New Xb owner!

[pileofmonkeycrap]

Finally got the TCM Xb yesterday...totally stock for now, but give me a week to order parts! :D I love seeing the Xb in the garage...very cool ride! Current mod plans: - Springs, probably the H-Techs - Clearing the headlights and installing chrome bulbs - Debadging, will do this after I take pics of the Xb stock for "before" pics - 3 piece billet grills - Okelea (whatever those seat covers are called) - Exhaust tip - Window tint - Pedal covers - Interior LEDs - Painting engine parts The way I am with my truck, I'm sure the list will go on and on. :twisted:

if you get the pedal covers get the silver ones. I bought the blue ones and the color is worn off already. They're expensive too, and I don't think worth the price.

Yeah, the pedals aren't worth the price. i bought knock-off "Uncle Ben" pedals at Autozone for $20 and look just as good as the dealers, IMO.

hey congratson your ride bro. if they still hand out the 50 dollar gift card. i'd put them toward the pedals. there a tad less than 50 bucks and if its burning a hole in your pocket go get them. i got the red because i didn't want the blue and theyre slightly scratched already. and i wear Etnies

Thanks for the tips on the pedals. I was planning for cheaper aftermarket pedals anyway. I have a pair of pedals on my truck from Advanced Auto (Bully maybe?) that look great and fit nice. So I'll probably go with whatever fits from there.

The dealer really charges too much for parts and installation...same as any dealer. But I've learned so much from modding my truck that I'm confident I can tackle any Xb mods. (With help from Scionlife of course)

hello tcm,
all i can say is take it 1 step at a time tires and wheels,first,then springs,if you like that,then srut bar,and then any mods you would like to want to spend your money on.,

[Cybergypsy]

Congrats!!!!

I'm going with moon caps until I *need* new tires, and then I go with rims. No sense paying for tires now when I have brand new ones.

Window tint will be installed this week and I'll be ordering the grills, wheel covers, rear wiper cover and floor mats today. My wife wants the Scion and Xb badges left on for now though. I don't really have a problem with that because they are sharp looking.

Here's a link to my heavily modded '00 Silverado gallery, so you can see that I'm aware of what I'm about to get into with the Xb.
