08 xB build paint and stance in the works.

[Pasquale]

I've been lurking this forum for a while trying to learn as much as I can and just thought I would start a build thread.

The paint is finally finished and recently I've been trying to go in a different direction then most of the Gen2 xB's out there.

btw Sorry about the picture quality in advance...I have ZERO photographic skill lol.

Paint was a slow process. Shaved the door handles the xB badge, am/fm antenna, rear wiper and wiper fluid valve.




After the painter spraid on the graphics. Kinda of a culmination of 5 different ideas that I liked but didn't love. Alberto at OneExtreme did a hell of a job flowing all my ideas together to make something that really fit my personality artistically.




After Clear. K-Sports installed. So over Chome after these pictures lol.



Flash Forward a few more months...
Picked up a roof rack on C-list and went shopping at Weapon-R.


Finally having the time to work the stance. I started to design brackets to run my k-sports with UA aerosports in the front and and brackets for the rear also. Thanks to the guys at realcamber.com for making me some -3 camber for the xB.


My wheels are xxr-522's. I know most of you are all about the real wheels but after paint its going to be a while before I can afford my volks lol.
Wheel specs
Front: 19x8.5 +15
Rear: 19x10 +20
Tires Front: Falken 452's 235x25x19
Tires Rear: Falken 452's 235x35x19







Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think!

I like tha paint

[Pasquale]

Thanks, I was going for something similar to comic book art... Layered colors and hard vivid lines. I was really happy with how it came out.

The work looks awesome!

But personally i just find the xB to be an ugly square car. I have seen alot of them on here, this is by far one of the better looking.

[Pasquale]

Thank you!. The Xb really isn't for everybody but I've always liked weird little cars for some reason.

That paint job is nuts! I say go a little bit lower though.

[Pasquale]

Oh for sure the height is still set for my old wheels. The front has a lot of gap. I'm hoping I can get my manual valve set-up put together by November.

Thanks for the comments on the paint.

i usually dont like crazy paint jobs but theres something about this one that i like alot

[Pasquale]

Haha thanks I've luckily been getting a lot of good feedback on it. My old man hates it but he also wasn't to happy about me buying a scion at first lol.

I really don't like the yellow spatters, but I love the ghosted designs on the bottom half- both the colour combination and the actual artwork look awesome.
