Default I'm really thinking about it...

Hey guys I've been thinking about getting a xA for a while, i finally decided to go for one and I need to know some stuff. Where can I get parts/upgrades/rice for it? And what you guys reccomend me to do, should I get the intake with the car (exaust i will HAVE to buy seperate) or buy it seperate with the exaust system? Any reccomended systems ex:wheels, kits, air/exaust kits? And what first? I cant wait to get it, I was thinking of this setup: Manual Indigo Ink Pearl xA with mudgaurds and a rear spoiler, Cold Air Induction System by AEM (seperate?), Front Strut Tie Bar by Hotchkis Performance, Sport Pedal Covers by OBX Racing Sports BLUEEE, Shift **** by OBX Racing Sports BLUEEE, LED Light Enhancements by Luxaura... BLUEEEE, Color Steering Wheel Silver, basic sound system, and alloy wheels unless you guys suggest some good ones that arent gonna burn a hole in my pocket. SO.... what do you think? :D I was thinking of 5 thin spoke gun metal wheels, but dont know where to find them or if they will work and I need help! Also any suggested body kits?

OK... Heres my plan if anyone is listening, I get the xA with all the stuff on the inside the same... But I'm going to get the intake and swaybar with it. Then from the Scion Life store all sorts of stuff tell me what you think...KenStyle Front Grill C-One Rear Spoiler AC Indiglo Gauge Kit Blitz NUR-Spec Exhaust Gold-Line Lowering Spring Set for $1788.00 but theres one thing missing... I need 5 spoke gun metal wheels that dont cost too much... This is my first car just incase your wondering...

If you're planning on financing the parts is why you would rather have the dealer install...then that's fine. But if you have the cash on hand, DO NOT get anything but the st0ck XA from the dealer is my recommend. Additionally, I would not install the front & rear sway bars until you've already lowered and also have the wheel/tire combo you want to stick with - get to know how YOUR XA rides first with the NEW height, wheels and tires before doing anything else to the suspension. You may find that you don't even need the sway bars and can spend the bills on other mods.

Don't blow your wad just yet on a grille, lip kit and whatever else is the first thing you see for the appearance. FYI www.tlfactory.com has Fabulous (o) Kits for the XA at a great price. I mean, just do a search around this site, be patient and you will find that more thangs will be available for the XA.

-TOXA!
