just another guy with an xB

Hey what's up everyone, my name is Nik. I'm 22 and married. I live on Hill AFB in Utah (not by choice). I am an Air Traffic Controller in the USAF, and I moved to America once again from Okinawa, Japan last December. I drive a 2005 Scion xB rebadged as a Toyota bB, it's not VIP style because I can't afford it. I guess it's more "HellaFlush"? But I do love a lot of your car's styles, and figured I should show you all mine since I've been lurking looking at yours.

Here is my car, Low and Slow status.. I bought it bone stock last December and I did all of the work on it in my garage all by my lonesome.

[QUOTE=brainneeded;363814]bbszero camber shims? looks good! i will hate on the xxr's though.[/QUOTE]

haha i know, i hate having xxr's. it's all i can afford though. i can't afford REAL wheels that are 16x8 +0 or even close..

and the shims were bbszeros when i had -3s.. he's a real cool guy, but i went with -5s after a while from dancar420 cause bbszero doesn't make -5s.

Hi Nik!!!

i [I]think[/I] he does now, but yeah he's real legit to deal with, i have his 20 mm hub spacers. overall though your car flows very well though, wheels remind me of watanabe's.

the lip and stance is spot on.

and here it comes...XXR?!? c'mon man! :)

he may, but last time i talked to him he said he wasn't planning on making 5s. 

thanks man, yeah i love watanabe's.. i wanted some, but legit sized wat's cost 10 times what these did haha
