Allow Me to Introduce Myself

I'm from Louisiana,Port Allen to be exact...I stayed in Okinawa for a year with the Marines, so i got to see first hand some true VIP cars.  And I must say it got me hooked, hence the xB...If I could I'd move back...

Heres some transition pics.  Bought her all stock, with nothing no dealer installed nothing.  I guess except the iPod HU...

I had my projectors and OTG shims waiting for me a week before i got the box, put them on about a week after.

Then about a week later got the Widetracks, with the 50/80mm lips(wanted the 80/120s but was told they wouldn't fit without MAJOR fender mods, but now know they will without major mods) and also a CF OEM style spoiler, and CF hatch handle cover

Then I added a few sets of CC on the inside and in the wheel wells, need 4 more transformers, cause i blew them out, so just the inside ones work
Then i cleared the tails and put blue strobes in them, debadged, then rebadged with KOKUJIN.

Rear wiper removed, reversed rear nozzle so noiw it points up, and reaimed middle nozzle up front so that it now shoots up and over the box

Then foglights and i changed out the third brake light for a LED bar

All I have left to do is i/h/e...eventually want to get a two-tone job...but we shall see.  I've been lurking around here for a couple days, but wasn't gonna sign up until I saw all the other xB/bBs.  I "know" a few of the boxes I've seen, and they are on a couple of other xB/Scion sites i visit...later  tell me what you think...
