Hey guys-

I'm just waiting for credit approval on a Super White 08 XB. I've chose the following accessories:

Spoiler
Carpeted floor mats
Premium Stereo
Fog lights

What other accessories did you get that you couldn't live without? What accessories did you wish you got?

I'm not really looking for the performance accessories-that will come later!

 

I opted to go with the bare minimum of accessories when I purchased mine, but I've sense purchase the cargo-net, dashpads (not available through scion) and plan on doing some performance purchase as well.

If you have anything in the rear hatch it'll slide all over and make noise, the cargonet surprisingly helps out a ton and is very well built.

Also, all your scion accessories can be purchased at a much more affordable price via dealers like Sullivans and TRDSparks.com via the internet... might be a good route to go for any latter purchases for you.

 

For me the only one I couldn't live without was floormats, which I think should be standard on any car, but I guess anything they can add cost they will lol.

LED brake lights would've been on my list but they're not out yet, and from the only pic I've seen so far, they don't look that great.

There are other things I want and/or might get, but I figure 99% of the time I can get it for cheaper than the dealer cost, and it won't effect my montly payment. And since it seems some people are getting charged installation, I won't have to pay that either.

 

i guess its cheaper to buy many things separeately if you know how to work on your car. I bought all my accessories from ebay and trdsparks and installed them myself.

 

you can buy all these accessories online for MUCH cheaper... so i wouldnt get any.

trdsparks.com

 

Thanks for the info!

But-what I'm really asking is what accessories can't you live with out?

 

^ agree to not get anything from the dealer (unless you want them to install it) Only dealer option I got was the NAV system.

Other options I've since added are
Floor Mats
Cargo Liner

That's all i've NEEDED.
Still want the Door Sills (they weren't in stock when I ordered the car, so i didn't get them.
Then rims, and I love neons, so maybe those when I figure out where i'm getting another $1-2k to blow on the car.

 

I can't live without this:

I have it mounted in the back using a inverter to power it.
Next i'm working on install a soda fountain dispenser mounted on the dash.I love drive-in movie theaters!

 

Awesome!! I think I saw something like that on Pimp My Ride!

 

The premium stereo is pretty tempting, also the spoiler!


...maybe the interior lights too.

 

"Needs":
Floor mats
Spoiler
Premium Audio
Wheels

"The rest":
Leather
TRD springs, sway and strut bars, CAI, exhaust
Interior lighting and door sill lighting
Sirius
C-pillar cargo nets

And more coming, but that's it so far.

 

All i need in the morning is this little gadget to start the day.

moonroof

Autostart/alarm

illuminated sills

floor mats

spoiler

rims

passengers

 

What I got to go in/on it:

-Spoiler
-Cargo/Floor Mats
-Illuminated Door Sills
-Premium Audio
-TRD Wheels
-Sport Steering Wheel
-Security System

What I got to go with it:
-iPod Nano
-Scion Gun Metal License Plate Frame
-Scionware Keychain

I need all of it.

 

The new xB is begging to be lowered & I can't wait to replace the stock wheels.

 

I got mine with ZERO add ons.

 

I GOT FLOOR MATS
CARGO LINER
DASH PADS
I PURCHASE A MOTORCYCLE BUNGIE NET AND IT WORKS BETTER THEN THE FACTORY CARGO NET
SIRIUS SPORTSTER

 

I think the one accessory I really couldn't "live without" coming off the lot would be the sport steering wheel.

Seems like just about everything else has a better aftermarket alternative I could pick up online or somewhere else later on.

 

Not to offend or anything, that little gadget is a hunk of junk, the automatic always gets jamed up. And to have it cycle, you have to unplug it, unjam it, start it back up, wait and pray it works. Stick with the manual like the Francis X5, nice solid brass pump, never jams, very reliable, and almost the same price, maybe a little less...enjoy

 

the only accessories I couldnt live without is my Wheels & Tires & the up-graded Audio. I'm happy now.. everything else is just a bonus!!!
