your xb is well executed ..Just Say No to those roof racks tho..looks so much cleaner without

finally got started on the seats. i only did the front as i have to relocate my amp and reconfigure the rear cargo area to move the air tank so i can do the back seats.

And they are really comfortable to.  Shawn, I've got some ideas for the hatch that will flow with the style and organize and highlight everything.  I let you know at the meet on Thursday.

thank you all for the kind words and yes i love the gatlings. they are 100% original and though id like deeper lips i just have a hard time changing them. ill prob just put some stretch and spacer to get them flush. i also removed the "Hustler" print on the door panels and will be switching to leather soon (prob when i do the headliner and pillars).

You got one clean looking xB, keep it up. Later.

more pics to come now that the rears are installed.

Thats a pretty dope wheel setup on your ride Looks good :biggthumpup:

I like it... this is one of those instances where I dont mind these type of wheels so much... GL.

thanks guys. i actually thought the wheels were kinda ugly when i first saw them on the car i got them off of. i decided to give em a try since the face is really close to the color of the body and when i put them on i instantly fell in love with them. i especially like that i dont go to shows and see 3-4 other people rockin em. i still need to put on some stretch and spacers to get them to sit where i want em

couple rolling shots on the way to "best of the west 3" show. i placed 3rd in my class.

Bagged or static?

on bags. i wanted to stay static but if i did i wouldnt be able to get into my driveway lol

crap cell pix but...i worked on my trunk area a lil today. i was tired of removing the tank and everything to get to my valve block and/or wiring for my amp and lights. i also wanted to put my tools somewhere out of site but could still be easily accessed. so, heres what i came up with...

im also relocating my amp to the under side of the lifting hatch piece and building a new, longer and mire low profile box for my sub. i dont want to do a floor mount because i want to keep the inner volume thats recommended for the sub

i like it .. A lot :biggthumpup:

thanks bro...i really gotta get the sub box built. i went to the store today and realized i hate driving without my sounds lol.

i want to thank everyone from supreme society for the invite. bunch of super chill guys with sick ass rides.

Looking really nice in the trunk Shawn.  Can't wait to see it Thursday.

thanks bro...now i gotta figure out what to do with my sub

If we get rid of the side cubbies I can set up the rear nicely.  I've got some ideas if you want to do them.  Already part way through Gus' hatch, been working on it with Jason.  We've got his two 10s and two amps flush in the floor, and you have a lot more room to work with.
