Hey all...

My wife and I have been Scion fans for a while. Now that I recently secured more lucrative employment, we may be on our way to Scion ownership in as little as 6 months.

Our vehicle of choice is the Xb (gotta have the toaster). Have any of you guys modified yours? We'll most likely keep it stock for a looooong time (since I am not rich and simply buying a new car is a humongous step for me). We'll probably outfit it with some factory options (she wants to get the interior lighting accents).

I was curious to find out if any of you guys have really made your Xbs sporty. Let me know of anything you guys have done to yours - the more interesting (or outright wacky) the better...

Thanks for your time.

all i can say is save your money when it comes to factory options there a total rip you can go to like pep boys or something and get neons and have them installed and it will stil be cheaper then from factory as for the 6 disk indash skip it its a low level pioneer and it sucks all factory radios do i bought mine as plain and option less as possible but its slowly geting to were i want it to be

expect to wait to get it, they have a 2 day to 2 month+ waiting list due to the fact that they don't make alot of them, I'll have mine in 7-10 days, as long as your not picky you can get yours fairly fast, but if your picky about something like color it could take a few months, scion/toyota doesn't want to flood the market with them, the only option I got with mine was the cruise control, and the 5 speed manual, I can buy/make other things for half the price, HOWEVER, the warranty on the car will end immediately if you do any engine work beyond an oil change yourself, you have to take it to them or a registered repair shop to get it worked on, this is what I have heard during filling out the purchase paperwork, good luck, and I hope you get one
