been on the forums for a while but now a new PROUD owner of 05 BOP xB.......now im trying to figure out what and where to buy as in mods. and other little things..i found this website that looks legit with all the Scion xB performance parts.....Has anyone here been to this website and if so how are they with everything?!!

first thing....lower it, then intake, then headers, then exhaust, then rims... or not

 

First things in order
1.rims and tires- no larger than 17"
2.springs
3.amp and sub
4.K&N filter

 

you do not want an xB with rims before you get dropped

 

Please enlighten us with such knowledge. I had rims for over a year before I dropped it. Plus he lives in Buffalo, NY with crappy roads.

 

soon 2b - I haven't been to that site before. I would suggest poking your nose around in here for a while, and you will start to see some of the sites that will provide more variety, and that are tried and true.

as far as mods, I would say something along the lines of stance, stereo, speed, but I guess it all depends on YOU. What are you looking to do with it?

A decent, inexpensive stance can be had with tanabe df210 springs. As far as wheels go, something like 18s are a nice compromise between size and ride, and fill the wheelwell pretty well. There's a lot of personal taste there, tho, and i've seen alot of smaller wheels look very nice too. When shopping for wheels, watch the offset - the rears are set a little further in on the box.

Stereo, well, i won't even go there. If that's an issue for ya, I'm sure you know what you want anyhow.

Speed, well, in my opinion, just being honest - it's an econobox. There aren't a ton of things that you can do to make it a monster off the line, but alot of people are happy with CAI and catbacks. Of course, you could loose your mind, and supercharge it, lighten the pulleys and all sorts of other things, but that's not my ball of wax.

Lots of opinion here ^^^, so no flames please

 

thanx for the input,, i appreciate it......I already have a stereo system that was from my old car. now going into the xB. just wanted to do some small things like:

tail light
rain guards
front grill
and some other little things that i cant remeber.

but come time in the summer. ill be doing:
CAI
headers
exhaust
lower'd
.......just need to find good sites to buy them all off of....eny good ones out there?

 

tails - tyc are very nice, overlays work too
rain guards - i;m getting the wades soon...
front grille? you thinkin billet?

for the tails, or anything offered as an upgrade for that matter, I would try ebay, and find the toyotamall seller

 

What part of Buffalo are you from? When visiting there in December I was suprised at how many Scions ( of all types) I ran into. Buffalo has always been a Made in USA town .
Enjoy your XB !
