That is so sweet. The screens look really high quality. If you got yours there, mine is probably at Big Two also. I must call!

I agree the color looks awesome in person. Once I own the car I will bring it out to the next meet.

Default Thats my green xB now

If that was near 19th ave, that is my new Green xB. I bought it early Sunday afternoon. I emailed the dealership Saturday night asking when they planned to get any in, was called at 11am the next morning and drove it home at 5:30pm.
I LOVE IT!!!

Now I did have some questions if anyone can help. I added some accessories (Green LED light kit, Bazooka Subwoofer, Cold Air Intake and the TRD Performance Shocks/Struts, 15" alloy rims), but had some questions.

I initially purchased the shocks/struts thinking they would improve the smoothness of the ride (so bumps didn't feel as rigid/stiff), but I want to make sure I am understanding their purpose (is that what they improve?). I am not really a car guy, so I was making a bit of a guess there.

I haven't had anything installed yet as they had to order the parts. Any advice would be appreciated as to what I should add. What is rockblocker?

the car rides pretty smooth from the factory.. the springs//shocks from the stealership are designed to lower the car, which will do so about 1.25".. not nearly enough to look much different.. it can be lowered for a hell of a lot cheaper, with a better overall look and just as good handeling, if not better.. i picked up some Tein S-tech springs for $180. they lowered the car around 2" and are easy to install! check out www.randode.com if you dont want to intall them!


edit: lowering the car typically makes the overall ride more rough, but it depends on hte spring rates you get, as well the shocks themselves if you replace the stock ones.

Yep! That was def the xB I saw! It looked good. I did a TRIPLE take on Bell Rd because it really caught my eye! I loved it! I was going to stop, but I was in a hurry for school HAHA. Congrats on the buy! Hope to see you at the next Scionetics meet!

Rockblocker is a clear film to protect your paint and headlights/taillights etc from rocks, dirt, etc www.rockblocker.net and he is auctally in our little "un"club Scionetics as RockBlocker (is his scionlife name)
