Like I've been saying, if you got an xA, you need drop, wheels, and a lip kit minimally. They look sooooooooo much better that way.

I've seen those wheels somewhere....

What sizes do you run on those? I ran 245 on the rears, and have some rubbing issues. Van always wants me to do like a 225 or 215 and stretch them, but I didn't want to do that.

The rears had to be rolled a bit but we stuck to a 225 in the back on the 9. She good with the stretch though! Indeed it is Fabulous eyelids and spoiler... Van has many, many talents beyond the wonderful world of offsets. Thanks mang!

Yeah I think the xA wasn't given that great a chance to strut it's stuff. It has some great lines and its just as easy to modify as the B! It's still nice to roll in something that is still more obscure than the xB though and as a result gets lots of attention when done right!

Thanks again ppl! We had it on display at the Rochester Autoshow and there were some enthusiast that stoped over to take some pics which was totally cool to see. Lots of love of there for this one...feels good. I wish you could all see it in person! She still needs to be slammed, but I'd give that up for the way its driving right now! No issues what so ever... The only thing I still must do is 3M clear the areas that are in the reach of debris from the wheels hangin out there. ;)

To answer the head light question: You need to first remove the headlights from the car for this project... From thenre just heat the units up around 250 for 15 mins or so(one at a time) and the toughest part of it all is to pull the lens apart (take the orange reflectors out for clear "corners"). My fingers got a little raw after wrestling with these buggers till they came apart. Then go ahead and mask off all the reflector areas that you don't want painted. Once the prep is done you have to carefully degrease the exposed areas (use a mircofiber towel for this paper towels will scratch the sh*t out of the chromed plastic. A couple of quick/light passes of a blue house of kolors kandy and let'em dry a bit between coats (2-3). Heat the units up again to soften the adheisive and stick them back together. Thats it in a nut shell... Good luck to those of you who venture out to do it! I think they came out pretty sweet. This affect would be cool to color match your car or to smoke them with a black kandy...
