SO I decided to go for a photoshoot before I decide to sell the stuffs on the xb.
I went to a spot that I accidentally discovered downtown Chicago on one of the days that I was crusing the xb. I went with my friend Famous Pete. He drove the xb while I took the shots. That day I got so much attention that I felt like I was a celebrity or something.
Necks turning, rich ladies coming out to talk about the car. navy chicks admiring it. etc. everybody liked it. The only prob I got was a redneck hustling me.

I was at the luxiourous condos area.

Redneck:would Bush approve of you taking those pics?
Me: actually bush would ask me to take a pic for him
redneck: but you are not a US citizen
me: Of course I am
redneck: did you vote for him?
me: aaaa hmm.
redneck: if you didnt vote for him u are not a citizen
me: (climbing up a stone to take the high shots were you see the top of the xb)
redneck: you have alot of nerve to climb that. you got a smoke or does the owner have one?
me: no i dont and im the owner the driver doesnt have one either.
(shakes hand) Hey im really impressed with the car. NOW spin burn some rubber.

Overal I had fun that day. It only boosted my confidence for that night with the ladies. The fuji was so charming that he got all the attention. YAAAY.

Overal I beleive strongly that the real judges of your cars are not the ones with clipboards at a car show. The real judges are the people who admire your xb by staring, complimenting and saying WHOA nice rims, that is just impressive, that is very nice , etc..... Especially when the gurlz are impressed and they say that like my xb.

I have built the xb since july 04 till oct 15th 05. I'm done for this season. I only missed two mods graphics( sponsor here never shipped) and side marker eyelids that I used the wrong paint.

here is a list of mods top of my head and I will add if i remember later on.

It was fun installing all of these parts. most of them i got them at FUJIZ and others from here and there. Be on a look out, ill be selling some of my parts soon.
With all these mods im surprised I didnt place at any car show that I went to only at BOTI. once again, I beleive its the judges tastes, you win some you lose many.

Lets see what next year brings along.

meanwhile here is the link for the recent shoot and some extra pics. All pics are property of FUJIZ .
