You may want to search scion life- there are way too many mods you can do. It all depends on personal preferance and of course your pocketbook.
Being that it is an 04- i would start off with doing a maintance on it to have a fresh clean slate:

Oil & Filter
Fuel System Cleaner (lucas works)
New Spark Plugs
Clean/Replace air filter
Replace Coils (optional)
Fuel Filter (optional)
New O2 sensor (optional)
New Maf (optional)
New PCV (clean/replace optional)
Brake Pads (inspect/replace if needed)
Wipers (replace if they smear bad)

That should get you started with some pretty basic stuff (and keep you busy) and have a happy engine.

after this do a search for MOD

he xB offers a comfortable, if somewhat unconventional, driving position. The xB's windshield is more vertical than most, and the driver looks over a squared-off hood. The minimalist instrumentation (fairly big speedometer, tiny tachometer and fuel gauge) is in a pod on the center of the dash, a handy location once you get accustomed to it. Obviously there's no shortage of headroom. The back seats are adequate provided the people you put back there aren't prone to complaining. The xB's short length necessitates a choice between back seat room and trunk space; packing the xB to the gills requires folding the rear seats. Unfortunately, the trunk of my test car was occupied by a huge tube-shaped subwoofer (bass speaker, not shown in the photos), part of an optional ($775) stereo system with enough power to bring down low-flying planes. Speaking of options, most of the xB's are purely aesthetic: tape stripes, colored lights for the floor and cupholders, etc., stuff Scion's marketers thought would appeal to the young'uns who want to be different,

I like to go to HMP (houston motorsports park) since its soo close to me. or we may go to baytown which used to be houston raceway park, they changed the name to royal purple raceway or something like that.
