Im not going to mods mine

 

I suppose one doesn't need to mod them to make them different from other vehicles on the road but I think many people mod them - personalize them - to make them more unique and different from other Scions.

 

I am an old man (34) and I am going to add the spoiler (wife's pick) and we will probably add aftermarket headrest DVD players.

My business is purchasing it. We do senior portraits and it is to be just a tad cool.

We will do a total wrap of the car.

 

I'm a young'n (22) and I'm not really planning on modding too much. I just graduated from college yesterday and I need a multipurpose and economical car that will last me a good number of years.
I'm a big boring nerd, so I probably like the xB2 for the same reason as the old folk do- reliability, quality, size and comfort.
I might put rims on it at some point, but really I'm more interested in adding more practical things, such as HIDs, or improving the stereo.
I bet there are so many places to hide a nice 10" to improve the SQ of the stock system.

 

I think it's that most of the people on this forum are really into cars and would mod anything they get...or would only buy a car that is good to, or worth it.
I am getting the rims instead of the hubcaps, but only because it looks better, and I'd do it with any car. Just the dealer rims. I got the radio upgrade but all of them in this market had them. Anything else will be just little things.
I am a mom and this is my version of the "family car": a 5 door with enough room for more than one car seat and good safety. Better mileage and better looking than a small SUV, and smaller (shorter than the Matrix by 4 inches, and the RAV4 by like 14) too, since I have to parallel park at work. Our other car is the Matrix and I didn't want another curvy hatchback at the house. This looks different enough that I don't feel like I don't have any imagination! And having a car that is different, new and still manufactured by a company with a reputation for reliability is a bonus.
At least on this forum I am learning a lot about cars. I don't understand what the taped or untaped windows mean. Yes, that is how ignorant I am!

 

The "taped" windows are the flat black tape/plastic combo that is around the frame of the doors/windows on the sides of the xB. If you remove it you just have the color of your paint underneath rather than the flat black.

A bunch of people on this forum like the look and are removing the tape. However, what I don't know is if there is some reason (other than looks) that Scion put the tape around the windows. Does the tape/plastic provide sound dampening or paint protection around the windows and doors?

I would hate to remove the tape/plastic and then find out later than is served a good purpose.
