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 :eyebrow:

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.

Hey, my dirty Scion takes offense to that....lol

I made a new cherry-wood knob for the radio so I can grab it with my gloves on. It's deeper and square-er and fits over the stock knob.
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.

this post is worthless without pics. :lalala:

the lighting behind the ac controls are not LEDs just so you know. Just a small incandescent bulb. Look at it...

Sorry.... I capped the incandescent bulbs... :relief:

cold cathode lights inside are a pretty cheap and easy DIY...

You could buy some Sylvania Silverstars for me for under $20 shipped :) will improve your night light and looks!

How about a hot girl on the hood. Thats always a good mod. I also heard it helps with blood flow - err I mean air flow

*cough babes and boxes fourem cough* :love:

but yeah, the fogging the tail lights is pretty much free but will be a little work, im gonna do it once i can figure it out perfectly.

Mikochu (sp) grounding kit will make ur engine look cooler and if u got an auto in theory make it run better (idk, but it sounds cool) will run u like 20-30 at most!

OMG no one suggested taking off the caps and adding chome rings and some chome lugs! maybe 60 bucks, and can look sweet!

Cabin a/c filter.
I bought a huge sheet for $11 at Home Depot. Should be reusable for another 4-5 times.

For $18 i debadged and stuck on a Benz emblem.

$50 got my OHH Garsh Darn It handles to light up (LED strips/dremel) Led strips from Onzium.com

Is there anything special you need to do to debadge it? What is the process for it?
