Just look around the xB2 forums, and open threads that sound interesting to you. Basics are always things like tires & wheels, lowering, audio system upgrades, etc. Here's a bunch of mods under $100 to get you started:

Link isn't working, so just cut-n-paste it into your browser.

Is the tC that the HIDs came from a 2008? If so, then you'll need new bulbs. The 2008 tC uses 9006 bulbs, and the 2nd-gen xB uses H11.

I think the first thing you'll want to do with your xB is drop it.

After that, vent visors.

Then go from there. :-)

Actually, a really good coat of a high-quality wax should be the 1st thing you do.

But clay it first.. good way to remove any rail rust and any other crap that gets on it from transport and the dealership.. start with a decent wash and clay, then polish/sealer and then a nice coat of wax :?

I never was a "modder" until I met my xB. After that i became sort of..... uh......well fanatical? Still, i love every minute of it! Puts me in a good mood.

dude you could spend COUNTLESS hours on here finding answers for all of your little hearts desires..

I lowered mine on tanabe DF's and its a soft ride but you dont get the performance out of it like some would want..

start with springs, then sway bars, then intake, then exhaust and LEAVE IT ALONE unless you want to become the guy that wrenches, drives, and repeats..
