Default "we've only just begun . . ."

Replace front SCION badge with something stealthy.

Add Blazer driving/fog lamps to lower valance punch-outs.

Have Webasto Hollandia 700 sunroof installed.

Maybe add tinted acrylic wind deflector for above.

Color-matched keyhole covers (use the SEARCH for a couple of sources).

Install color-keyed Scion rear spoiler (keeps back glass cleaner).

Axle-back exhaust (TRD's pretty sweet sounding).

OBX alloy pedal covers + aluminum dead pedal.

Some diamond-plate floormats (real aluminum, not vinyl).

ScanGauge II diagnostic black box (rpm/mpg/temps/miles-to-empty, etc).

Go to your local Porsche dealer and ask for P/N 986.559.237.00.70C, a Schriftzug ("Boxster" in soft, rounded script lettering) for the rear hatch.

Get 2 more of the above---one for each front door (lower front corner just above the side sills)

CHA-CHING! CHA-CHING! CHA-CHING, baby! : )

Lip Kit

Custom grillework

2-tone paint or Custom paint.

A cooler wheel and tire combo.

I know you said no drop but For a really good look I think it needs a drop...an inch would not really make any clearance issues but would certainly improve the look. With no drop you should use fairly large rims (18'S) with oversized tires to help fill in some of the wheel/fender gap... 215/40/18 or larger tires...you can go a bit bigger in diameter than these especially with no drop....but do keep in mind that your speedo will read low if you do larger diameter tires. (215/40/18 is 3.5% slow larger still would increase this error)

How much lighting have you done?? Can almost always add more lighting Engine bay, under car, footwells, cupholders, ampracks, grab handles...possibilties are almost endless.

Done any engine bay changes?? Painted or polished top cover, radiator/oilcaps polished aluminum, underhood polished panels??

Could prolly list stuff all day. One thing I will do soon is to put another dome light assembly in front between the visors...one with map lights....brand undetermined at this time...a trip to a Pull-A-Part junkyard will likely supply something cool to work

Seriously, start by repainting everything silver to a totally different color. The look of that paint looks very odd to me. like a high school drama set painted by 10th graders. (I'm harsh, and kind of a dick, i know) Maybe try to carry in the color of the exterior, or a color that coordinates well to accent the back dash, like the color on the steering wheel. or at the least make sure the paint it glossy like a car finish. If you back-lit your air vets with some LED's green...Carbon fiber dash kits look ok on that color xB....do something creative with the "oven".....different shifter handle....i'd say any of them would look nice. Probably not all of them at the same time.

If you don't want to drop go with bigger wheels.
lip kit
rear view camera
CF accents
cathodes

I don't see how you could be out of ideas and be on this site at the same time????

Install a carputer which will give you navigation, tons of music and movies all at your finger tips! You don't have to go nuts tho - $500 is enough for a pretty damn decent setup. go to www.mp3car.com for more info and click the link in my signature to see how i'm using a tablet laptop for the functionationality i just mentioned!

good luck,
