Default Check out my XB - comments please!

Hey everyone! I purchased my XB almost 2 years ago and kept it stock until May of this past year. I haven't done too much, wanted opinions on my decisions so far.

Exterior: grille inserts, 18" wheels, XB Bra, key covers


Interior: metallic blue dash,in sun has tendency to look purple; custom speedometer face by Chad (www.forcespeed.com), ebrake


One of the next things I want to do is paint the calibers black, possibly a TRD muffler, K&N Filter & remove snorkel. What other mods can I do??? I am working on my Christmas wish list

Thanks!

Stefani

What direction do you want to go in? Are you looking just to trick it out? go jdm? One easy thing I would recommend is interior lighting. Its not hard to do, just basic wiring. oznium has kits cheap, or randode does plug and play kits.

Default ...WOW....

Great color. Fine wheels, Good grills.

Do you have a CABIN AIR FILTER in the tray behind the glove box?
(if not, see TECH thread called Fabricate your own CABIN AIR FILTER)
(Buy one at any parts store for $12, same filter as the RAV4 2005)
(Dealer will charge $22 and will not tell you that SCION does not provide one.)

I have a leftover 2006 Scion / Pioneer OEM radio with a volume ****, since I installed the i-pod upgrade. I will let you have it for a small song, $30 or $40 installed. Install is a breeze, same connections.

Will we get to see this box at Burger King on Saturday nights? Off Rt 234 bypass.

Thanks guys for the great comments!

I am looking at adding to my list the randode cathodes, springs, strut bar, LED dome light.

I did replace my fog lights & headlights with Superwhites, boy does that make a difference, some dude flipped me off the other day when I was following him. Guess he didn't like getting blinded in his civic

Another question. I really want my car to stand out and have been looking around for graphics. Anyone have any suggestions? I like this below . . . but I have a feeling it would be custom and not sure about $$. Thanks and again suggestions are appreciated!! Have a great one.

Default ....So far... so good....

Good looking box.....
I have no vinal knowledge to offer, but I can offer my 2006 Scion EOM Stero with the volume ****. I had that radio, but I missed the volume **** so I upgraded. After another upgrade, I have the 2006 Pioneer OEM stero left over.
PM me if you are interested.....swap is easy, plug & play, same connectors.
Dash basel needs to come off, yours is painted so I guess you know how to remove it.
Did you paint the silver accents on the steering wheel?
I am in the center of Centreville, ever go to the Burger King Knokesville Rd in Manassas? Every Saturday night it's like a car show.
Are you in Scion Evolution? Scikotics?

Got a cabin air filter in your cabin air filter tray? Sometimes called a pollen filter, they get filled with dirt and pollen that would end up on your dash board.
See TECH thread called 'Fabricate your own CABIN AIR FILTER'.
