im 17 and the xb is going to be my first car, im going to get it in like 2months as a lease. im trying to keep the car at a minimum price , since i have to pay for paments and all. well my question is , is the AEM cold air intake and the stray bar (or what ever its called) worth the extra cash?? because the xb im allready getting its going to be like 16,000 (comes with that little wing,bazzokka speaker, and rims). so is that intake and bar worth the extra on my payment and also should i get those lights that go buy my feet.

i would get everything other then the wing from somewhere else. the rims and bazooka tube are not worth it to get it from the dealer.
Go dead stock. (Maybe keep the wing, but you can get cooler wings elsewhere.)
Then save the money and buy cooler stuff.
Although, if you are leasing, and payments aren't an issue, get everything you want. It's not worth putting your money into someone else's car.

what would be the lease payment?
I only put 3000 down, and my monthly is only 240. to BUY...not lease.

If it is a lease, get bare bones, and add the extras yourself. If money is an issue, then maybe ask one of your parents to front the dough, and agree to make payments.
Bazooka ... dealer i believe is asking 400, i have seen them here under the classifides for as little as 150.
Wheels too, look here and Ebay
Even the rear wing, there is a shop on Ebay that will ship you one, painted to match, with install instructions, and include shipping in the cost, all for 210, ( dealer option is 350 something ). Do your homework, look around. Also, keep in mind, your lease should be returned just as you bought it. this means all goodies have to come off, otherwise you will take the risk of being hit up for extra money due to the modifications you have performed on the car.
yeah this car is a bad lease. no deals at all and i promise they WILL hold their value(its a toyota). the better a car holds its value the less attractive the lease will be. now if it said "chevrolet" across the back, different story. dont buy (or lease) anything from the dealer do it all on your own. dont look at things from the "payment" perspective thats just financial suicide.
