Saw this on Ebay this morning and was wondering if it belonged to a member:

Man I hope not. That thing is ugly although I do like the leather seats. The plate is funny too.

 

them wheels are nasty (and that DOESN'T mean good), i'd take the seats tho fo sho!

 

seats are bad ****, i would love a set of them in my box, i haven't seen this box on the site, but a lot of members remain dormant and just use the site for tech related purposes.

 

Not liking the wheels on that. He might want to relist the car with the stock wheels and sell the 19s separately.

 

those wheels are no help

 

I like it

 

gross

 

After some of the downright ugly cars I've seen on this site I'm surprised this one is being met with such distaste....

Go figure...

 

It's not that the box itself is ugly, but there are things that a lot of us aren't into, like the 19's, but other than that it's nice, I love the seats, not a fan of the headlights but those can be changed for next to nothing, and if it had smaller rims, or different style of rims it would appeal to a wider audience.

 

Hope that reserve is set low low low, i mean...$5000 should be very close to it with that mileage.

 

Yes, it's a nice, clean looking, xB... there are a few things I would change to make it look better.

1. The wheels must go. They don't flow with the look. I don't know what it is that sets it off, but it's bugging me.

2. Chrome billet grill. I've never seen one installed that didn't look like it had a fitment problem. Not to mention, that amount of chrome doesn't go too well with a TCM (personal opinion).

3. The drilled/slotted rotors need to go... either go with dimpled or grooved... just not drilled or slotted.

4. The headlights don't go well. I would change them out for a black pair or take it back to OEM look. Overall, it either needs more chrome or less chrome... not half-arsed.

5. Tails... cool, good upgrade from the hideous stock... but would be nice to have a decent (sic any?) backup light.

6. Is that the CEL light I see lit up on the dash?

7. The interior is awesome. I'd remove the multi-point power plug (mount that in the glove box or under the seat) and get some sort of leather cover for the armrest. That armrest sticks out like a thore sumb. Also, there are some missing trim pieces.

That's my overall take on it. I'm sure I could find more issues I have with it. The shot taken in the evening looks pretty good (I think it hides all the issues I have with it except for the awkward wheels). Keep this in mind though... it's his style, not mine. As we all know, everyone is entitled to my opinion.

 

Nope, its the 4ways and 'brake' light, look at the pic from the back seat... the seller is sitting on the side of the road somewhere...

its too high to be the CEL

 

Thanks for the clarification on that Don. My box is in the shop for some body stuffs, otherwise I'd run out and do a checksee.

 

He doesn't mention having the clutch replaced??

 

No prob... as many of you know me and my CEL are good friends, I even see it in my dreams

 

why? the clutches on these cars hold up.... I sold mine at 126,XXX with original clutch in great shape and the new owner 3 mos later has no problems... I know because I talk to them... I would expect the clutch to lat to 150, XXX plus based condition
