The Wade rears were too thick and the window clunked when it was going up and hit the in channel vent shade.
I reordered the Weathertech rears (much thinner) and they did not clunk. Now I can leave the windows open a bit in rainy/snowy weather without getting the interior wet.

so far the only reall waste of money i think was the 2tone seat covers, so badly made but theyre gonna givd me a refund. Maybe the oil catch can but for 15.00 off ebay you cant complain too much and yeah it does catch some oil.
a cheesy looking gas door cover, looked better on eBay that it does on the XB. Then the shipping charge was 12.00 and it was shipped in an envelope 1st class for 84 cents. Cheesy and ripped off

Hmmm, luckily, i haven't really in my opinion wasted any money, but if i did have to think about it, i would say the TRD (Waydo Sportivo) struts and shocks ($295) cuz they're about like the clutch--> will only last about 30k miles.

I barely have anything done to my xB but I think the biggest waste "mod" would be the cargo cover... sure, it'll hide your stuff, but there are speakers back there and the cargo cover muffles the sound a little bit. This isn't a huge complaint but definitely something to consider...
Right now, i took the cargo cover off and put it in the storage compartment in the back of the box! lol!

The Boomerang armrest!
I liked it when I firts got it but 2 months later all of the screws are loose and the cheap plastic means you can't tighten them. I tried but all of the holes are now stripped. Looking for a replacement now!
