Hello, new member here.

I recently traded in my 1st gen xB for a blizzard pearl xD.

I hope to have it bagged and stanced by spring so hopefully this will become a build thread soon :)

yeah more stanced xD's is what this world needs, welcome to the forum, anything you need just ask

Yeah, I really havent seen many.

Im working on piecing together an air setup now. I learned a lot from the air ride I had on my xB so I know what I want this time. (Speaking of which, if anyone is looking for a set of used coilovers I have a set of tein basics I will not be using. I was planning on bagging them but I cant fit aerosport bags over the diameter of the teins).

Just for fun, here was the stance on my old xB.

yep for real :)

Thought about getting a 2nd gen xB, but I kinda wanted a change so I went with the xD.

Welcome

Some progress.

Welcome to the forum! :hands:

about time more ppl wanna stance the xD! welcome. once the weather finally stops having ADD around here, ill be finally posting up my newly acquired stance.

welcome!

me jealous lowered already >,<

ps. is that a stuck f.bumper?
i kinda like it

Stock front with five axis kit

I am going with a different style than most xD guys go with.

With the pearl white I am going to try a sport luxury look.

Just got my wheels. Holstens (Audi a8 style wheels) that were fully stripped and polished. I have never had a set of fully polished wheels before. Hopefully the upkeep doesnt drive me insane.

Going to do a little more work to them before they go on though. I want to paint the windows black and tweak a couple more things.

oh man i cant wait to see those wheels on and layin 5axis kit on air

Got a little work done this weekend.

Blacked out the windows on two of the wheels. Two more to go.

Damn that dropped B is so sexy!!

damn this xD is going to be nice lol. i prefer static myself but im all for proper xD's rolling around.

specs on the wheels?

Thanks guys.

Yeah, I might actually run static this season now. The ride quality of the tein basics is so nice. I might remove the remaining perches though. The air instal on my xB took me all winter and I don't want to rush this one.

The wheels aren't super aggressive, but I will space them out accordingly. They are 18x8 +30 (I think) with 205/40s on them.

I am debating wheter or not to also paint the out part of the centercaps black. It will make them look a little more sporty.

since you have the 5axis idk what kind of clearances you have for moar low. i know i couldnt do a lip without killing it now lol, and ive removed about everything to get as low as i can on my c8sports.

hope the 18's let you at least run flush. as for painting the centers black im on the fence too. i mean my rs' center caps are black so i know itll look good. i think keeping it all polished will make it cleaner though. the window black was a good call.

Yeah they actually arent fully polsihed though. I am just tricking your eyes because the centercaps are plastic and they are currently painted silver.

Yeah, the good thing about a urethane lip is I can scrape without breaking it :)

ah ok so like mine. the faces are silver, lips and caps are polished save for the BBS logo's.

instead of lip i opted for smaller wheels so i could just ruin my frame on speedbumps lol.

Woohoo, 3 down. 1 more to go and then they need a good, final polishing

Got a big install list for the weekend. Hopefully, it is successful and I will have new car pics on Sunday.

looking good. can't wait to see it assembled

So jealous of your color! Welcome!

looking good. liking the IST badging too...i just can't justify the $100 for the badges.

^^^just rock 2 toyota badges that's what I'm doing it's much cheaper

very nice! i like it. so those are 18's correct? what suspension are you on? is that springs or coilovers? very nice look though.

Thanks guys.

Yeah they are 18s. Kinda just temporary wheels. I like them, but I don't love them so I will just keep them until I find something I like better.

I have tein basic coilovers. Fronts are all the way down. Rears are all the way down with one perch removed.

the hood emblem doesn't represent the I in Ist. It represents the Toyota dealers under the Netz marquee. If the funds are there Dan RSR has normal springs that go lower

That go lower than the basics without perches?

It has been so long I don't even know who to go thru for JDM parts anymore...

do you have any issues with rubbing at all? i am running 18s on mine but with 225/40. im riding on tein s-techs springs. you look a decent bit lower than me and i rub on the front. especially when i come down off of dips or big bumps. ive had to cut out a big portion of the inner fender liner so that it doesnt hit my tire anymore. it still will from time to time and it rubs a little bit on the passenger side when im at a full right turn. :/

i would like to bring my rear down a lil bit. but i really like the stance of yours!

I have never rubbed at all. I don't even have my fenders rolled yet. I actually plan on spacing the front and rear more.

Are yours 18x8? If so, try a set of 205/40s or 215/40 falkens (falkens run small)

mine are actually 18x7.5 i will possibly look into a different size tire when i need to replace these. im actually kinda trying to sell these cause i have my eye on some 17x9s that i would really want

Where did you get the IST badges?

love those wheels. very nice looking xD.

Got the badging from myautofashion.


Actually, the wheels are kinda temporary, I have my eyes on something else :)

well, let me know a price if you're selling them. I'll see if I can swing it.

I wish you weren't so far...I bet shipping will be crazy...but I can look into it if you want...pm me if you might be interested.

How did you get both badges in black?

In black? They are just the standard badges. The rear is chrome and the front is chrome and dark grey.
