Hi my name is Russ Lyman. I live in West Haven, CT. This is my Scion xA 2006. I have some plans for it, and will do work on it constantly, and post as many pictures as I can. Feel free to email if you want to ask how I did something or if you have any suggestions on what next I can do with it. I will post the most recent work on here so you can watch it change from start to finish.

-Well I have finally put my xA into a car show. It was a great experience and I got some new ideas since the car show and have been working non stop on my car and the car's display at the show. I am going with a overall Nintendo theme for my car so that is where I am getting allot of my inspiration from. I will be uploading pics and videos of everything so stay tuned.

-Wow it's been a real long time since a update. I have been kinda busy so didn't really get a chance to hop on here and upload new stuff. Allot has gone into the xA. I have put on clear marker side lenses. Changed out the front end with some billet grille inserts. I re-painted my rims from flat black to a metallic color, it looks way better. I also re painted my calibers red, and my rear drums red to match. I put in the interior some ultra bight leds for both dome lights, and changed out the center console lights to all white. I also did a mod to the ignition switch, where it glows red around it when you open the door and shuts off with a delay. I have it hook up to the center light so it shuts off with the delay. I am not sure if i want it to stay on or not yet. I also have pictures up of my 7" touch screen Clarion radio.

- It's been a while since my last update. I have been doing allot of mods, some I do not have pics of but I have a bunch of the my Best Mod yet . I just added a lambo door kit to the scion. This def makes it stand out, and I can't wait to bring it to a car show now. I also installed a cold air intake, strut bar, and short shifter. Pics are up on page 2.

- Well last night I went to Boston for the Hot Import Nights show, and it was sick. It was my first import car show, and they had a ton of Scion xA's hooked up, which gave me some great ideas. I spent all day working on my new sub box for my trunk, and it came out awesome. I put some pics of it up in the interior page, so check that out. Also this weekend, I got my rims put on. I bought them on Craigslist, and sanded them down and painted them Black. Pics of those are on the Exterior page.

- I just recently paint some of my door sills red, and the cover around my gauge cluster.
- I added a Garmin GPS Unit and concealed the wiring all behind the center console so it has a clean custom look.

- Hooked up my 1000 Watt amp
- Put in 12" Baja Sub Box
