Let me know what you think of my XB
I was wondering if you could take a look at my gallery on my profile and tell me what you think of my XB. If you have any suggestions or help it would be appreciated. I only bought the Xb a month ago so there are alot of future plans for it. I was wondering if my plans were what everyone else thought of these cars. I know its kind of weird asking everyone elses opinion but I just wanna see what everyone thinks.

nice...here are some cheap mods...PAINT!
love the interior..go with a total black and white theme...that means -
the dash (white speedometer ring, white dummy light display, silver on the steering wheel (paint it white) silver on the dash paint it white or do the whole dash cover white ...you get the idea...window switch covers..paint them black......when you do interior the key to remmebr is DETAIL! whatever makes it POP!
paint all accents with white or black (depending on what the background is)
billet grills...I'd continue with the black and white theme....go black on the billets..and also add some eyelids to the headlights (painted black)
Rims really do make the car but they are damn expensive!! while your saving up for them try something different...paint the steelies white!!! and got some closed face black nuts to help offset the look..and if you don't want to paint the wheels paint the hubs white....if you do paint the hubs..still primer black the wheels so it has a black and white look to it (you'll be able to see the wheels through the holes in the hubs )
just my thoughts...if I had gotten a white xB I would of totally went with a black and white theme think it would look sharp!

I am glad everyone likes it and thanks for the tips. I currently do have rims for it but the show season is almost over. I am just gonna wait til next year before I put them on. I am also currently waiting for my bodykit, carbon fiber hood and rear hatch to come in. Once they come in its off to the body shop. I am having the top painted metalic black and the bottom painted pearl white. All handles are coming off and the rear hatch is gonna be completely smooth due to the fact that I am going with a charge speed body kit. I am also going with a carbon fiber fab wing. Also they are suiciding the rear doors and doing vertical doors on the fronts. I am also putting new fenders on it. While its in the body shop they are gonna do my interior with it. I also have a full airbag suspension that is waiting to go on it. I wanna wait til after winter to put most of it on due to the snow and weather in Pennsylvania. While its in the bodyshop it also gives me time to save for the turbo kit

...Good Grills...
If you RIGHT click and copy the property location, you can post your photo's in this post. Then people will not have to go there to see photos. Paste location, select it and hit Img box above text box. I like the black accent stripes.
Got a CABIN AIR FILTER? (You don't) See TECH thread called 'Fabricate your own CABIN AIR FILTER'. Make one or buy one from any parts store for $12. Dealer sells it for $22. No more dust on dash board. It filters pollen. Same filter as the RAV4, replace every 15 to 20,000 miles.

sounds like you bought it with some of the stuff though it seems nearly impossible you had it a month and did all that. Either Someone has a very good job or very wealthy parents. Looks good though. I live not far from ya we should meet up sometime, or maybe ill see ya on the streets

I really did do this in a little over a month now. Yes I do have a very good job and have purchased the Xb and all the parts myself. Does anyone else have any other ideas for my XB. I am planning on driving this every day, I don't believe in building a car without driving it. If you have any other ideas let me know. I appreciate the input.
