Noob here, but check out my xA!
 
3 weeks after buying my xA, here's what it looks like. Of course, the first thing I did to TRULY make it mine was stick my ubiquitous Skinny Puppy decal on it. (Every car I've owned since '89 has had one.) Oh, and of course a Suicide Girls sticker. :) Then I installed an iPod device that lets me control it from the stereo (rendering the 6 disc CD changer obsolete, really). Then I installed a center armrest that fits perfectly. Then came the koi fish seat covers. Then the flying eyeball on top. Last night, I finally got my RAD wheels installed. My friend's cousin owns a wholesale wheel warehouse, so I got an amazing deal on them. ($800 installed!)

Take a look-see!

I have the rear hatchback spoiler coming in the mail today. I'm also waiting for the floor mats and the rear bumper appliqué.

The final thing I'm doing to it is lowering the suspension about 1 1/2 inches, just so the new wheels will fit better in the well. Look at the close-up, and you'll see what I mean. Oh, and I'm gonna make sure the springs will be powdercoated white since they'll be visible.

Once that's done, my car will be complete…for a while! What do ya think?

that looks clean man keep up the good work.

Dont waste the money on the powder coating, buy the DF210's, they come in white and they will lower the car 2" which will eliminate all the wheel gap that you have.. the car looks good.

Great advice. Thanks! Those are cheaper than the Eibachs I was going to get. I think once I lower the suspension, this car will look dope as hell.

def. the DF210's are a nice drop and make the car look so sweet.
