alright so im getting a new car cause my parents want me to have a new one, they dont believe my car right now is safe anymore (i have a 2001 focus) its just not properly working after my bro handed it down to me. So they gave me a 19,000 dollar limit and it came to me that i rather have one of these awesome cars new then some old used car alrightso heres a question! what do I do with the dealers? like what do I want in my box? and what should I mod right away? thanks for th help guys!

 

Buy a stock box with no options as most of us so so $14,185-$14,995 depending on what transmission you get. Spend $1000-$1500 on some rims and some drop springs and the rest you can probably afford a nice katzkins leather interior or a sunroof and a half decent system.

 

COUGH get a skyline COUGH

yah get a stock bop and get those fat ___ dubs and some big ___ subs and some big ___ value meal at Burger King w/ Chilli cuz their chilli is bangin

 

haha well I have never modded a car in my life! I want a sound system but after I get something first like I want a nice exhast system and I want those inside lights! are those rondode lights hard to install? also i really want a sunroof! how much does one cost?

 

contact a local body shop and ask if they can put sunroofs in first
second, those lights are easy (i did it myself, and dont get the lights through dealer)
ummm third, find the biggest CHROME rim and buy 4 of them and put em on Scion
fourth get Apline Type R 15's haaa that ____ would make u deaf

 

haha 15's in the box? that would be bangin! but alot of bucks ;) im just worried about cost at the time haha dunno if when I get it they will give me the rest of that money and I got a sucky job right now all I know is im getting those interior light for sure then and im getting a cb radio :p

 

I completely agree w/ OKIhost. Get base "Stripped down" xB from the dealer. Any accessories that they can put on can just as easily be done by you for alot less $$$. My advise would be test drive both an automatic & a 5SPD. I recommend the 5SPD.

By the way, I don't think the Focus was all that safe of a car to begin with.

 

meh I cant drive a stick (I know.... what a woman this guy is) haha

 

no the focus sucks! especially when your brother thinks that it went faster when he shifted it between nuetral and drive while driving... now it shifts to neutral everytime it goes to the next gear!!! I love those Xb's though! there the collest lookin car on the road I believe I want a lime green one though!

 

Trust me, LEARN to drive a stick.

There was discussion that the new 2.0 "Special Edition xB" (Hot Lava was 1.0) was going to be lime green, but I think word is that it's going to a yellow of some sort, so no use waiting. What color are you lookin' at getting?

 

....

 

i was the FIRST with an installed PA system, well i think i was....in any event i was the FIRST to brag about it. Take the CB and hook and external speaker up and walla. There is a space on the left side of the engine to strap it down perfectly depending on size and it still sounds well.
PA System w/ speaker=less then $50

 

yeah thats what i was doing haha I found a cb radio with pa and speaker and I was in love so i bought it and thought it would be a snap to install and be hella fun! no longer having to roll down the window to talk haha

 

so tell me for a rookie modder... how hard is it to do muffler and engine stuff? would it be safe to leave that to the pros? i wanna get something with a rumble but not outrages haha

 

You can do a lot for an xB with $4K. If I had that kind of money I'd get some nice mesh 16x8s, leather, a sunroof, and probably a system if I could get a deal.

For interior lighting I'd go with the Randode kit if you don't like messing with wiring and such. Pretty much everything depends on how willing you are to get dirty and risk messing things up.

 

yeah im not down with the whole messing with the wires yet since it will be my first project is it just a plug in and go type thing?

 

Yeah, pretty much. Check out his website: www.randode.com

 

yeah i was lookin at them earlier, would make alot more sence cause I was gonna get the ones from the dealer! what about the cup illuminations? should I get those from the dealer?

 

Nah, don't get anything installed at the dealer. All the accessories are wicked overpriced and you can always get them cheaper online. Check out the advertisers on this website.

I just made my own cupholder lights. It was pretty straightforward.

 

alright cool im just not sure if I can do it!
