Wow, this thread sparked some life into this forum Thanks for posting it here trdxd and good call on the email LD :)

trdxd 10-22-2009 07:21 PM

not a problem, any ideas from you shaggy?

trdxd 10-23-2009 11:36 AM

how about spacers, anyone interested in that? list possible widths you'd be interested in!

xd_kidd 10-23-2009 11:40 AM

spacers are already available. best to go with parts that arent available yet

TheLittleDeviant 10-23-2009 11:45 AM

^^^I'm with Chris, we want stuff that other companies wont make for us...

trdxd 10-23-2009 12:44 PM

sounds good guys; well headlights were suggested long ago; any interest in new taillights maybe?

Also an idea; not exactly the guages, but how about the portion of the dash that surrounds the guages, in CF?

(since it pops out ever so easily)

Yup, Carbon Fiber gauge bezel. I mentioned it before, and yes is my answer

MY BAD. totally forgot; I'll put that in the list next time I contact PWJDM; seems ideas are coming in more slowly, gotta fix that! what can we do.

TheLittleDeviant 10-23-2009 01:37 PM

Carbon Fiber bumper canards, and cf splitters

example of how I imagine the perfect bumper canards to look, with how they sweep all the way across the bottom of the "fog light holes"

trdxd 10-23-2009 01:50 PM

in reference to the above picture; i was just looking at Work Meisters and SSR SP1's....god i want em...

anywho, I like the idea of the candards forming perfectly along the bottom of the foglight area; great thinking.

I've been trying to think of a new grill design; the open grill is often appealing on most cars, but for the xD (im speaking primarily about the upper grill) I just dont think it would stick out enough (which could be a good thing, depending on what you're going for)

oh well; taking notice of that tow hook placement, where would everyone like to see the front tow hook poke out of?

TheLittleDeviant 10-23-2009 01:59 PM

I am using the stock location currently for my tow hook... I did get the idea to install it from the above picture though... LOL

trdxd 10-23-2009 02:15 PM

I did that for kicks; stock location + stock tow hook. hehehe...took it off because it stuck WAY. WAY. OUT. didn't look good. it was to joke around with my friend anyway.

JDMJim 10-23-2009 10:31 PM

ever watch knights tale? I always say to put a fist on the end of the tow hook to "protect" it....


we need a bodykit that exaggerates the stock body lines. kinda how Veilside did the Z33. kinda how that pic looks. I mentioned taillights. look here for ideas...
for a Celica . why didn't someone else think of this for our cars?

you beat me to it!!! the half white/half red is exactly the type that i wanted for our xD's.....I was at work so i couldn't post em :P

Luc1f3r 10-24-2009 10:13 AM

back to the foglights ... it would make more sense and be more universal to have fogs that mount in the lower center grill as it will fit every OEM car on the road. The little devient has a body kit on his car, do they really want to make parts for another companies body kit? seems like more stock cars would buy fog lights then cars with bodykits wanting oem fogs..... just my thoughts.

also, some true retrofitted projector headlights for under a grand.

racing seat brackets

xDizzle 10-24-2009 11:26 AM

CF lip kit! different design from the other 1s tho :)

trdxd 10-24-2009 02:11 PM

agreed that they should be different from the rest (i really...don't like the designs on any of the ones that are out)

Luci you make a good point.

and on a side note, when you said brackets; they're currently working on a CF racing seat that is AMAZINGLY comfortable and very light, so light, that the seat brackets are heavier than the chairs are ;) pretty cool stuff.

JDMJim 10-24-2009 07:01 PM

i'd rather have the fogs in the openings. or the panels anyway. ala RAv4

this car has a few lines that match ours

rhino74s 10-24-2009 07:13 PM

I agree, those stock openings are begging for fog lights. That's the only place I would put fogs on my xD.

YELOSUB 10-24-2009 08:12 PM

But us RS1's need an option too...:bleh:
