Default xB = GQ

Says who? I do and I'm sure other people feel the same way.
Nuff said. So keep your xB clean to match the style. I don't want anyone misrepresenting what the xB stands for. So it might be a little cheap and it's no Maserati or Range Rover but put a few simple classy mods on it and it says a lot about the owner. I think a ride expresses a lot about the sense of style the owner has. My xB is without a doubt GQ.......

Agreed! I got my xB in BSP with two tone leather, tinted it up and tossed on some 18" chromes. I think it's pimp! Just the right amount of classy and sporty. When chicks get in my car they think I paid a lot more.

I never "race" anyone or rev up my loud ___ exhaust (don't have one) I just cruise in style and watch the heads turn.

The only mod I really want is the factory NAVI. That would set it off just right!

I am sorry if this sounds stupid, but what does GQ mean? :?

I knew that there was a magazine named GQ, but do the letters "GQ" have a meaning?

it really focused on cologne advertising, and expensive clothes. Kind of feminized guys. Not very practical, would have been better if GQ had articles on how to properly use a jigsaw or belt sander.

BTW- I wouldn't say the xb is "GQ", maybe more like consumer reports meets sport compact car (is that mag still around?)

Doesnt really feminize guys...if you have read it it's about politics, movies, technology, yeah some clothes in the very back, better sex and other things that all mens magazine touch on...you want a magazine about belt sanders and hacksaws go to the home depot magazine rack..it's better than criticizing a magazine that was never aimed at that audience.

Honestly you were better off not getting any of the above from your dealership because its way more expensive from them. The only good thing about it is you can finance all of that stuff. Find an authorized katzkin dealer in your area to install it...should run you around $1000 depending if you go 2 tone, piping, suede (etc.). Only reason I financed all my stuff is because I am a salesman at the dealership and I got a nice price on it from my rep

you should check out katzkin. I think most(or all) of their stuff are covers that go over the seat, but they have a good selection.

I actually got mine in Cali (Keyes Scion) and the two-tone leather upgrade, which is under warranty, was only $1300. No complaints here!

Althoug the car is far from expensive, I do feel that it has an expensive look when you do certain things to it. I have 225 40 18 tires on old school 3 piece Racinghart rims and they look massive on the small frame. The car looks chunky with a strong stance and the 2" drop just makes it look better. I also have 6000K HID lights on it and it's so darn cool to approach an intersection and the white lines on the road just come alive as if they were neon lights. I only drive mine on sunny days with no chance of rain, so it stays always perfectly clean. I wish it didn't have factory tint, I would like to have a really light bluish tint on all the windows, it would look perfect on the white sheetmetal.
