Default new XB owner

hello all, i'm a new owner. i got a white xb with the rear bumber opeque, blue accent interior lighting, and rear spoiler options. a few questions for you guys/gals....

1. does anyone make vent visors for the windows? those little smoked looking attachments that allow the window to be down a little without rain coming in.

2. has anyone bought the power enterprises supercharger kit? opinions compared to Blitz? i'm leaning towards it as it will be much easier to add an intercooler too.

3. what is the best offset for wheels on this car to have them stick out but not rub when lowered.


Well, nice to be a part of the forum! thanks,
Shaun

Congrats

1. Yes they do, not sure where to get them. Check the store here on the site though.

2. Not sure, haven't heard this name passed around yet.

3. Not sure about this either.

Congrats.

1. E'Sam makes the "Vent Visor", Also Lund Industries is prototyping them.

2. I've only heard that it existed, & nothing further.

3. Under the "Tread & Butter" section, you'll find a "Sticky" with all of this info.

welcome and congrats....


there is a forum search feature that could prove usefull (top right of screen)

from what little i know i'll do me best...

1. currently the only ones are JDM ones and they are costly (199 and up. set of four). if you can wait there will be others.

2. the PE vs. Blitz, nobody has really done dynotests and published the results. i know there is one person on this board that did a blitz setup and he claims to have gotten only 12 hp (don't think its right). i have not heard of any numbers from the PE setups (munafature says noticeable increase).

3. this is a can of worms and you should look into the search features. this will depend on rim width (7 or 7.5), tire size, rim size (15, 16, 17---20). generally i thinks 40 et was the number most passed around. also, to get the front and rears to get out as close to the fenders, the rears will need spacers or a different offset than the fronts.

i know this does not really help, but i gave it my best microsoft answer (informative but not really usefull)

To save some time, here is a link to the FAQ on wheel/tire fitment.

I can tell you that I'm running 16X8 with a 38 off set, tires are 55 series and I get no rubbing and the ride is damn nice.
