i just got my balck sand pearl xb on Sat and don't have the scratch to do any mods yet, but I am planning to go to the green theme on the 18th. I don't want to look like a loser in my new car. I did take the old lady hubcaps off and removed my emblems and painted the front emblem black to match the rest of the paint. Is anyone else pretty much stock?

There are quite a few stocks, or nearly stock, you know if you didnt want to do anything to it at least lower it and rock the bB hubcaps, they look clean like that, that how i was rolling for about a week. the drop is almost a must on the xB's

I saw your BSP, looked good to me. The Green Theme is a customer appreciation event so stock is great. Having mods doesn't make anyone a better person, come have fun nobody will care how much is done to your car, the Scion community is a great group of peeps and there are a lot of them expecting soon too, so your no loser.

I do want to lower it about 2", but like I said, no flow right now. With the down payment and my preggy wife and blah blah blah.

I do know that when I lower it I would like to get some red springs. Does anybody know who makes them in red?

and what are the bB hubcaps? Are they the stock hubcaps? I'm just runnin the steelies right now b/c they are black, but my wife hates it, she says it is "ghetto".

Lets see I was stock for about 3 months on the xB. And I am still stock with my xA going on 3 months. Tuition and medical bills are kicking my A@@. Anywho I doesn't matter if you are stock or modded just come join the fun. If a geek like me can hang with these peeps then we know you can. There are a couple of couples that are expecting so she's welcome to join the fun.

the bB hubcaps are the ones with the circles or as they are called the phone dials or whatever. they have a scion emblem on there, if you take them off behind it is the bB stamp. I have some at home from my xB althought i dont know if the wife would want to let them go.

As far as the prego wife, dude i totally feel the pain, i have 3 lil girls and modding 3 cars, is HARD as heck. hahahaha. ohh well.

ohh and red springs, i thnk that eibach are red, or the H&R race springs, ill suggest the Tanabes Df210s though.

aerospeed springs are red

dfwaltima

^^ aint aerospeed also pretty bouncy.

if you have to have red, you can paint which ever ones you buy.

konsumer

Well I'm gonna come, I just didn't want to stick out like a sore thumb and people wonder, "what's he doing in there?"

I don't know If I wanna paint em, might be too much work, unless I can get em powdercoated pretty cheap.

Frank, do you work during the day? Where?

dfwaltima

Dude, honestly i painting, powder coating the springs might be a lil waste of money, is not like they are that noticeable. LOL.. but thats just me.

you can go to www.topkoat.com!

they do great work and all i paid for my strut bar was $75...

and yea! stock rocks!

CBucher

There ain't no shame in stock. My car is barely above the stock level. As far as lowering goes the Tanabe springs rock. We pay 140 plus tax and they are a 2" drop.

whatmovesu

^^^ yeah used you can find them for anywhere from 40-90 bucks

PIMP

Yeah I work during the day, I have a business up in N Garland near 190. I live real close to the Firewheel Town Center.
You can only see the rear springs, but don't buy for color only, unless you know it is a good spring. They can be rough as heck if you get poor ones.

I have the Tanabe's 2.2 in front and 2.0 in the back is a smooth ride. I like them
