WOndering what all the others are doing out there to there new scions.. 4 days old now and i dont have a lot of $, im just doing veryyyyy cheep but nice mods.. ill get pics soon, what are you all doing that is cheep but looks very nice?

 

Aw right, if your on a budget I say just put your money to rims and lowering springs! These mods are really the only ones you need that really set of the any scion!! Good Lucj BRa!!!

 

i'm paying mine off =) thats my first mod

 

Lets see, JDM bB emblem, blue side markers, blue dome light, sanded and painted hubcaps (PM for pics), Sylvannia Silverstar headlights and turn signal bulbs, and shaved the rear trunk. Other than that, I just wash and wax every week.

 

Not having a lot of money is a relative term. How much cash you got to burn???

 

im juss driving my car everyday haha im juss waiting to get my paycheck i dont know wut to get first probably rims and den little stuff here and dere

 

I just recently got mine in Nov. My good friend in AZ runs a scion enhancement business and he has done some cool things for me, im actually goin back to get some tail lights and a few other things done. I would recommend some tail lights and rims to start. If interested, his website is in my sig. Good luck to you, its fun starting out!

 

DITTO!! save your mula and do this first before doing all the little stuff IMO.

 

recycle your or your friends old sub & amp. been using my pioneer amp for the 3rd car(90' celica, 88' 190E and now 04'xB), bass is not competition grade but a big difference compare to stock.

 

I checked out his site and saw the short shifter he makes/modifies. Have you installed that? I wonder how it works. Looks cool.

 

I put full moon hubcaps on, $70, next clear my headlights, freebie! Then change dash lighting to blue, probably under $50. Just my $.02

 

Although some say that it looks too tacky, I like doing vinyl overlay ... Just don't apply every pieces, but just some places where it looks nice ... (?) ... I think it was only $20 on ebay. .. might wanna take a look at it ...
If you're into details, then you might wanna just take the dash apart, and try sand/spray ... Probably will comeout cleaner, without any winkle ...

First thing I did was the rubber floor mats. They were like $20, money well spent.

 

Going on 1.5 months and now have tinted front windows, Roof rack (I love DH MTB), and debadged all around.

 

I'm probably an odd-man-out here: I've never modded any car of mine I just buy it and drive it. I bought the car because it looks cool, is made by Toyota the maker of quality cars, and because it is nice and roomy inside and can handle the telescope and bicycles and other stuff I frequently lug around. I figure if unique is a value then I ought to stand out as being the only xB in my neighborhood that is still all stock.

:D

(edit: does buying the torpedo and the roof rack at the dealer count as mods? I didn't count these since they are the stock add-ons anyone can get from the dealer.)

(2nd edit: I bought a tiny clip-on halogen lamp - sold at an office supply as a reading lamp - and it serves to augment the wimpy dome light...I guess this could count as a mod )
