Once i get the coilovers dialed in to the exact stance, I'll figure out how much of a spacer I'll need for the rear wheels to sit slightly tucked in the rear. The front wheels are pretty nice the way it sits right now, I'd drop a 5-10mm in the front if anything at all, we'll see once we dial in the height and camber.
Maybe next year we'll go w/ an anno'd pink face, but for now we're going to stick w/ the matte black face and pink lip.

this is what i'm talking about....
the one i'm talking about isn't in this picture but there's this orange spray bottle from Smartwax that's called SmartONE which is a waterless car wax & sealant in 1. I like that stuff.....
here' are some other pics.....

Now I dont consider the xB / bB a car whose owner would focus so much on chasis and suspension work, realistically what do you think you'd like to see made by Cusco and at what price range.

of course the box isnt a great platform for a racer but i would just like more options.. i just want some stiff coils so that the car feels like it can carry its own weight through the corners.
if cusco would come out with the coilovers i would gladly fork the 1000 for the Comp-S Normal coilovers and 300 or so for front strut bar and if they can develop a sexy rear strut bar also...

I normally don't like cars that look like some kids toy, which is what theat style is.
However, you really pulled it off well. I dig that pink look to the box. That stripe along the bottom of the windows is very nicely done. Just the right clor blend as well.
You need to do something with the taillights though. Sticks out far too much.
I'd say its also begging for a VG Shark fin antenna.
