Haha! Man its been a long time comin... I feel like ive been w/o my car forever! Well i guess i kinda have. This IS my daily driver... And its owned by me... And Im not sponsored by anyone. Ive done ALL the work myself. But i love this. Thats why i do the krazy things i do. Its pure love for the import/scion scene. Thats why it makes me so happy when i see the responce like i have been recieving. Its my work that they are appreaciating! Its a REALLY good feeling.

Im very pleased the way everything turned out. Sometimes i think im TOO into this car. But it was made for you and I alike to enjoy... Ty everyone! >Mikey

Speaking of that...

Have you thought about bending up some piano wire or something similar, and molding it into the rim of the fenders for reinforcement?

The car looked absolutely amazing in person, once again. Great work. :D

Ghost_1

08-22-2006, 10:51 PM

daily driving is right, he lives about a block away from where he works. . .lol. . . I love hearing him and BlackxB roll through parkinglots. . . all you hear is psst, psst. . . and maybe the occasional groaning cow. . .lol

sweetnessinfall

08-22-2006, 11:09 PM

has he been dyno tuned, and does he raise that sucker? i can only imagine how many places he can't drive on lol.

He's on airbags, hieght adjustable. . . with the xB it's one of the best ways to go if you are trying to go VIP like mikey is.

man so many threads and finally found some decent finish photos! Love the color, body work and wheels :) You are inspiring some of my own mods :)

08-13-2008, 04:33 PM

car looks great though. Old or not there are not many wide modded xB's or xA's that look this good/finished. Love the wheels too :)

true. They are Work Euroline's special editions or something like that. You should see the bolt pattern it's kind of crazy a 4-lug pattern and a 5-lug pattern on the same rim.

It needs a paint job right now, rock ships and such. If you want to fly in from LA to the east coast you can help us all move and you can see his car at the same time. :D lol j/k

INFINI

08-13-2008, 04:43 PM

lol!! I wish :) I am looking at getting similar wheels though.

Ghost_1

08-13-2008, 04:45 PM

Watch out for the fakes. I've seen a set of Work Fabulous wheels that were almost identical to the one on this xB. difference was huge price difference and the fact that the fakes were sportsmaxx 504's, I think, with replaced center caps.

INFINI

08-13-2008, 05:04 PM

Yeah I know the diff :) Can't BS me with 504's :) lol wow! They even painted the 504's black?

Ghost_1

08-13-2008, 06:48 PM

INFINI

08-13-2008, 09:27 PM

No but if you didn't know they looked like Work fabulous rims. The 504's look identical minus the marking from work, the centercap, and the crazy bolt pattern. might be more but I don't know more then that.

You mean Fabulous wheels? There are no Work wheels that look like 501's. and yeah I know what you mean. The first clue is the fact that 501's do not come staggered and have a fixed size and offset. 18x8 I believe. It's an unusual set up for any person spending 2k + on wheels.

Ghost_1

08-14-2008, 03:54 AM

Honestly I'm not sure about the wheels. I"m not a big fan of JDM or VIP. :P

Just figured I'd get the word out there. lol

BlueJDMBoxV2

08-14-2008, 04:04 AM

I like, however im not liking how tucked the wheels are, or maybe the front fender flares ar just to big IDK just something about the wheel areas that not doing it for me, otherwise its fing sick

Mikey's got Work Eurolines. Work doesn't make Fabulous (http://www.fabulous.co.jp/products/wheel/)wheels.

I'm not big into rolling on fake rims, but I'm not snobby enough to shun companies like Rota either, as long as you don't buy Rota Grids and put Volk Racing decals on the spokes. Besides, the wheel fetishists know the difference, so you're not fooling anyone but the people that don't care. JDM wheels don't have Made in China stamped on them.

Ghost_1

08-14-2008, 01:36 PM

lol, i have rota grids . :P

uncompiled

08-15-2008, 12:10 PM

But you don't have Volk Racing center caps and Rays Engineering stickers on the spokes. :P

btw, I know that Rotas are Filipino Domestic Market. FDM FTW. Or is that PDM...

I should pimp out my car Vietnamese Domestic Market style, but that would been that I would be like a moped with rims and wearing a straw hat.

Ghost_1

08-15-2008, 12:14 PM

lol, better then having a honda civic with fear this on the back window with backwards flames all over the car. It's even better when I'm at a stop light and they rev at me. . . WTF?

Your aerodynamic shape fools them into thinking they can hang with a 100 hp toaster. They are sadly mistaken.
