Default I'm a noob, but what do you think of my xA so far?

3 weeks after buying my xA with no mods except tint, here's what it looks like now. Of course, the first thing I did to TRULY make it mine was stick my ubiquitous Skinny Puppy decal on it. (Every car I've owned since '89 has had one.) Oh, and of course a Suicide Girls sticker. Then I installed an iPod device that lets me control it from the stereo (rendering the 6 disc CD changer obsolete, really). Then I installed a center armrest that fits perfectly. Then came the koi fish seat covers. Then the flying eyeball on top. Last night, I finally got my RAD wheels installed. My friend's cousin owns a wholesale wheel warehouse, so I got an amazing deal on them. ($800 installed!)

Take a look-see!











I have the rear hatchback spoiler coming in the mail today. I'm also waiting for the floor mats and the rear bumper appliqué.

The final thing I'm doing to it is lowering the suspension about 2 inches, just so the new wheels will fit better in the well. Look at the close-up, and you'll see what I mean and why. Oh, and I'm gonna make sure the springs will be powdercoated white since they'll be visible.

Once that's done, my car will be complete…for a while! What do ya think?

The tanabe df210s will drop you 2 inchs.... and taking those seat covers out will also be a good idea. If it was a damaged seat then go for it, but until then our seats look better as is. Just a opinion though.

I'm kinda diggin the covers......isn't that what we are all doing here? A little personalization? Since the JDM market is so lame for xA's, JDF(ish) seems to be what we need.....

I agree with you on personalization... I was just stating it is a shame to cover up brand new seats. I will disagree on the jdm market for xAs, we seriously have it very good with a wide array of stuff to choose from. Even if everyone did the JDM thing I doubt 2 cars would come out the same with all the options we have out there. it is the USDM support we are lacking in. I will however say if those coi we actualy done into the seats that would be seriously bad @ss.

p.s. what does that say on the gas cap?

I think that is the skinny puppy decal...

I am considering seat covers as well, my seats just look dirty...even the seats no one sits on.
