A few quick shots of my wifes box....
Before you say it...YES I KNOW I NEED A DROP! Unfortunately, the Civic suspesnsion comes first. 
The car is now 2 months old......just over 2000 miles on her and we've loved every second of ownership.
I picked up these Konig networks from DRFlickner @ JLB Motorsports for $320 and I just had the tire shop remount the stock rubber. Look him up....he sells in the sponsored marketplace forums...great guy with great prices.
Anyways...feel free to flame. I know they are not to everybodies liking, but the wife and I knew as soon as we got the green xb, bronze wheels is what it needed....so these were perfect.
My DIY JDM sweet liscence plate relocater.

Re: (ekcivic9)
lol...it will never be that much of a drop. Believe it or not, the xB's have a very decent suspension setup from the factory, and since this is my wifes daily driver and our weekend family car...reliability and comfort is number one priority.
I'll probably go with the TRD springs (maintains warranty) which will gove it a 1.5" drop or so.

For your tastes...okay, fine. For me (the owner of the car) the stock sized wheels are just fine.

Re: (EP Kreuzer)
Very nice!
My wife drives an xB as well! We bought it for her last January and she loves it.
Ours is completely stock though, I don't see any reason to spend money modifying her car when she doesn't really care too much about that stuff. I'd rather spend money on my own car.
I think the xB is a perfect wife's car. The baby seat fits well in the back, there's plenty of room, it's very reliable, and very inexpensive to own.
Plus you get to wave at the other xB drivers when you are out and about!

We traded in a 99 Isuzu Trooper that was getting a whopping 17mpg. In the xb, with us, the two kids, rear hatch full and the rack loaded down with camping gear going 75 mph on the freeway we still got 28mpg. For those that don't like the way it looks on the outside...if you get a chancve, sit in the inside. It's decieving how HUGE it is on the inside.
As for mods....my wife would be fine driving it completely stock, but since I'm the driver on weekends and family trips, I wanted to personalize it a tad bit. Nothing major.
