xbnerd - socal hfd - for the love of it all!!!

what it be like peeps..... name is casey and I drive a 2009 Scion xB, i have never thought of me being VIPish but I do like to keep it classy.... I havent seen many 2nd gen xBs during my build but I can see a lot of people having the same ideas I have which is awesome.. I am not a car person per say but I am crafty and do it all myself (and I dont know poop about cars) or with one of the homies from our crew.... feedback is always welcomed and wanted so......... enjoy if you like

I bought a set of pretty rough Work Equips but I wanted to rebuild them and make them pretty again.... these 2 are before that was done]

thank you to everyone that looks as I really do appreciate it..... when I started, and oh I am not done, I have never met anyone i the scene and did and still do what I like.... I just thought y'all might like to have a peak ;)

Lookin' good!!!

CLEAN!

Like I told you on clubxB, I dig it!  :biggthumpup:

Thing's ALWAYS clean!  Glad you didn't get rid of the Equips!

Thank you all very much for your comments as i was a bit nervous posting here as i am quite nerdy with my build and everyones cars on here are pretty darn epic. I should have some work done to show off by the end of the month if all goes well. Cheers, Casey

Dude, your putting in work. Looks clean...cant get over those seats, they are amazing.

Yo for knowing nothing about cars u did a dope job....:giggity:

[QUOTE=jason;394037]Dude, your putting in work. Looks clean...cant get over those seats, they are amazing.[/QUOTE]


x2 seats caught my eye. Clean XB.:thumbsup:

nice looking xb2 dude.  welcome to the site!

thank you very much for the positive feedback..... to be honest I wasnt expecting much of it since I dont usually get much at non-scion gathering/events.... I feel very welcomed here... thank you

I have definitely learned a ton the past year and thankfully I am apart of a legit crew that will always guide me in the "how to" process. Having said that I still cant change my own oil hahahahaha :smiley-rofl:

I hope to have some new work done in the coming months to share with y'all.

Cheers - Casey

[IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6091/6352578606_9d4273afab_b.jpg[/IMG]

I would like to relip my 17" Equips but nobody has lips or can make me lips so far....... Wheelflip said they can but there will be a gap, VR said they dont have any lips and a couple others i contacted havent gotten back to me. I am in Socal so if anyone knows someone that has lips, can relip or fix this crushed can i would appreciate any help.... cheers, Casey

I got the lip fixed at LAX Wheel in East LA, damn good work...

I have a few plans for the interior, 6 steps for now, and step 1 was a new dome light or a flush mount chandelier to be exact..... more pics to come

Good shit casey,Represent the crew as always.car is looking good

That chandelier is raw i love it!!!! 

Car looks great normally i don't like roof racks but i think it looked good on your car. Only thing i would do diff is change the face color of your wheels to not black but thats just cuz i dont like blk wheels lol

Thanks I really appreciate the kind words. i liked the rack as well and thought it looked pretty sweet but i wanted to go a different route. I was thinking about redoing the wheels faces to brighter color. I almost, almost had them black chromed when i finally cleaned them up hahahaha

I got a exterior and interior pic in Banzai Magazine in the UK from the Lexus Hot Pursuit event i went to..... this is the first time ive seen pics of my car in a mag so i thought it was pretty cool.
