10 grand? That's pretty nice.

I'd piece out my own turbo kit which would net me around 2500-3000 depending on the turbo I get, then I'd get a Motec Standalone which is around 2000, then I'd upgrade my suspension to coilovers set to my own specifications which would cost around 1500-2500. That's 7000 maximum so far. For the rest of the 3 grand, I'd build up my engine and go with upgraded cast pistons to keep daily drivability, and upgrade rods. Not sure how much that would cost me, but I'm pretty sure I'd be almost at the 10k mark. If I somehow haven't hit the 10k mark yet, then I'd try to get a tubular header made out of Inconel and a full Titanium Exhaust, with a mix of Borla and HKS Mufflers to have an appropriately muffled car that isn't a loud obnoxious ricer car.

Yes, I would not modify the exterior in any way, at all, except maybe different rims.

First would be AIR!
Then some slight engine mods. (Dont go to the track and the speed limit is 70)
And work on the Audio Extensively.
And maybe some Paint or Wrap.

I wish some of you scion guys who lived near me tints and does alarms, I have a few jobs for you. The tint shop told me its like 450 for a 5 door hatch back. 175 for just the front two windows. I found a guy on craigs list who said 90 bucks for the front two.

Since my car has a lifetime warranty is one reason I was staying with toyota engine parts like the supercharger. Truthfully, this car has more than enough power. I wouldnt mind the fancy engine cover, the glass radiator tubes that you can see through and a warm air intake or short ram.

Never rode in or driven an air ride system, I may like it. I really like the stock suspension with hotskins sway bars.

i'm with you. except i'd pay Capital One the $10K i owe them in credit card debt. then i would take the remaining $2 or 3 dollars and start paying off my $37K auto loan.

If I had $10K to throw at a $17K car, I wouldn't have bought a $17K car.

Indeed, my thinking exactly! Or else, I'd choose to either spend it on, or save it for, something else entirely ! I've so far spent about $3K on mods to my as purchased xB2 (came with spoiler and rear bumper applique), and all work since receipt has been done by me. I can't even imagine spending another $7K on it!
