Red face Introducing my X

Hi Guys!

After spending so much time reading on this forum, I thought it's time to say Hi officially and share some pics of my X. (was waiting for a nice day to take some shots).

First, I'd like to THANK YOU guys for sharing SO much information on this forum. Reading here has inspired me as well as saved me a lot of time and money! This community rocks!

My car is an 04' with 31K miles on it. Car came with OEM Hitch and HID low beams.

I already got around to do the following upgrades:

Added a CD Changer.

BSW Stage 1 got installed yesterday. I added the Sound Ordnance B8-PT self-powered subwoofer. The sub setup was just under $200. It's not a mega-sub by any means, but totally takes care of the lack of bass and gives an overall balanced and crisp sound.

I also scored 20" wheels this week off CL. II Crave #14 rims with brand new Michelin Latitude tires. While it is not a staggered set (which I initially was going for), the 1K price tag for the set sealed the deal for me.

**Now need spacers but not sure what size to go for... (?) The rims are 20"x10" and the tires are 275/40/R20 all around. Check out the pics below.

Home-smoked the rear tail lights this morning (the inner pieces only for now as they were faded from the sun) +ran out of tint film

LED bulbs for the tail lights - did not add the capacitor they came with after reading about the resistors on one of the threads. I am worried about the heat the capacitors omit so close to the sound components.

Ordered a NAV screen replacement from China. (someone thought it was a touch screen and left 2 large circles of dead pixels on it).

Also got the AUX cable. (waiting for the screen to show up to add in one go).

Future Upgrades:

Coding - need done ASAP! Gathered a list off the different threads here. Tried to find someone here in Colorado to do it with. Still looking. Might go for remote if I can't find anyone.

Add Resistors to flickering LEDs, add reverse light LED bulbs.

HID fogs to match the HID low beams.

"Maybe" list: Running Boards, Front Skid plate, Rear (only) 4.8is spoiler, 4.6 exhaust tips. Dice Media Bridge. Maybe

That's all for now!

Would love some advice about the size for the wheel spacers!

Again, many thanks to all of you!
