TRYING TO GET SOME INPUT FROM THE SCION COMMUNITY.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST MODIFICATION TO YOUR VEHICLE, RIMS , EXHAUST,
DROP, SYSTEM?

Rims for me then a drop.

Debadge

SilverStars
Debadge
intake

I drove from the dealership to the tire shop to install the rims I already ordered a week earlier! I can't stand the stock hubcaps on xB's. I would have rocked steelies if the rims didn't arrive on time.

-THE DON

flippin the seat belt holders in the rear around so that they actually hold :P

Exhaust
Intake
Sound System
Headlights
Short Shifter
Suspension
If I had it to do over again I would've done the suspension first but oh well...

My first mod was getting it repainted.

Rims for me then a drop.

-THE DON
Word me too! I hate the stock hubcaps! I ordered my rims too but they didn't come in until 2 days later, so I had to drive around on the stockers until then.

I just did mine this weekend. Got the windows tinted black and got my Alpine CDA-9833 installed with a hookup for the iPod.

My very first mod was an alarm with remote starter.

Which paved the way for me to feel comfortable with my second mod, 17" rims & springs

New speakers, head unit, basslink... i always do audio and tint first

exhaust
intake
header

CF OEM wing.

a model

flippin the seat belt holders in the rear around so that they actually hold :P

Can you actually do that? Does it just pop out and fit back in once flipped? If so that's my NEXT mod! :clap:

-THE DON

well i got some at the dealer..like the panoramic moonroof from webasto.. strut bar,etc etc..

but outside the dealer the billet grill was my first mod.

system........

New deck
Amp/Sub
Rims to come

greddy EVO 2 exhauste...

My first mods:

Tower Bar
Debadge

ScionLife sticker...gave me like 1.5hp..... :silly:

ScionLife sticker...gave me like 1.5hp..... :silly:

you should try an injen short ram

Heheh yes... I cannot wait for mine to come in. Injen Injen injen... I did not want to spend 500 dollars for that AEM CAI. It looks pretty, but man, I think I can deal with less than half the price with the short ram... plus I get 1more HP than that CAI : )

^^^ at first i was about show vs go... i think imma change my mind SOON. or show and go.

How much is the Injen SR compared to the AEM as in price and HP?

I'm liking the Black Powdercoated one!

My RS 2.0 was supposed to be here mid March, then by the end of March, now today they are saying mid April. I put the deposit on it back in February.


Anyway here is what I've got so far sitting around to put in/on it:
17" 5Zigen Rims
Goldline 2" Springs (on the way)
Floor Mats
Fog Lights
Interior and Underhood Cathodes
Headrest Monitors
Xbox (need to make mounting box when xb arrives)
Eclipse AVN unit (should be here before xb)
Cargo Cover
Custom graphics (for my business)
Plus more stuff I can't think of that is on the way...

removed badges, put on Yakima Rack, Alpine 9833, Infinfity Basslink, Next??????

you are one crazy mofo totallyboardz.

in fact, i think all of us xB owners are crazy period! haha!

rims, tv screens, sound, and more engine hp...we can't settle for less!!

I ordered mine with AEM CAI, TRD Exhaust, TRD Shocks, TRD Springs, TRD Quick-shift. Rear spoiler, carbon fiber interior console, Custom leather heated seats, OBX race pedals and shifter, TYC rear lights, Fog lights, Hotchkiss tower stabilizer bar, Bazooka Tube sub, 6-cd stereo, Blue LED interior lights and lighted cupholder, Door sill enhancements, rear bumber appliqae, moon roof. Then I added 18" PIAA sport mesh wheels and Yokohama spec 2 tires.

PIMPED out. Can I use your credit card? haha

Wheels, springs, intake, exhaust header, short throw shifter, TRD exhaust, sub.


All part of my monthly payments LOL

A short ram will give you about 1.5 hp too.

Nothing like a nice blast of hot air from right over the engine block to improve performance.

:rofl:

If you're going to get a CAI, get one that makes sense and actually pulls COLD air from behind the front bumper. :doh:

But back to the question, my first mod was a TRD short shift and an AEM CAI with bypass. Next will be a thicker rear anti-sway bar, which I recommend over the popular strut tower bar because it does a hell of a lot more for handling. Strut tower bar looks cool, but doesn't do alot on a rigid unibody car with a hood that is 12" long.

The AEM cold air intake retails for like $335.00 plus tax. They also have a limited release AEM cold air intake (and hotchkis stut bar) that is painted yellow for the same price to match the new xB 2.0

TRD Exhaust
Injen short RAM
17" enkei's on falken rubber

Just added this box and subs to my pile of mods just waiting for the xb to arrive. It'll probably arrive before my xb does, but it'll give me time to airbrush all the orange stuff yellow and swap all the wiring for blue wire. Couldn't pass it up.
