Default JUST PURCHASED MY FIRST SCION XB 2005!!! PICK IT UP FRIDAY!!

Just got in from the dealer. I bought a used Scion XB 2005 with 29k miles. Car belonged to an old couple. So the car looks brand new. What is the first and easiest mod to do on the XB? Thanks

Default Just picked up XB

The field is wide open. My first mod was new wheels. Later added underbody lights. Then added green LEDs in the headlights. They glow nicely at night. Made non skid mats for the dash, glovebox and cubbys out of Tool box drawer liner material ( about $5 at Wal Mart ). Found some cheaper and in different colors at Big Lots. Enjoy the Box and have fun with it.

wheels and tires make everything look better so you can't go wrong with that.

Either go to your nearest Napa store or google Monroe shocks and use the 02 Echo for the application. They do not have scions in their books yet. I think the part # is 5987
