Street cred

So, I'm finishing my summer project now ;) and i have been kinda cruising the almost finished product around. Basically, I don't have the front bumper on yet. Everything else I wanted to do is done. It's funny here in the Midwest, how I have floored just about anyone even remotely interested in cars. Even the senior citizens get a rise out of my xB! Prolly more than it's target audience! VIP strikes a hard blow to Chicago in a way that only Japan and California knows. Not to toot my own horn, but damn, I put together a sexy car. :smitten: As one fellow Sciontist put it, It's banana's! :D I can't wait to get it to our HIN here the end of this month. I hope I can gain a little recognition here in Chicago finally. But it's that time of the year here and I know there are some projects coming out. I am excited and it finally hit me.

Re: Street cred

I fixed the link, sorry, I hadn't realized I missed the /ride/ part. It's correct now. thanks so far. I haven't added the matching grill yet as I still have some finishing touches to do. But I did fit it and it does complete the car.
as for 18's, Chicago roads are just too rough for that. THey are mostly in bad shape. I have already bumped the front lip a few times driving around.

If I had to do wheels again, I would do the AME Shallen AX with the silver face now that I think about it.

Re: Street cred

I second thought, I hear the AX doesn't come in a four bolt pattern. ??? CX only looks good in 18 and chrome. Specially on white. Brings back memories of the Dipark bB. I like what I have for now. Car still looks better than most xb's around these parts.
