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.

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss283/landpirate636/IMG_5822.jpg


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

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss283/landpirate636/IMG_5898.jpg


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

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss283/landpirate636/the%20b/IMG_5980.jpg


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.

pretty quick. waiting on parts takes too long!!! i bought it in aug 09. it was 05 when i had my last b. i missed them

Clean ride AJ, keep the ball rolling.
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

yeah I know, it's on my to do list.
I just bought a hood, tires, and a couple bbs parts, so maybe with the next paycheck.

03-06-2010, 12:46 PM
que hood? and what bbs parts?

wanna trade me bbs's?

the dingo

the spare hood is for a top secret project I've been wanting to do but didn't want to ruin my hood. Just in case I didn't like the look......so I'm sure you can guess what it is.

and I had to order a spare lug cover for one of my wheels. The center cap and cover fell off while driving. I found the cap but no luck on the cover.

You wouldn't want my wheels in their current condition. They're kinda beat due to a moron at a tire shop, that's why they're painted, but I'll restore them one day.

polish? thats sucks about the bbs's. im alwways worried one of my caps is gonna come off too.

I was thinking something more like this. We'll see how it goes.

I really like the paint scheme of the BBS's... I also think you're right in upping to 16 or 17's.. too much rubbing showing right now, but it's not for lack of being low. Once the up-size happens, I think you will have one freaking hot BB. Nice work man!
