Looks sick man!

good job man on the xb2.... love the speaker in the c-pillars was that hard and how is the sound now ...........very interested.

 

They're not easy, but they're not difficult. You just have to be patient, because it takes a long time. They sound good, I just wired it into my rear door speakers, so they're not super loud. I would need to invest in another amp for that. the most difficult part is getting the right size wood/plastic for the speakers to mount onto.

 

So how you like the wheels?

 

I love them. they're a rougher than my old wheels, but I kind of like the way they feel.

 

Yeah anytime you go with smaller rubber you're going to get a rougher ride. You'll get uwsed to it after a little while.

 

Where did you get the headlight tint

 

^^ Im almost positive he took them apart and painted them. :yes:

 

I tinted the outside, using VHT Nightshades from O'Reily autoparts. I later painted the chrome black to make it even darker.

 

looks awesome mate and the wheels are really good too

 

The chrome on the wheels never grew on me, so I picked up some Plasti-dip at Lowes and went to work. I like the finished product a lot better. Sorry about the crappy iPhone picture.

 

So it was a good project? My friend and I have thought about doing his F-150 wheels like that.

 

well, the chrome was a plastic insert that was held in by screws, so i took out all the inserts and painted them. it's holding up fine, and was really easy, so i guess it would work on your friend's wheels.

 

Alright thanks man. Looks good btw.

 

Yeah, and thanks. I do have a question to anyone that has a TRD CAI, one of my clips on the bottom of the filter thing fell off, know where I could get a replacement?

 

New Strup headers, and Strup exhaust.

 

Love the underhood except the power connection for the amp. If you decide to compete in a sound show, you would be disqualified for fusing the power wire more than 15 inches in length from the battery. I always do a circuit breaker at less than 10 inches. other than that, just extremely jealous over the headers.

New Strup headers, and Strup exhaust.

 

That's awesome. How does it all sound together?

You plan on lowering it ever?

 

It sounds good. I didn't like the sound of the headers at first. It reminded me of the sound of a diesel volkswagon car. But I really like it now with the exhaust.
The Weapon-R S-pipe should be here in about a week, and i'm hoping that should make it sound even better. I ordered it all at the same time, but they sent me the S-pipe that went with their header and not with the stock header, so it wouldn't fit.

I don't, the roads aren't very flat here, so I'll probably keep it stock height.

 

Nice man that's cool.

I'm more than likely staying stock height too. Haven't studied to roads in Oklahoma that closely yet, but around here I wouldn't want to lower it.

 

plus, if I lower it, I don't think it will clear my Rhino Ramps to change the oil.

 

I installed Tanabe NF's and it clears my Rhino Ramps. Plus I get a lowered look, but not low enough that I have problems with all the potholes in NY!

 

Ah good point.

 

 

Met up with some tC guys from ScionLife today. here's some pictures:

Love the car and the mods you have done to it.......don't care for the snow on the xB though!!! That is one reason we left New Hampshire for sunny Florida. Less potholes too! Enjoy your sweeeet ride and keep sharing pics!
