Default Newbie xD owner

Hello people.

I have signed up as a member awhile ago and i've waited around to see what it is like before I start posting. I do like what I see with the integrity of this site. Although I see some posting rude comments where ever, it seems the majority of other members here carry themselves out maturely. Noticed all the technical people on here too. That's great because I plan on hook-n-up my xD next summer. There are lot of other great looking scions in here.

My name is Renee.
I have owned my xD for 3 months now and I'm enjoying the experience behind the wheel. So far, all i've done to it is add the Scion Navigation system. I don't plan on doing anything to the engine til I have it fully paid off. I don't want to sacrifice the life of the reliable engine yet. However, I plan on doing cosmetic stuff to it. I'm saving for some wheel next summer and plan on having a body kit installed once I find one that I really like. I'd appretiate any available body kit suggestions. I hope to meeting you all.

Same with me. What kind of interior mods are you leaning towards?

I'm starting my mods with exterior first. Plan on getting TEIN springs and wheels in the spring. Then a lip kit next year in the summer.

I actually lent Tanabe by xD in early September and I got to keep their NF210 springs on my car. Seeing as how its the first non-stock springs I've ever had, its really nice. Still comfortable but its lower than stock.

Right now I'm really wanting to get new tires+rims and a rear sway bar on the rear. For the inside.. no real ideas other than painting the black glittery plastic, a dark red sparkley color.

i plan on tomorrow to order tanabe springs..., in the interior autometer gauge, the 2 tone steering wheel looks great but too high on the price for my taste, hmmm, have already the door lights... on the exterior some smoked tinted tailights..., have the rims, the eyelids too, exhaust, intake,, and the rear bumper cover looks nice, also was thinking the xB 2008 seats are more comfortable i like them better so wondering if they could be installed on the xD easily?? both of the, hmmm will have to borrow my frinends xB to see...
