste. What we should do is learn to appreciate the work that goes into the customization, even if we can't consider the work it's self. To be perfectly honest, there hasn't been one xB on this site that I have liked every single modification on. Not one! And there are others that I struggle to find even one modification that I can appreciate aesthetically. But you have to appreciate the effort.

There is no reason to be critical of others on issues that are clearly aesthetic. Performance and safety issues are different. People should speak up in those matters, as they are much more critical to a vehicles drivability and even survivability.

So you don't like lowered cars, your point would be to establish???

Don't lower your xb and move on, i as well others i'm sure don't care what you think. Its our cars, not yours. Think the same way and don't let things bother you.

FYI: Lowering an xb with stiff springs or coilovers improve performance, some believe improve the look (i am one that does), and overall serves as a functional part. Not part of this "rice" theory you are talking about.

Debadging is popular to clean up the appearance of the car. Moving on.

Stock grills look fine without the big, bulky scion emblem IMO. If you like it, rock it. If not, swap it.

This thread might as well be locked because i honestly don't see how this is going to be very useful for newbies to gather information, much less serve any perpose at all except a bunch of people saying they like their lowered xb's. and others saying they don't.

It's true, the xB is ugly when lowered. When a car comes from the factory it is completely optimized and engineered to perfection. Once you start changing it, it looses something.
Why would anyone want to have trouble getting over speed bumps and pot holes. Just leave your car alone and drive it the way it is.

I personally think the xB looks like it's lifted on blocks when it's stock. To me it looks like crap with such a huge gap. I'm dropped 2 inches and personally want more. No problems with speed bumps here. All a matter of persoanl taste. Doesn't ruin the car one bit with a nice drop and actually handles better when it's lower and less air pressuse gets under the car when driving therefore changing the whole dynamic. Why do you think professional racers have their cars lowered? For looks? NOPE!

As for lowering, i really don't care either way. I hate the slammed look, but the I don't see what's wrong with a little lowering. From my POV its simply impractical here.. we have too many potholes (not to mention.. snow).

Hmmmmm
The Irony debate between the stock height and lowerd xB :ponder:

First off, the stock springs on our xBs are pretty well stiff IMO. Since I changed my wheel and tires, 17in wheels on 205/45 Federal SupperStreets 905's, I noticed somewhat of improvement on handling, of course that included the strut tower brace also. (BTW stock wheel size is 185/60 on 15" steelies). The wheels though did leave somewhat a pretty big gap between the wheel and fenders. My box looked liked it got lifted. I believed that with a 1.5 to 2 inch drop w/ more stiffer spring in front and back, this would minimized body roll. More body roll can be elliminate if you install anti roll bars or sway bars in the rear. Doing this mod and then call it "Rice" is really politcally incorrect.
Whats Rice? Hup-cap spinners, huge "NON-FUNCTIONAL" wings, Big Exuast that only makes noises, hood scoops that doesn't fuction, Vinyle sticker on your cars of parts that you don't even have or installed, strobe lights, and on........ Basicly IMO, if anyone installs parts that don't have any real fuctions that either improves the performance, handling, or LOOKS, I consider it Rice. :silly:

squirrel
12-06-2005, 04:26 PM
Ok, so back to my first post on this thread:

So when FnF came out, peeps put those fibreglass and/or aluminum wings/spoilers on their rides because they liked that particaular "styling", yet some now say its "rice". But once again, it what the owner of the car likes, not public opinion.

And then, some work, and save for a body kit, install it, yet, its not painted (because they don't have the money for it yet), nor do they have the money for wheels.

I don't know alot of people who have readily accessible amounts of cash at their disposal to fully trick out a car at any given moment. Thus my comment about modding being an evolution.

My xB went from this in Aug03:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y298/886motorwerx/6dced415.jpg

To this in Oct05:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y298/886motorwerx/b60a85bf.jpg

Some say my center exit exhaust in rice, as is my cf Fab style wing and cf double vented hood. Do I care? No, because its my car, and I like the way it looks.

And its lowered on custom height/rate TEIN springs for the TEIN Wagon coilovers.

And the vinyl represents businesses of my friends.

Styling is an individual preference.

Some like chrome, some don't. Some like JDM, some don't. Some like ViP, some don't. Some like DuBs, some don't. Some like airbags, some don't. Some like cf, some don't. I can go on and on.......................................

No one here, that I know, has beaucoup money to spend on parts thsat they want right now. Modding is a constant evolution. They have other priorities in life such as their family, maybe a mortgage, and other things.

Once again, Styling is an individual preference!

I did it at work also. Arresting/physical confrontation w/ a 25 year old Parolee, who ran from me. He had 12 rocks, a loaded Ak-47 mag, and $2k in cash.

That is just like saying ladies don't look good skinny.

Most men would disagree, but a few of them would go along with that statement.

The moral of this post is everybody thinks what looks good can vary alot,so with that said i think the xb looks great lowered.

its amazing how an opinion is wrong until its your own, eveyone here is saying how its their personal taste to drop their box, it was the original posters personal taste to say it looks bad. "move on"

Its all opinions, which is why i say this thread is absolutely pointless. Should be locked. Thats just me though.. No real information can come from this.

Please, enough with this thread already.

Some people like lowered xBs, some people don't. That is the point and no side is going to convince the other.
