Default whats your style?
just as the title states. I've have been staring at the xD tryin to figure out where to go with it. Someone on another forum asked how my Scion was JDM....lol.. I said I didn't consider it JDM. But I really don;t know what to do with the car. My xB has a theme but I can't get anything going with the xD.

Not sure if there's a name for my style, probably there is but I don't know :P I love they style of Subarus and FJ Cruisers (though I would never buy one). And I'm an outdoor lover and take my dogs out hiking and camping all the time in the xD, so I don't mind it getting dirty. I have the roof rack on there and am looking into getting fog lights and maybe some mud flaps.

So I would say like a utility/trekking style? Rally maybe?

amen to that. for me, i've also been inspired to go a "rally" look. mud flaps are in order, as well as a new wheel/tire combo and fogs.

I want to totally black out my XD. Black wheels, tinted windows, Black billet grill, I might even take the Scion/Xd badging off and replace it with something sinister.

I also want some performance. Nothing radical, but I would like to have 30 hp above stock. I would like to work with a programmer and alcohol injection maybe.

I love that little camper. It would be soooo cool if it was painted to match your Xd and rims to match.

I am definitly the utility style,

Right now I have a roof rack, got a a tow / hitch(yet to install -for bike rack, not to tow per say), mud flaps - and my tires are about to wear out I will replace those with slightly bigger more aggressive tires. Stock height.

I live in the country, so take it out alot to places it probably should not go lol. camping hiking, etc

I guess my style fits into more of the stance/hella flush scene. working to get the car as low as humanly possible with well fitted wheels, aggressive offsets and widths without being an overly aggresive style, and an overall clean appearance to the car

current state, still working on getting lower:

I am going MINI INSPIRED, (minitruck that is) Still have alot of work to do. I wish I was further along, but I had to get a new vehicle last tax time and that took my paint money and mod money. Then got rearended and that kinda killed my flow for a while. But hopefully with wife's new job we can get back on track.

And Bob affraid only way to go lower will be to start cutting wheel wells. lol. I know I have started looking. I sometimes wish I was static dropped like you on the xd of course just lower in the back as you also wish. but I also love the bags. About to redo whole system. move tank location and get new different tank. rerun air lines and change fittings. I hate push connect. all my fittings seem to leak so going back old school to compression fittings. maybe even do some hardline. we will see.
