Default simple Mod questions

Very new to this, haven't done much to my car yet and really want to start working on it.

I want to do coilers but haven't found a solid vendor or part i like,

Whats the best fit for a 2010 xD? (also hoping to find them in red)

Also Looking to swap out my front grill for something more sporty looking, maybe mesh or straight lined aluminium.

Also has anyone had any luck installing fog lights under the headlights in what looks like a good spot for them where those plastic covers are? Was hoping i could pull that off but when i talked to Scion Dealer they said they don't make them and can't install them.

Any advice?

Yeh you would think those plastic cover's under the headlights would be the perfect spot. xD

I've been looking for a set of fog lights as well. Unfortunately they are discontinued. Optimize released a limited quantity around the 2008 release. Sucks because I'd pay good money for a set of fogs (new or used).

I've modded my suspension a bit. Went with TRD lowering springs, rear sway bar and shocks. Sporting 18" TRD mags. Love the result. Everything fits properly. It's clean, feels good and the drop isn't too aggressive. Installed it all myself. Quite easy if you have access to a lift and shop tools (I work in a shop )

If you have any questions pertaining to the installation I can help you out!

Is that regarding suspension?

Also-

Cant' you just buy a pair of light's and mount them- then run some wire to a place (not sure where) so that they run 24/7?

Suspension, electrical... whatever you need help with man. You could probably buy/salvage a set of projectors (which is what I'm planning on doing) and mount them to the bumper (not bumper cover). You'd have to mount them in such a way that they slightly stick out of a hole in the covers (made by you) and aimed correctly. I have one projector that I was able to salvage from a scrapped xB. Waiting on another before I attempt a custom install.

The Scion xD uses the same suspension as the Toyota Yaris, so you can look into those coilovers. The xD is a little heavier than the Yaris, however, so you might want to look into stiffer spring rates.
