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???

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

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 ...

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 )
