Default I just got my XB

I just my first scion XB on Feb 29th, it was my first time driving a scion and i loved it right away. I got Black Paint 19" TRD rims, Toyo tires, Scion Spoiler, and Scion Navigation System. What should be my first real mod?

HID = high intensity discharge = xenon lamp option on many luxury cars these days

maybe even debadge the back. it would look cleaner without the big badging ...

For everybody who keeps telling him to drop it, he's already on TRD springs, pick a different mod.

I'm thinking smoked Anzo LED tail lights, as soon as NoLimitz has them available.

dj welcome to the sl forums and gratz on the ride. first mod tint the windows. but look at cali regulations used to live in cali. but do not know the tint laws these days. after that i would say go with moblehid hid kits. your in luck cliffy is doing a sale in the near future like this week. he is one of the better choices to go with. you will find his post in the classifield section under sponsored sales. then after that change out the stock speakers. they sound ok on the stock radio. anything above that. replace them.


cionide umm he's been busy putting seats in...lol

Black Sand Pearl, TRD wheels, TRD springs, rear spoiler, SNS... I'm guessing this was a showroom model.

Also, based on your ride height, and the fact that you said you have red springs, they're TRD if they were on when the xB when you bought it from the dealership.

There are no holes behind the xB badge, just behind the Toyota badge.

Something you can do for free is peel the black tape from around the windows and the A-pillar. Although I think it looks best to leave it around the windows and just take it off the pillar. I did it the night I brought my xB home. There is a post in the exterior forum about it.

would adding a TRD Rear Sway Bar or TRD strut Brace be worth it? and if so why?
