hey whats up people, im looking to change my stock xa with some nice cool cheap,diy mods . . . all i have is

-20% tints all around
-blue led dome lights and ac control panel lights


any ideas will be welcomed and im on a tight budget cause im starting college in a little so i dont want to put in too much money on my car just yet =] . . . thanks for your help

 

how much you wanna spend on per mod theres tons out there all for under 300 dollars

 

Ive bought all the oem stuff from trdsparks minus the wheels, navigation unit. I set my budget to 300 bucks a month.

My future stuff is a rear view camera, head unit with tv screen and hd reciever, upgraded speakers,

Its not a bad car in its stock configuration.

 

o well lol im actually looking at really cheap mods, to start off im looking at $50 and under , if theres any mod that cheap

 

You any good with paint, pin strips and creativity???

 

depends wht do you have in mind??

 

the ist badges look cool as crap . . . .http://myautofashion.com/istemblem.html would that fit on the front grill of the xA?

 

What about making your own grill inserts out of screen wire and electric tape?

 

na not reaLLY lol . . . the more i look at the ist emblem the more i like it?? do you know where to get one that will fit in the grill in the front of a 06 Xa??

 

If you have a few tools, a jack and want a handling difference, get a pair of generic urthene end link sway bar bushings from auto zone for 15 bucks, then from the hardware section of a lowes or home depot get some bolts, washers and lock nuts and upgrade the links in your car. Its less than 50 bucks, takes a bit of work, but it makes the car handle better. Theres a bett thread around here than my brief explination if you are interested.

Otherwise if you want something cool, maybe buy an led light strip or tube from the local auto store and mount it some where.

 

Paint your brake calipers or your interior.

 

yea ill do the brake calipers once i get some rims on my car, and what cobb said ill look more into that when i get my next pay check . . . .but for now i want the ist badges and emblems on my car. . . .do you guys know where i could get them so they could fit my 06 xa???

 

the front grill- http://myautofashion.com/istemblem.html
rear "T" - http://myautofashion.com/isttoem.html
rear badge- http://myautofashion.com/istrearemblem.html
you can do some led swaps. driving light, dome lights, and rear plate lights.

 

^^^yea i ordered the dome lights, the "oven" light, and the ac control panel lights already (well im going to tomorow when i put money in the bank) once the lights come in then im going to do the emblem/badge swap for the ist. . . .i dont like the 06 ist badge, the 08 badge is hotttttttt, so once i find all three ill order those as well, and from there ill see what else ill do to the car =]

 

I think the oem floor mats are just shy of 50 bucks.

 

Rig a switch in the easy bake oven to some LEDs so when you open the oven, it turns on the light.

LEDs in the cupholders

I'll check back later.

 

i already got the floormats from scion (those are the ones you are talking about right)

 

The Best ONE: 1. get a philups screw driver 2. go to your front licence plate and remove it !!!! (as long as its legal in your state to just have a rear licence plate).

It was the first mod. I did the first day I had the car, and it only cost a couple of drips of sweat off your brow- if that

 

^^lol you mean to put another license plate in the front of the car??
