just picked up my indigo ink xa last night and it is frickin’ beautiful! i took a risk and bought this color sight-unseen, because it looked cool in photos. i was a little worried that it might be too bright blue, but it turned out to be better than i could have ever imagined. it was well worth the four weeks i had to suffer waiting for it to be delivered to the dealer – they “claimed” something about it being a hard color to get. i know PGP is often mentioned as the people’s fav, but IIP is tops in my book! gotta get some pics posted…

I heard that it is a hard color to get also, did you get a manual?

The blue is wicked. I didn't get a chance to see the blue until I had already chosen the gray. I am very happy with the gray, but the blue would have been my first choice if I had seen it up close. Especially at night the blue is the perfect shade to take in light and produce pure sweetness.

I pick my scion up in 14 hours! My wheels are on on order so I wont have the full monty until thursday or friday, when I will post pics of my new love.

it “was” an auto, and it sure looked sweet. alas, doesn’t matter much now. just smashed it up this morning on 85 here in san jose. i will say one word of warning to all. the bumpers on the xa aren’t worth the cheap plastic they are made of! haden’t even made my first payment on it yet.

No prob. How low do you think you will go?
I am thinking about 1.5. I think I could do the install myself, but compressing the strut springs might be a pain.

Haven't thought about tinting yet.

Mid-May, I should be able to buy springs because I need to cancal my other phone first, but I can't find any good place for tints (charge way too much). Yeah, I'm installing the springs myself too, if you get your springs the same time, wanna do it together? I think the S-Tech is about 1.9 inch and that's fine because the Xa is too damn high for me.
