Spend about 40 of those bucks to come to Auburn on February 11! We're having a Scion meet!!! In all seriousness, LOOKING at other xAs is a huge benefit. See which direction you want to take your car. It'll be lots of fun!

Other than that, window tints and lowering springs are the lethal combination for the first mods.

Sound deadening and insulation, especially if you do a lot of highway driving!

I would drop that onto my car payment. $300 added to a regular payment would get me out of the loan about 2 months sooner. Toys are nice, but 2 months of my life is nicer.

Couple of lap dances and cases of beer? (Your 20 just sounds natural )
Header/ and sound deadening. I picked up a crap load of Jute pad I'm gonna stuff my xA. I've already added a ton of Dynamat.

Bob you are really on the sound deading kick. I thnk you should ecome an edead salesman. But sound deading is a good thing to do with the $300. for about $100 you can do the entire car.
