I can't do anything but nod at the pictures. I'm sitting here, at my desk at work, nodding at my computer.

Congratulations. It looks absolutely sick and I'm glad the 5Axis lip still lays.

This sh*t laaaays. :D

at least you didnt look like an idiot.. i spent most of saturday morning before the front and side lip went on under the rear staring at the whole setup.. my bro just stood there waiting for me to crawl out and put the rest of the lip kit on..

he was sooooo tempted to just dump the rear and have the air tank crush my face so that he could return to owning everyone on world of warcraft or whatever game he plays nowadays

This setup is just full of WIN! Much more than others. :D

I actually called K-Sport today to see if they'll be doing a bag/coilover setup for the new xB's. I guess they've received quite a few emails about it.

So hopefully! :D

its a mount kit that screws into the tow hook hole.

little expensive cause everything is machined to order. good build quality and pretty cool idea

i dont know about the airbags. the airbag light is on on the dash and and the passenger indicator panel.

these are s2000 seats and the seat mounts were chopped up and modified to lift the seats and mount them properly to the floor.

i dont know if the airbags work or not. just that the light came on. i would think that the airbags still work regardless if the sensors read or not.. and you lose the side airbags from the stock seats.

hmm now thats something to think about as far as a future upgrade... if you decide to put the stock seats back in will the side airbags retain again
