First of all, wtf is with the typing? This isn't MySpace so keep it normal, and your profile also says you're a guy, you might want to change that.

The only xA's that I've seen which I like are slammed to the ground. Meaning 2" or more. It evens up the bumper in the rear IMO.

There isn't much you can do for power if you are going N/A, but if you go F/I, then you can turbo or supercharge your egg.

Of course it's all a matter of your opinion.

I wasn't getting "mean and nasty" I was just telling you that no one appreciates that kind of type, or caps lock. It's just not very good forum etiquite.

I'm not sure what you actually asked in the first post, but it looks like you just got an IIP xA. Good choice, I have one too.

As far as modding it, you need to kind of figure out how far you want to take it. As in, do you want to be a full show car all the time, or just change the appearance a little. I've done both, and the reason I ask is when I had my accord, it was just appearance changing. I wasn't really into the shows that much. I still went to them, but I wasn't as serious about them. As a result, I didn't get the top-of-the-line products. And I wasn't picky about how it looked, as long as it was the style I liked.

But with the xA, I am much more into the shows and much more serious about what I put on my car. So now, I do a lot of research on the products, and I'm not afraid to spend a lot of money on something that is superior to the $19.95 Pep Boys/Shucks/Napa brand. Example, it took me 3 months to figure out what rims I wanted, and then another 4 months before I actually got them. And while I spent a lot of money on them, it's probably the best thing that I have purchased for the car so far.

So, I think if you can decide where you want to go with the car, it will make it easier for you to decide where you want to spend your money.

Good luck with it. And most importantly, have fun.

In the humble opinion of a tC owner, I'd go all-show, baby. You xA'ers and xB'ers have beautiful platforms to pimp out your rides with some serious badbutt stuff. TV's, speaker setups, and of course air-ride suspension setups. I bought my tC to be all-go no show, so if i can live vicariously through, I will

I'd hit up your club members for great ideas and pics of their stuff, and hit local meets to see it in person. Ask lots of questions, but use the SEARCH button even more

Good luck to you!

Thanks for helping me out, i got my IIP xA today and i am so happy, i waited 5 wks for it to come in, i feel like i was waiting my life. Anyways the first thing i am going to do is tint the windows, maybe next month, when i have some extra cash.

Then when the summer rolls around, so will my rims and new tires. I have been doing alot or research, looking for the right set of rims. I am not sure what to go with yet, i like plain yet sophisticated rims, 5,6, or 7 spoke at the max! I like gunmetal or hyper black. I think they'd look the best on a blue xa. I'll keep this site posted as i get some pics and add some mods.

Mine are gold. And about 8540 spokes. hahaha.

There are a few people out there that have gunmetal rims. That was actually my original color choice. It'll look good.

Yeah. I actually still have them right now, but my thread got deleted and I just haven't re-posted them. It's going to be really tough to sell those though. There aren't too many cars that they will fit on. Oh well...Im not in any hurry to sell them.
