Default I am a two SCION owner now...

I have joined the club of those who have TWO SCIONS. I got a '05 IIP xA last night. BARE BONES.

I look at this as a blank canvas, to which I will paint my mods on.

So any ideas? I'm up to hear them.

WHEELS! I couldn't believe how much more I liked my xA when I got a set of rims. Also, just for fun, you should do the illuminated cupholdes yourself. It's a cheap ($9) easy mod to do in under two hours. As with all other mods, it's all personal preference. Congrats on the xA! Great choice.

Congrats on the XA! I think your first mod should be wheels and then save some for a Bodykit...the XA looks slamming with a really nice kit! Congrats!

I also own an IIP '05 xA... I used white as an offsetcolor. White wheels and some white flames on the back... Also did the Cup holder lights in blue from Autozone...

Welcome !!!!!!!!!!

If you mod your xA as well as you did your xB, you'll be fine.

Thanks! This time, I might go a bit after market, but we'll see. I know I need to make a list. Oddly enough, one of the things I miss about driving the xA, is it does not have LED's in it, so it's really dark. And XM radio. I have to do that soon.

Weak. They suckered another. When we were waiting on the HL we looked at a IIP xA. Best color for the xA, IMO.

In my super Biased opinion, I agree.

IIP is a great color. When I was getting my xA, they had silver and black available right away or IIP available in 6-8 weeks... I waited and it was worth it.

I hardly ever see any other xA's but when I do they are never IIP. Always cherry, silver, black or rs1 red.

I may skip the cupholder LED's in the Hatch. I got them in the Box, but they are, I would say, the dumbest thing I have ever done to a car.

Now, don't get me wrong. I love them. But it is the dumbest thing ever.

Hmm.

Maybe I will do it again.
