Hey guys,
I've only been here for a couple of days and 1 post... well, 2 no but I'm loving all the helpful information on here. On Wed. I picked up an 04 silver FX35 with the touring package. I don't have pics yet but I will once I buy another (old one broke last month). From our last car my wife and I decided we wanted something nicer, faster, and more luxurious so we traded in the 08 xB and the FX is def all those 3 things. I do have pics of the xB here as well as stuff that was in it:

Right before I traded it in I had made another trunk enclosure (I had made 4 total during the 1 year I had it) which was only in for one show and also painted the wheels bronze (sorry for the big pic):

all the way on the right

I kept the 4 subs but I may sell 2 or 3 of them for modding money. I have a couple of other parts (intake, HIDs, spoiler, etc..) that I also plan on selling.


I dont think I'm going to be doing too much to this car but this year I am planning on getting an intake, tint, maybe springs (I may wait until spring though), sub(s), and some other cheap things (interior lights, spray-tint things, debadge, and whatever else I can do)

I havent searched too much so I dont know which intakes are out there and how much they cost.



Input/advice on other inexpensive thing I could do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

welcome to iS, and congrats on the purchase... I actually really like the Scion...
Thanks, I liked it too but I got a little bored of it. The scion scene is amazing though and the stuff scion and other companies to for them equally impressive. ie- Next friday they have a car show at 6flags where they're closing off the park just for the scion owners and guest. Free food, free admission, free show entry (well, you have to register and get chosen). I got it but since i dont have the xb anymore i cant go. oh well

Welcome and congrats on the FX! Since you are located in Boston, you may want to have a look in the regional FX section here https://www.infinitiscene.com/search/1/?q=forumdisplay.php?f=147 I believe they may have a dyno meet soon.
yea i saw that, thanks.



not too familiar with whats out there but what are some other sites should i check out?

thank you (x5)

Questions:
1. Does BlueBat make overlays for the whole taillight set of just the reverse light ?(which is all i see in the pics) If not, whats the best way to tint them?
I may be picking up a set of red tails for $20 this weekend so worse case scenario I'll spray them with VHT Niteshades

2. smoked headlight overlays, who makes them or which are most popular? (like firedawg63nla's headlights)

good luck finding bluebat. I heard memebers were having a hard time getting a response.

BTW. start a new thread this question so it wont be under you "hello" thread.:wink:
:biggrin:
 
Ya, in that pic, my reverse tails, side & rear bumper reflectors are tint. Currently, only the rear reflectors keep the vinyl tint. Everything else is paint. My fronts are painted internally, no tint.
