Default Jumped Ship - tC to xB today! Accessories needed...where?

Ok, I trade in my tC for an xB today. I nice black one....lowered my payment and new baby was the main reason. Anyways, now I need some accessories. Looking for FloorMats, Armrest and wheels to start.

Where is the best place to get these? Any good AFTERMARKET armrest with some storage....I looked at EBAY a little.

Thanks!

Check out www.trdsparks.com for really good prices on stuff from scion and www.zetaproducts.net for some great armrests.

Here are some more sites to take a look at:
www.fujiz.com
www.randode.com
www.ptuning.com
www.ssuperstore.com
www.partshippers.com
www.strup.us

Thanks...anyone have any suggestions on the armrests with storage? That seems to be the most practical option.

Floor mats by Incline Design on Ebay are awesome. Very nice touch.

I have the Boomerang armrest and I it! Especially the storage space and the small storage for coins.
BTW, congrats on your new ride and welcome to the "Box"side...

Does anyone have any good pictures of the Boomerrang armrest? Looks like it could get in the way....

Still looking for accessories though....I may wait on wheels until AFTER the snow in MI.
i may just stick with the stock floormats also, as they seem rather cheap on EBAY.

Anyone use the Aluminum Diamond Plate Floor Mats found on EBAY?

Depends on how much storage you need. I have the Zeta and it has enough storage for remotes and sunglasses and stuff like that.

And its adjustable and very durable.

Thanks, the ZETA seems nice. How is the color compared to the interior? Seems a little "off" to me, but it could just be the picture.

Thanks...would be a nice xmas gift from someone I suppose

Anyone have a picture of the aluminum diamond plate floor mats installed in their xB? Not a bad price....only $20 more for the back seat floors also.

Wow i was just searching about xB's i loved them when they came out and it crossed my mind to switch from the tC to an xB. Did you feel like you lost alot of power? hows the ride noise/comfort compared to the tc? (gawd my rattles are pretty bad im scheduled to get a new headliner and moonroof shade assembly, tired of it, figured if i dont have a moonroof less to deal with.)

I basically switched for money reasons and we just had a child. My wife's car will be the main child vehicle, but this will also do. The ride seems a little rougher to me, but is not really that bad. No rattles that I could notice yet....I know the tC always seemed to rattle from the trunk. So far, so good...now, I just need accessories.

Radio possibly...looking for DVD (price sensative though)
Armrest
FloorMats
Wheels

That will be a start for me, the radio is not essential though.


HOW DOES THE FACTORY ARMREST INSTALL? Does it take away that little compartment by the E-brake? (I may just go with this since it's cheaper)
