Default $2k to spend on the xB2. Any ideas?

My currents mods are as follows:
TRD shocks/struts/springs/sway bar
17" Scion OEM wheels
HIDs

EDIT: Forgot to include sub/amp system

Kinda bored of my xB2 and I want to spice it up a bit . Upgrading the upper grille is on the to do list for sure. Any other ideas/suggestions are welcome. I won't be modding anything that has already been upgraded.

Get some more exciting wheels. 17 or not, the OEM style is pretty weak.

Still on the fence on that one. The front ones are tinted to match the oem colored glass on the rear windows but TX just passed some bs law about tint starting Sept 1st so I have a feeling they are gonna start cracking down on illegal tint.

I beg to differ the 17s look really good, the only thing they need are spacers and extended studs for a more flush look.

I'll be boosting it at some point so those items wouldn't be worth purchasing imo

That is a big one on my list as well. I'm waiting to see if the 5 axis lip kit will continue to drop in price. I'd like to keep it at or below $1000 for the lip kit and for paint.

Pay debt, and or save up for boost. Or get an LSD and clutch/flywheel and save up for install costs lol. Best to get that out of the way before boost. Def dont get new wheels over your OEM 17's. Maybe you could get some rear 15mm spacers to improve the look. If you wanna tint do 35 up front to match rears. Thats about all I have for now.
