First things first:


Then, here is a tutorial for inserting images:

Then, I would suggest getting a nice exhaust or cold air intake. I personally like Strup for exhaust and headers and K&N for cold air intakes.

Hope this helps.:D

Just from looking at the picutres (BTW, looks nice), I'd do:

1) Probably TRD exhaust, just because you are a realtor and probably have clients riding in it, so exhaust note will be an issue. TRD's from my experience are pretty tame.

2) Rear wheen spacers. I'd say OTG spacers, but it looks like you could use more then there 10mm. I can't remember the onces that are 15mm+... Starts with an "H"

3) Intake for sure, since you Husband does time trials, it would help some, so would the exhaust.

Back to my crown and coke, I can't think right now...

Okay, that's done. I like your car and love your wheels! What I would do is put some color on the sides like stripeman.com and look at the graphic packages. For less than $90 you get a really cool graphic to spice up your car and make it really individual.

I'd say "NO" to that idea. She is a realtor and might have people from 20's to 60's in here car showing property. Graphics might be OK if it were business related.

I have a client that is a realty company and they plaster there vehicles with there company logo.

Looks clean and sweet and perfect to me. Do these add-ons really give speed/power increases commensurate with their cost... or is it.. more for the fun of treating our cars like the beloved scions *human kind* that we'd send to $$$ four year colleges?

cold air intake? headers? nice to look at!

but I... nah,

shut up, Sci!



Most of ALL and really great is how pretty your car looks right now.

pushing the html buttons to color texts is fun, too. And easy, too: just highlight the text to alter in color or size, and select from the drop down menus above the composition box.


Have fun and keep styling so happily

Because they are great products.

I plug Goldline springs and OTG spacers too, and I am not sponsored by them. I plug the products I have used and have worked well for me.

Hell, I even plug your speedo faces Chad.

I guess Southern California is a lot more fast-paced than the rest of the country. We just think different here. Older people here really like being treated "young".

I went to an 8,000 sq. ft house in Rancho Santa Fe yesterday to repair a fax machine. The man of the house is around 80. He saw my RS 2.0 and loved it! He wants one himself and asked me if I was going to get stripes for it. This is from a man worth millions of dollars and buys and sells companies (like the Richard Gere character in "Pretty Woman").

everyone that sees the xb loves it. i will get out at the mall or wherever and come back and older men will be walking around it and peeking in the windows.

hubby and i talked about it last night and we are going to get scion symbols put in the headrests, getting the racing pedals(blue or red?), i have joked about the stripes...would that be the funniest thing, me coming down the road with red or blue stripes on the car...maybe flames?

i ordered some stickers for the windows...
i love my toaster
you just got beat by a toaster

i think they are funny....husband thinks i am a dork
right now i have my website www.itsadawndeal.com
name, phone #, company logo and www.scionsouth.net on the windows

my husband is the new car/scion manager at toyota south/ scion south......we have to make the old xb look good for his business and mine....

I would get a spoiler , remove all scion badging , add at a minimum a nice lil exhaust tip , and an intake to get up to speed a lil bit easier . a header is nice also but not needed.
