I've so far installed an INJEN SES exhaust, on my car while my parents were at work. The stock exhuast I can't leave anywhere soo I piled my dirty laundry on top of it. I don't think they have any idea....well at least I hope they're not...[/quote]

Perhaps we need to start the SSSM (Secret Society of Scion Modders), to help others in the same boat find believeable excuses and ways to mod without getting caught - I mean.... to stand up for ourselves as men and do whatever we want!

My wife continually raids my wallet, so I started sticking my cash somewhere safe 5-10 bucks at a time so once I get enough I'll get something for my car, does this count? I guess you could call it preemptive secret modding?

I just got my car about two months ago and I'm definitely part of the club and probably will be from years to come...
My wife doesn't want me modding my car at all...not really because she hates the modding I would do, but more because I always rag on her for spending too much money on her shoes, her clothes, random things etc. So she doesn't see why I get to spend money on things "I don't really need' for my car..
Anyways, my modding started right from picking up the car...I ordered some mud flaps, door sill kits and floor mats from a scion parts website, put them in right after I got the car from the dealership and told her that the dealer threw them in for free.
A couple of weeks later I told her that I would need a Sway bar to help when the winter comes...she bought my argument and let me get one...
I already have many things in mind that I'll be getting for the car that I will be telling her are 'Christmas presents from my extended family'.... hopefully she buys it...
I love secret modding

I would like to add to this, if some people really think this is a serious post about REALLY joining a club called the "Secret Society of Scion Modders."
NOTE: that "club" as in having the same interest or sharing the same idea, no intentions of make an "officially club" soorry this post offends you THAT much to use inappropriate language. This post is all humour, and enjoyment. So please be nice, if material offends you in anyway, don't post. Thank you.
I like what you guys are throwing out. Good start and very funny and cool ideas. Keep em coming.

I'm suppposed to be saving all my money for school, but I save about half of what I make at work every day, and keep it in one of my drawers to save up for stuff for my car.
Sometimes, i'll say that I had it before I started saving for school, but just picked up the nerve to install it.

Told my parents my megan coils were "factory TRDs" that I ordered when I bought the car and they took 4months to get in from JAPAN due to customs issues.
I also hid a 91MR2 Turbo at a friends garage for 6 months without telling them!!! I'm a horrible kid huh!!

I'm doing this all the in pure enjoyment of getting to know MY CAR. I'm sure all the modders out there feel me on this one. I don't mod it to show, ok ok some mods are. But it's the feeling of doing something yourself, the feeling of pride that you did something not many can do.
Girlfriendwise, I love her to death, she's a little jealous about how I take care of my car more than I take care of her lol. This is because I spend almost a whole day detailing it, I'm pretty persistent. lol. But hey, she shouldn't be cause this is the car that, takes her from place to place whenever we go out! I'll never tell her how much ALL my mods will cost, considring that I have a future estimated cost of how much EVERYTHING WILL COST lol. We're lookin somewhere around 7-9gs lol.

yeah when i lived at home when i first bought my car, i bought some rims and i parked my car at a frends house and walked back home. i worked nights and they worked days. but when the saw them on accident they freaked out. i moved out shortly after that fight.
but now i live with my girl friend and she used to give me crap about it untill she started goin to shows with me. then she bought an RS3 xB when they came out. now she love modding hers too.

im part of the club, kinda, i do stuff to my car without my fiance knowing, and i just show it to her at a later time, like a couple of months later when ive "lost" the recipt, or cant find the transaction on the computer anywere.
she gets mad, but then i tell her its been on the car for a while and there is no use taking it off know

LOL, this thread is funny especially cause I went to day to get rims and tires while my wife was at work... they had to order them but I can just see my excuse....
"I dont know honey, I came out of the store and they were just on the car.... I must be the victim of a drive by modding"

lol...well as of now..i havn't really modded my car with performance parts. I've added halogen lights though, looks a lot better. And a strut bar ( lmao) but...you know. I'll get it nice n ready , slowly but surely. Unfortunetly there isn't too much to do to an xa due to lack of Space under the hood.
But im going to put....ehaust, cold air intake.....and that's it...from there it's going to be all looks...............well...maybe one day if i have 3000 bucks laying around i'll try for a turbo ^_^ haha
___________________________________
But other than adding mods...xa's are quick little cars. They're so light, i can beat some of my friends at the take off b/c my car is so light. Having a stick shift helps a lot too...no offense to you automatic drivers.

I told my fiance and my Mom, the only 2 that care if I mod my car, that the springs "Are a safty feature. If I have to evade an accident, or brake suddenly the stiffer springs and lower center of gravity cut down on body roll, so more of the turning/braking force gets to thee ground."

I guess I'm not part of this little club. Not only do I mod my car with my wife's knowledge, but I do it with her encouragement. In fact, she's even given me a couple mods as gifts.
Call me lucky, I suppose.
