Ah, as I was told, the decision is solely up to you. Would you rather start off doing performance work or body work?

The best recommend I can offer is just check out the profiles of other members or scan through the registry. See what they did to their xB's and come to a decision on which parts of their mods you do like and which can wait.

If you are already saying that the looks are bothering you somewhat, then my suggestion is do some body work.

I think the car looks fantastic from the outside when it's dropped an inch or so on 18" rims and has a rear spoiler. That's just me, though.

Sorry, forgot that you had commented on it's lack of power...

I added an AEM intake (I know a bunch of people went with Injen) and exhaust. After those additions, I feel that the car's power is just fine for me.

If you have money to spend, throw in a super charger. That'll surely give you the power that you feel is missing. :D

power is fine with the auto. if you want something more than a cool commuter / mini suv, your not considering the right vehicle.

I'd start with the rims b/c the stock hubcaps are a bit lacking in the style department
