  • 2006 xB build

    first day i had it, installed 10000k HIDs






    a week later installed custom hail dents legit e'sams, and bB heads.



    then another week later cam the D2 coilovers







    keeping my normal trend about 2 weeks after i received my NY lip






    then the southshore bB center console



    bB crystal a/c knobs and crystal shift knob




    i had these sitting for a while and decided to finally refinish them. i wasnt sure if i wanted to sell them or not.




    so i did a complete rebuild. finished product. BBS RS 15x7.5 +4 fronts and 15x8.5 -8 rears





    then i ordered a very rare g-square grill and FFF back at the first of november. i received it at the first of February. the grill is warped at doesnt fit proper but the FFF was basically all i wanted.




    then i received my tires. federal 165/50/15 fronts and 195/45/15 rears. im not happy with them at all. basically cause now i have insane amounts of wheel gap. i need to go lower but im gonna wait till after winter. then took off the e'sams and installed a set of BB visors, and installed the BBS's. i ordered a set of conti 155/60/15s and should have them on tomorrow. im not pleased with the federals at all






    then i installed the -5 realcambers and monroe air shocks. aired up right now cause of this stupid snow






    also somewhere in all that i fixed some of the hail on the sides and replaced the hood. im waiting to fix the roof and paint. i just need to finish customers cars first. I also have alot more goodies coming and should be here in the next few weeks. im also trying to rid the positive camber in the front. i just need to order the camber bolts to put on

        Like I've told you before, it's quickly become one of my favorite xB's.

        Once you get the stance sorted it'll be a done deal.

                  thanks all.

                  i added red/smoke led tails today as well as the front 155/60/15. working on the camber issue. i got it down to 0. i think its the bolts i used when i put the coils on. i ordered camber bolts today. hopefully that helps.

                    U get an alingment? My camber was like -2 on one side and like 0 on the other. and both sides were maxed out. super simple fix once i was up on the lift tho.

                            thanks. im trying to keep going!! i have more stuff on the way still. hopefully it will all work out. just need to hit the paint shop soon.

                            im also thinking about selling the bbs and going for some 16's or 17's and possibly changing the color of the car when i finish the hail. the whole thing needs repainted anyways.

                            also added. red/smoke sonars

                              I've always liked how those tails looked, I need to scoop a set.
