What's up everyone. My name's Ben. Recently bought an xB RS8 and have been having fun with it. Over the next month, once I free up some time, I'll be installing an AFe intake, spoiler (OEM), 19" TRD's, Sharkfin, Tenabe NF's and a Borla single pipe.

More to come with it but that's to get it started. Looking forward to seeing all the ideas on this site. Mostly active with the Scikotics but liking the xB specific site too. Anyway, hi.

welcome fellow RS8 owner. Tartanjack, can we get Voodoo as a color now on the forum? Or is it still fubar? Voodoo is like one of the only colors not on the poll.

Nothing too exciting right now for pics, just the xB without the wheel covers. All those items are on order.

Let's just say its a 2011 in the papers but we all know its really just an old Type 40. :biggrin:

A couple fun edits from today.

 

[TARDIS]

A quick update on mods... No Borla single pipe, sounds like a POS crotch rocket, no thanks. Looking to go with the TRD, sounds nice and has respectable powertrain gains.

Also looking at the Weapon-R 4-2-1 headers and s-pipe since its the only 4-2-1 kit I know of.

Tanabe NF210's are still the plan and going to go ahead and get the Tanabe strut brace too.

Probably going with the Hotchkis sways still.

After that I'll start working on aesthetics. HID Halo's, Killerglass, LED's, etc... Also thinking of either modding the factory hood or getting a carbon vented hood and painting it blue. Not a fan of plain carbon.

Installed the sharfin antenna the other day and got some shots today.

 

[BoxGT1]

Looking sweeeeet!

Thanks, its really a mod that anyone who likes it should do. Its very cheap in comparison and if you can tighten a screw and put a sticker on straight, you can install it.

In addition, I feel like the reception is much better than atleast the factory antenna.
