Just wanted to introduce myself... (56k maybe)
Been lurking for quite some time around here... Decided its probably time to formally introduce myself and my box.
My name is Matthew, i'm 22 years old, and currently live in Everett, WA. I work as the head tech/shop manager at a local car audio/custom shop.
Anywho, here are some pics of my box... A 2005 Black Sand Pearl xB with ~47k miles, auto trans, Motegi 18" chrome rims, and custom black leather interior, with a heated driver's seat. I will be starting my system build very soon, and will take pics as I go too.
-Here we are, pretty much stock (a couple days after i bought it)-
-Added 8000k true HID headlights, for both hi and low beams-
-Tinted front two windows to match factory tinted rears. (Will be tinting 15% over the rears for more darkness very soon)-
-Tinted the taillights, and debadged rear completely (front & rear sidemarkers have also been tinted since this pic... stickers are all gone too)-
-Added some neat white oznium led's to all 4 doors, shift console, hvac controls, and passenger dash dark area, using oznium factory style Scion switch to control. Installed Pioneer AVIC-F700BT too.
-Replaced license plate lights with white led bulbs, each containing 7 led's. (look much whiter in person)-
-Replaced dome light with white 12 led panel-
-White oznium led strip on drivers door. Also shows matching black leather insert.-
-Rear door, single oznium white led for neat accent lighting. Also shows matching black leather insert.-
Well, I think that ought to properly introduce me n my box. Thanks!

Hahaha.... I know it guys! I need to lower it! I know, I know. 
Just not sure how low to go yet, or what springs to use. I really don't wanna sacrifice what little ride quality I have. I think my 30 series tires aren't helping though.
Anybody have any suggestions? Looking for a very inexpensive spring, that'll lower it approx. 2in(?), and not sacrifice ride quality too much.
Thanks for any input!
Thanks for all the warm welcomes and compliments too!
