OK, so I've been looking at everybody else's cars here the last few months, and I figured maybe it was time to show mine off. I know its not the radical show ride that a lot you "younguns" have got, but I love it just the same...
Those are Borbet Type S 15x7 wheels, BFG G-Force Sport tires, lowered about 2 1/4" with InTrax springs, with Koni yellow adjustables.
I humbly submit for your approval:

I really wish those borbets came in black...
I like it. Plus, 40MPG? Can't beat that.

prboyxb · 03-29-2007, 10:03 PM

perfect!!!!!!!!!!

Good job man. Nice stance, and I really dig those wheels.

Romanova · 03-29-2007, 10:45 PM

Haha! Borbets are so euro that it hurts. You never see people rocking Borbets anymore. If I could find a decent set of Borbet Type As I'd be in business. Your box looks good. Ditch the chrome tail covers, rear badge, and switch to a bB front badge and you would have the perfect ride! ;)

Guamsilverbox671 · 03-29-2007, 11:17 PM

Lookin good, BTW what are you using to cover the hole from the rear wiper? Thats a good place to put a camera.

black_sand_box · 03-30-2007, 03:27 AM

Nice ride. Very clean.

Hey, thanks guys! I'm a little surprised at all the positive feedback - being of the ::ahem:: "older" generation of Box drivers, I'm much more into a clean, smooth look, and I thought it might be too plain for you younger guys' tastes.

I love 'em. I've had several sets, on all types of cars. You can't beat 'em - German quality, light weight, AND good lookin'!

Actually, that's the factory satin-silver painted tail light garnish. I kind of like it because it subtley gives a different look without going to the aftermarket lights.
As for the badge, I kind of like that, too! Obviously, I removed the xB badge, but I like the symmetry of the Scion symbol there.
That, and always being the "impertinent individual"!

As for the other comments:

The plug I used for the wiper arm hole is from Lowe's (I'm sure Home Depot has the same). They're in the same drawers that other people have snagged those chrome hole plugs. This one is a 1" plug, and is an opaque white. Its designed for just a slightly smaller hole than the actual hole, so I sealed it with clear silicone. Being slightly transparent, when mounted up against the TCM paint, it nearly blends in. I thought it was a better match than a big chrome dot back there.

Thanks for noticing the stance. That took some playing with. I ended up using staggered sized tires (and - yes, I know - larger than the 15s most of you guys are running) of 205/55-15 front and 205/60-15 rear. I wanted the right look AND something a little "beefy" looking. I think I'm still going to grab a set of "onetongarage" spacers for the rear to push them out juuuusssst a little. Other than that, I'm really happy with it, and the thing handles like its on rails. It always amazes me the cars it spanks on canyon roads and through corners!

And thanks again, guys and gals! :D

Hey man really nice box! But i have to go against your theory......I am 22 and am going for just a really clean look! I will have pics up within the week but i have 15's and lowering springs on my polar white box and just a mild pinstripe that follows the entire body line, very clean and grabs the eye but doesnt hurt the eye! So i am the opposite i guess of the stereotype!

BoxOffice · 03-30-2007, 09:17 PM

...yeah, I guess that could be interpreted as an unfair stereotype.

So, that said, I heartily apologize to all you Un-Blinging-Under-30 types!

And thanks for the compliment - I'll be looking for your pics when you toss 'em up!

wickedxb · 03-30-2007, 09:44 PM

Thanks man! Just wanted to be noticed! LOL Just messing around but no prob on the compliment the box looks really good and much more of what i like on the box instead of these extreme looking boxes! I like to look at them but i just think ours are more pratical for driving purposes on a daily basis!

prboyxb · 03-30-2007, 11:58 PM

nice and clean same as me less is more

1epoXyBox · 03-31-2007, 01:09 AM

Nice and clean. I happen to like the cleared tails with the garnish, gives it a unique look I haven't seen on many other boxes.
