Default *Few new changes:shaved hatch, rolled fenders, 25mm spacers*

Firstly, I got rid of all my OTG stuff. I got out of the 'camber club' before it got too played out. Don't get me wrong, I liked the shims and they were top quality but it was time for a change. So I got some H&R 25mm studded spacers for the rear and I am very pleased with them. They are super high quality and I have peace of mind with a name like H&R. With my 25mm spacers and 16x9 +30...that works out to be a +5 offset. The rear wheels stick out just as much as the front now so the spacers even it out.

Secondly, I rolled my fenders(and pulled them unintentionally). This was not as easy as I had hoped and a cracked my paint pretty bad. So I decided to just get them retouched at the body shop and while they were at...they could shave my rear wiper/nozzle. Its not like it works well or anything. I think it looks so much cleaner without the wiper and nozzle. Plus it gives me the euro look i'm going for.

Tell me what you think!

Looking good! I've said it before and I'll say it again, those NKBs are the ish!

And yes, the camber IS getting played out, and I maybe ready for a change also. Some peeps just don't have the right/correct flow or theme and they throw the camber in it?

Your xB has the right flow, and the camber DID look good on it.

Keep up the good work!

Perhaps it's just me. I've never like showing more lip than tire however, it works on your ride. Like the candy and the shave is very sweet. I'll have to shave mine eventually, but for now, tapped tubing and wire harness removal will have to do.

Looks great, i think i perfered the camber look but this does give it a great stance with the rims.

Matt, it looks great! The H&R spacers are hubcentric, right? How about the wheels?

Also, the trunk looks nice shaved, but it looks bland now... But I definitely like the subtle raked look.

Thanks! Yes, the H&Rs are hubcentric and I also have 54.1mm to 73mm hubcentric rings so everything is nice, tight and vibration free.

how much did it cost you to shave the rear wipers off??? Wouldn't they have to have repainted the entire hatch as well???

Looks good.

However, I do not think camber is getting "played out." I have never seen a singel VIP-style car in real life. Then again, maybe in Cali, they're rolling around everywhere. I do, however, see the impracticallity of a VIP stance (e.g. tire wear).

Your car looks good. Where'd you buy your NKBs?

Wow, supa clean!

That shaved/debadged hatch is awesome. All those xB's are buddys? I'm the only one I know with a box!
