Look at this mod!

Hey, I'm an XA guy, but thought I'd wander over and show you this. Also found out this episode is airing/reairing on March 11 on DIY...

http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/shows_..._45327,00.html

kind of extreme, but interesting.

x2 that's extreme

I could never cut a hole in my box.

With that big hole, they should make 2 pieces of bread out of cardboard or something and stick them out the top. Then it would really look like a toaster!

It's a show called Tricked Out, its on a channel called DIY Network. I don't know what's included in your cable package, you may get it, or may not...you probably know someone who does

full out moonroofs were huge when scions first came out. but due to flexing and major leaking the manfacturers stopped production. the concept is amazing but without reinforcement its unrealistic less you live where it doesnt rain at all.

Can this really be done? It certainly looks cool, but is it safe?

Either your taste of cars has changed, or your going, well, down in life.

Both...ha ha My taste varies quite a bit...oh and buying a two seater convertable 3 months before my wife found out she was pregnant was well...priceless

So I became more family oriented. Not to get off topic but here is a pic of my old ride

Yea...I had to compromise besides I could have 3 xB's for the price i was paying for that puppy.

Needless to say I'm happy for the lower car payment and a ride I still enjoy
