gona have to go with eww, sorry.

 

+1 i dont like it either

 

I'm selling an XD exhaust tip for cheap, if you are interested. It'll look like you have a custom exhaust.

I do kinda like the exhaust tips... they look decent without the (sometimes) obnoxious roar. I have a TRD one.


PAINT!!!

I'm a painting FREAK! For like, $20-30 you can do the door trim, dash trim, and I did my engine cover/fuse box covers. Just one hint: do NOT use Krylon (at least your first time). It is the biggest pain in the ****!!! Drips like you wouldn't believe!!!

Dash trim:


Door trim:


And the engine cover:



*Note: the nickel color is hand-painted on. The yellow was all sprayed.


I did a decent write-up on how to do it a while back (when I did it for the 2nd time):

Actually, check in the DIY section on Scikotics. There's some in there. Like candying your tails and debadging.

 

Why... would you want an amber turn signal area? That's..., sorry I have nothing nice to say

 

*shrug* Not my style either, but I suppose some like the look.

 

Same here... I prefer going E-code all the way around.

 

I actually got springs for $130 that gave it a solid 2" drop, but you'll need a friend with spring compressors for the front. Tint... I know you can buy the pre-cut stuff online for $30-ish.

Seriously, design an armrest. One that has some storage room. There's one on E-bay but (to me) it looks too boxy to be in the sexy, curvy xD!

I want to work on designing one so I can still use my Ebrake AND the back cupholder. We'll see if it's possible. I want to cover it in CF... EEEEE I'm getting mod fever now!!!

 

the Zeta arm rest has storage, has curve, and allows for ebrake use...

 

Personally I think that one is hideous and waaaay overpriced... that's the one that goes in the back cupholder. I didn't think that one had storage?

 

door prop rods, for shows...

im pretty sure we had this chat before asylum too, on scikotics... i got my zeta for around $50 shipped on ebay. it does go in the center cup holder. it does have storage and it does give you another cup holder to replace the one you have to sacrifice to add it.

 

That's way cheaper than I saw it 'released' for or whatever. On another site they were charging like, $130 for it. But yeah, I wish I would have looked at it in your car... considering you WERE parked right next to me. haha

 

yeah, i already looked (when i made that last post) and i dont have any pics of it on my computer, ill take some for ya soon and post em.

 

Uhm... the iST armrest works just fine and has a flip down cupholder on the back of it. I can use my ebrake just fine, I just have to grab it differently. The price is well worth it since it matches the xD interior and flows better than the Zeta armrest.

I think the Zeta cupholder is the spring clamp style, right? The iST actually has a base to the cupholder instead of just arms to it. I could be wrong, correct me if I am

 

you are correct on the cup holder style. but isnt the top of the iSt arm rest plastic? i prefer padding of some sort, the leather doesnt look that bad with all the material. and every one ends up getting clazzios anyway. lol.

 

Not everyone ends up getting Clazzios.

It is plastic, but I don't notice that it is plastic. I don't care about comfort for my arms as much as I do for my ****

 

Installed Spectre Intake last night...Cheap and easy install...Here is a quick pic:

 

customxbgauges.com has some fun cheap mods for the xD

 

I was taking apart my intake just to see how easy it was and I had troubles separating my MAF/IAT (it's a combined sensor, right?) sensor from the intake box. Is there a secret to it? I just didn't want to force it and end up breaking the sensor
