Default few questions

Was wonedering if I can put a side air bags for safty after market since there is a llack of side impact airbags stock.

With the lack of daytime running lights can I get after market ones?

Can I have higher seats for the driver seat. Like 4 inches or 5. It seems very low to me. I am a short person.

To get lights on the xB, you have to manually turn on the headlight switch when you start the car. Since Scion didn’t include an auto-off feature can I get a after market part to do it?

The front disc/rear drum combo on the Scion is old I think! Four wheel discs can't cost significantly more than the front-disc, rear-drums that Scion uses on this model so can I get after marekt parts. I didnt any thing when I googled or did a search here.

The xB seems to stop very well and with good control. I haven't tried any emergency stops yet, so I will have to test it out.

no. I mean you probably could given enough money and time, but where would you put them... how would you mount them? the A-pillar is most likely out... so that only really leaves the seat or the door. Besides do you know how hard it would be to rig it to whatever sensors it needs.

yes and no. There are no actual daytime running light kits for the xB. However you CAN rewire one of those dual halo aftermarket headlights to get daytime running lights.

there are aftermarket seats (but I don't think they raise the seating)... or you can get nuts/washers and longer bolts and raise your seat liek that.

you can find the answers to 1,3,5 by running a search or looking the faq section

number 4, if you mean cathode/led lighting... then yes, you can wire the lights to an empty fuse slot which turns on/off with the accessories
