View Full Version : Help! I have an $80 limit....what should I mod? rkautz 08-23-2005, 01:49 AM Hey everyone! My birthday is coming up here in four weeks. September 11 to be precise (anyone wanna send a pity check for having a sucky birthday then pm me, :rofl: ). Anyways I was gonna ask for some stuff for my xB but was told I have an $80 limit. I was thinking of the weathertech bug deflector or window visors or the pie aux adapter. What else do you think I should ask for? Any help would be appreciated! :pray: Thanks everyone! :bow: chucksu 08-23-2005, 01:53 AM See if you can get $85 & you can get a YDR Intake kingpinxB 08-23-2005, 01:54 AM why bother? Rayman 08-23-2005, 02:09 AM I'd hold on to it. Save some more so you don't compromise with what you want. Max 08-23-2005, 02:17 AM Door sill enhancements or armrest.

Mine is now back with vinyl and unvisored. The vinyl looks better than paint and the vent visors detract from a clean look, IMO. moonray 08-23-2005, 03:16 AM Rear Hub Spacers from Van @ One Ton Garage -- $65.00 shipped -- still leaves you $15.00 buck's for pizza!!! have a happy b-day bB-aym-y0urs 08-23-2005, 03:22 AM projector headlights from ebay... scionish 08-23-2005, 03:24 AM what does spacers do exactly? Max 08-23-2005, 03:31 AM what does spacers do exactly? Push the wheels out away from the center of the car, makes it look better. SuperToaster 08-23-2005, 05:09 AM Get a neat gear shift knob if you have a manual, eyelids are cool too....... Max 08-23-2005, 02:12 PM You could get a caliper painting kit. They cost like $15. However, if you have the steel wheels you probably wouldn't be able to see the painted calipers and drums. matt_a 08-23-2005, 02:45 PM ARMREST! Makes the car soooo much nicer to drive. eXciteBox 08-23-2005, 05:29 PM Black Sand Pearl OEM grill is <$60 shipped if you can find somebody selling one. that leaves you $20 for birthday pizza :P VanillaRice 08-23-2005, 06:51 PM You could do the Ebay short shifter for $38 shipped and then have some left over to get the vent visors. You could get a new shift knob. New pedals. I would just save the $80 for another time when I had a little more money to put with it and get what I REALLY want. Happy Birthday. 08-23-2005, 06:57 PM Rear Hub Spacers from Van @ One Ton Garage -- $65.00 shipped -- still leaves you $15.00 buck's for pizza!!! have a happy b-day I agree, for sale here at PrecisionMuffler.com in Stock. :D RockBlocker 08-23-2005, 07:51 PM Less than $80 http://www.rockblocker.net/Images/Scion/xbblue2.jpg rkautz 08-23-2005, 09:47 PM Thanks everyone for the ideas! A lot of them are going on my list. What about getting new bulbs for the headlights instead of the whole assembly? What should I ask for that will make the most improvement for the least money? eXciteBox 08-23-2005, 10:08 PM luminics bulbs are $25-35 and make a HUGE difference how your car looks. they have a blue headlight, and white one, and a yellow one. www.luminics.com ive run them since i got my car 4 months ago. all day all night and no blown bulbs, and they have a 1 year warranty you would need H4 bulbs btw :P http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/1491/fitment16kf.jpg heres my hyperwhites off during the day...

It is an easy mod and the stock head unit works perfectly with it (I have the PIE). The only problem I had was how to mount the plastic box to the firewall/ducting behind the radio--I used heavy duty stick on velcro (for rugs on hardwood floors, $3) and have never had a rattle. Makes it removable, which I wanted since my next mod is to hardwire the iPod connector into the car and free up my cigarette lighter. We I get a chance, I'll take some pix about how I mounted the iPod right at the shifter level--that will take up your next $35, but it makes the iPod mounting look professional and saves your cupholders. (Which don't work very well, anyway). rkautz 08-24-2005, 09:09 PM I put the adapter near the top of my list because I have a plug-n-play sirius which is mounted in the coin cup in the dash. Check out my pics in my profile to see how I mounted it. I hope the adapter will work better than the fm modulator. 08-25-2005, 01:52 AM Check out tireflys and street axentz at scionpro.com. FModFTD 08-25-2005, 02:04 AM I would say OTG spacers. On xBs and xAs, the rear track is less than the front track. The spacers push the rear wheels out a bit so they are the same as the fronts. And only $65--with free shipping. XB_BOY_2005 08-29-2005, 06:25 AM get a bunch of cold cathodes and light up ur ride. they are cheap and fun! |
