Newb xB out of Dallas

I know I don't have a true VIP platform, but seeing some of the VIP cars in Texas has been a bit of an inspiration for me. I'm staying clean and simple, but with a little bit of VIP style. Noting too big and over the top as it's my daily, but nice wheels, low, and a semi-luxurious interior with rare and true JDM parts is what I'm going for. Signed up to keep the inspiration going and share some pics and maybe get some feedback. Here's a couple pics.

(note, spoiler will be removed once I find an adequate replacement)

Suspension is an air kit I put together myself (going to redo the rear so it sits lower)
Wheels are Wed Kranze Bazreia 17x9 et18f et6r with 205/40 Falken 512 tires

Future plans include wood grain interior pieces and diamond stitched leather interior.

Really nice. Personally, I would go with something other than diamond stitch, since everyone does diamond stitch. But, that is just me.

Hey James, I have seen you car come a long way after you have been posting on bBsquad for some time. The rims make a huge difference, from one Weds owner to another. I am glad to see things coming along for you. I know you said you had SS re-6 on your car, I actually went out and bought those bags after researching the specs sheet. What brackets are you running? Maybe I can help you get lower in the rear...

My roommate is a fabricator. He actually made the brackets for me since he had them, he used to own a B. They are welded in and as low as we could make them without cutting up too much stuff. Also my elbow fitting for the line is at the top because I don't like how exposed it is when it towards the bottom. Most people are able to get quite a bit lower by notching where the spring would usually seat on the beam, but I am going to notch up into the frame and get another 2-3 inches so it sits perfect. Don't need any more than that since the fender will practically be on the lip at that point.
