Cheap Mods for the xB..
Define "cheap". 
Mine's only got 800 miles on it, so I'm doing mostly cosmetics right now.....
wheels
spoiler
springs
headlights
horns
I'm debating on sill plates and exhaust tip. I was going to do taillight garnish, but it seems pretty expensive for what it is. I may pull them apart and paint/smoke them instead.

I guess by cheap I mean small things maybe even free that you can do and improve the style of places on your xB.
For instance one I got from the tech section was taking off the face plate around my stereo and A/C controls and putting caps over the LEDs to make them a blue color.
That kind of cheap

Shave the badges
Cup holder LEDs DIY
Clear your headlights
Change the bulbs (headlights/foglights)
Taillight red-out or clear
Remove the wiper
There's a ton of cheap and free mods you can do.
Another good one is to spend a few good hours washing, clay bar-ing, waxing, detailing your whole car. Makes it out-shine all the other dirty boxes out there and doesn't cost much.

I made a new cherry-wood **** for the radio so I can grab it with my gloves on. It's deeper and square-er and fits over the stock ****.
Then I made a matching piece that covers the right arm rest (I have an aftermarket arm rest) and enlarges it somewhat.
The cherry was FREE 'cause I had leftovers after making a bed. I'm thinking of adding other cherry accents.
