doens't look good in those pictures.

if i had a lip kit on my tc, i would scrape it every week. so if you plan to drop your box, it could be a liability. yeah i know there are lots of lowered people with lip and body kits who don't scrape and drive carefully, but i know me, and i'll forget one day and mess it up royally.

and if you have bad luck, and your box gets hit in a parking lot, it can really mess things up.

yanges,

I don't mean to offend, but you seem to make a new thread for every question you have. There have to be 10+ threads on the five axis lip kit, as it is th only currently available kit. Most of the threads you start to be something that has been answered many times before. Would you mind trying a search before starting a thread?

i know i have been overdoing it a little, i am just really excited about having an xB again [see sig] after the past few years of waiting...

i will be more diligent in trying to search first, but a lot of times so much comes up in searches and i still do not find what i need

do you think it would look strange on an xB that was not lowered but had nice size wheels and tires? that was what i was thinking about as i probably will not lower my xB...

well, lip kits or ground fx kits are used alot to create the illusion that the car is lower than it really is, like my mom's old 96 camaro rs. but man, she dragged her factory ground fx so often it was a total nuiscense. don't know if that car is lower than the xb2, but after what she kept going through with that ground fx kit, i figured it was a complete waste and not worth the trouble.

as for big wheels, i don't like them because they don't help performance very much.
