That was quick! Other people talk about "future mods" but never get it done. Wasn't your last thread like a week ago?

VERY nice ride....

I still think the front Scion badge has got to go, but other than that, no complaints here. Good choices on all the mods, it looks super clean!

Very nice-looking xB! I really like the CF rear spoiler. I'd pick one up, but I'm afraid to drill into my car!

It's not that big of a deal honestly, and you'll really appreciate it once it's on teh car...

Thanks for all the great feedback guys, and i know i really need to get wheels spacers for the rear, the sunken battleship look has gotta go IMO... lol....

Not quite sure sure to be honest with you.

love the headlights, thinking about getting a pair myself from bBist... any issues with fogging or cracking ? and how does the light output compare with stock ? tough to do the headlight swap ?

everyone loves a clean car. good work.

Looks good. I am rocking the BSP grille with the Scion emblem. I have tried many other options and I like the emblem.

Any issues on the Sonar housings + HIDs? What brand HIDs did you get?

Very nice. The contrast works great on your color. I like the fact that the black upper grille now flows into the black headlights.
Been thinking of doing something similiar with mine but Im not sure if it would work as well on Envy Green.

I think it would look hot on a envy...... as long as both housing and grille are black, it should look great!

Thanks so much!.... I have only had them since thursday night...... so i haven't realy had them that long at all.... but so far, no issues with anything yet.... but when i got my car washed the day after, just outta the wash the had a lil fog inside here and there..... but by the time i got home, it was gone..... The light output is phenominal..... however i installed the headlights and the HIDs at the same time so i cant speak for them without the HIDs..
As for difficulty level of install..... not too bad.... however, you do have to remove the front bumper in order to get to the lower bolts that mount the lower portion of the headlight..... so that kinda sucked...... but really not too bad...

So far no issues with these housings... mounting was pretty dead on and fitment was really good.... I am running "TechOne" brand 6k..... the kit overall i liked a lot, however, not as easy to install as some other kits i've seen..... the nicer kits will include a plug and play style harness.... but mine did not..... plus with these headlights, you gotta rewire a little in order to get the low beam to work properly because the stock bulb is a H4 where this one is a 9006. That part was not fun at all.... And to top it off, lol, they wired the positive and negative wires that come offa the HID bulbs.... so we kept pluggin them in the wrong way and wondering why they wouldn't turn on.....

I have had no issues with the Sonar lights fogging. The same cannot be said of the halos with three LED lights, which everyone has. The Sonars are a pretty recent release.

The light output is bright, but I did put SilverStars in when I installed mine.
