lots of stuff really. It all depends on your tastes. I prefer a clean look, but some do not.

See my gallery (or any of them really) on www.scionpix.com for ideas. There are a lot of good pics there. Some of the led swaps I have done (including mine) are pictured there as well. Most people want to get away from the orange right of f the bat.

For the biggest bang for your buck performance mods, go with suspension. A huge handling improvement can be had for $1000 in parts or so (tires, springs, sway(s) ) .

If you want real power mods (ones that are really noticeable, not tenths of seconds on a drag strip) you can go forced induction there.

There is a ton of stuff to do, some of it cheap, some of it expensive.

Any idiot can do that

Call them up and do more research. They don't sell them as a set.

to the original poster, sorry if I seemed rude/stand-offish. Just meant to say that they are hard to find. To find the ones I wanted from a good place me and my friend looked around for 4 months. They were discontinued in '03.

for those rims, not to mention the size lug pattern offset and width for our cars as well. dont say **** b4 u research, google aint everything like Tc4italy said call the places up and see if they have em in stock i bet the craigslist isnt the same lug pattern of even size. I dare you to find a similar set 4 wheels 18x8 5x100 with 38 offset.

F&ckin dare you.

Doesn't matter. She never stated I wouldn't find size 18x8's with a 35 offset and 5x100. She just said in general "you won't find them." and I did

getting back on topic..
like engifineer said it all really depends on your tastes and where you wanna go with your car
IMO i think suspension should always be one of the first things to do

Again OBVIOUSLY if they are pre-owned by someone you WILL find them. And OBVIOUSLY they would have to be in our bolt pattern unless we have other cars masked as Scions

But hey if you need this to make you feel more of a boy, go right ahead.

I'm done :D
