Default ****THANKS MV DESIGNZ FOR PIMPIN' MY RIDE****

I wanna take this opportunity to thank Mike Vu and his crew for pimpin' my ride.
You guys did a wonderful job!



Mike Vu owner of MV Designz hit me up and kindly asked me if he could borrow my car for a couple of weeks. As a good friend that I am, I did not hesitate to do so, specially for Mike. 2 weeks has gone by, so I called Mike to see if he was done with using my car and he told me to come by his shop to pick it up.

Man....Was I surprised!!!

He had installed:

Tanabe Springs,
Tenzo R Wheels,
Nitto Tires,
SCION Wing
SCION Illuminated Door Sills,
Smoked Tail lights,
Painted Hood and Front Bumper Insert,
Painted Interior Trims
and
A Full Pioneer Sound System.




Thanks again Mike, Merry and MV Designz Staff.... I love my xB even more know.


BTW, MV Desingz has been responsible for customizing most of the Factory Scion Project you have seen arounf the U.S. Including the xB pick up you see here:

he called you to ask to borrow the car so he could fix it up for you for free? thats a cool deal!

but he took 2 weeks to do that? no offense but I could have done all that within 6 hrs minus the audio pending on how intricate the box setup was.

either way, if he wants to hook up a Supra I got a TT 6spd MK4 he could borrow for a few weeks.

Tinted windows always look best on white. I really like the overall profile of your ride. How the spings you used and the tires and wheels. I'd give you a 10 on that. Gotta have a spoiler. Looks sharp. The idea with the painted hood and dam, I dont like so much. It does give it individuallity. I give it an overall 8! Sweet Ride

The reason it took so long was because it was during SEMA. But I really didn't mind, we have another car.

I do have to agree with you. We were so happy when we bought the xB back in July of 07, there was probably just a few of them on the road. Now, it seems like everyone has one and they are all white! :D

Thanks scrossmaggard!

I really enjoy the new spring and wheels/tires combo. It makes the car handle great! Plus the ride quality still there, I was surprised!

Thanks bego! As for the system, we're using a AVIC head unit with XM, a Pioneer 12 stack changer, Pioneer amps ( 1 is a 2 channel for the sub and the other a 4 channel for the door speakers) Pioneer Component speakers in the front and 6 1/2" four way in the rear, a 12" Kenwood Sub in a seal box. Its perfect because everything is very well concealed.

where did you hide the changer an the amps?
I put my amp under my passenger seat and ran speaker wire to the rear for my sub in case I wanna take the sub out for space and it cam out awesome, I just cant imagine hiding two amps and a changer lol
