Customizing on the cheap

Customizing on the cheap
In the past I've spent serious money customizing a car or two. Even though I was satisfied with the way the cars looked and performed, in the end the cost-to-enjoyment ratio wasn't really worth it. So with my xB I decided to see how much enjoyment I could squeeze from low-budget mods. I got the wing, tail lights and window tint when I ordered the xB. Here's what I've done since.
Debadged the back - $0
SoCal Speed Shop decal - $2.50
Glowing blue skull in lighter socket (consider it my interior lighting kit) - $5
Hella horns (not seen, but heard) - $73
Moon disks - $112
bB front badge - $23
Flaming iron cross (to epoxy over the bB badge) - $21
Blue dots for the tail lights - $8
So far I'm enjoying it at least as much as if I had blown a couple thousand just on new wheels and tires. Not bad.

How do you like the Hella horns? How do they sound?
THis may sound weird, but I'm looking for horns similar to those heard on Mad Max. Always loved that sound since I was a kid, and I'd love to get that sound out of the xB.

You notice any wind noise being generated from your grills? Others have mentioned a whistle or wind tunnel noise from the air blowing into the those style grills.
Thanks.
