Default My PW xB with a couple changes

Well, I have had my car a little over a month and I am getting started on the modding. I hope to have it dropped next, with wheels to follow.

Bah don't whine about dirty engine bay...lol...look at the roads where he is. Drive 3 seconds on those and your engine will be dirty. If many roads near you look like that you might want to be carefull how far you drop it, especially if you are thinking about any kind of lip kit. A couple of those chuckholes near your box might eat my lip at a 2" drop!!!

White is a good color for dirt Would be worse if it was any of the near blackish Scion colors. Hey I know repaint the car Mud Brown then it won't be as much bother.

Welcome to the family!

Gorgeous white box. Best of luck on the mods.... And as for dropping it, best of luck dodging potholes. Dropped boxes look gr8 but are such a b!tch when it comes to bumps n potholes. I own a stock xB here in NYC and I am constantly dodging potholes so large, if i hit them, i wouldn't be heard from ever again...

Thanks again everyone for the compliments.. As for the roads.., they are not really like the one I was on. I always go to that same spot for my pictures. I had my Nissan Altima dropped in the past and I loved it. I really can't wait to sit the xB a bit lower. Here's the pics of my previous cars in the same location.

Second Car:



My current car (xB):
