This is a Picture i took on the day i bought it. Nice 2004 Xe with only 89,000 miles and one owner.

I didn't know where to start first so I read on the forums that most people take off the step rails and mudflaps. And while I was at it, I decided to plastidip my wheels. I didn't get any pictures over the summer because I was working at a Boy scout camp so I rarely got to work on the X. :meh:

Then before school started I decided I didn't like all of that faded trim, so I took a weekend and bed lined all of the trim.

Now that She was starting to look the part, she needed to sound the part. So I did some research and I chose to put on a Cherrybomb glasspack.

Here is a better picture of the muffler after it was installed. I took this after getting rid of my rear sway bar.

Afters removing the sway bar I needed to take the X wheeling, a couple friends and I planned a trip to go up on this trail called big levels in Stuarts Draft, VA.

There were some deep mud pits on the trail but I didn't get the chance to take any pictures of them. They all had bypasses so you didn't have to go through them, but curiosity go the best of me, and I waded in. Long story short, I got stuck and alot of water leaked in through the doors:sad:. This is what she looked like the next day.

For Christmas I got a Volant CAI. I really wasn't impressed with the overall fit and finish, but I got it to work. I was Impressed with the power gains, really helps at low to mid revs.

Sticking to the subject of Christmas, with some of my gift cards and extra money I got a Cobra 25 NW with a 4ft Firestik on a SS-204 door jam mount. I was pretty impressed on how solid the mount was with it only being held in with 4 screws.

Planning on doing alot more this spring and summer, but my budget is holding me back. Trying to mod out a vehicle with a part time job can be a challenge:kewl:.

I'm trying to decide what I want to do next.....
