Hey guys and girls. I just recently purchased a 2011 Scion xB Release Series 8.0 and I am loving every bit of it so far. I am from the Harrisburg Pa area and was wondering if there is anybody out there that might be close. I was also wondering about doing some more mods too it soon and if people might have some suggestions. Thanks!!!!!

Welcome to the RS club. Looks like you exhausted your factory options at the dealer but I think you might be mistaken, there is no front TRD sway bar unless you're referring to the strut brace (the one that goes in the engine bay) which is one of the few factory things you didn't get. I love the big brake kit but after getting rid of the TRD's for 18" wheels I like the ride better of them and they can't be run with smaller wheels.
I would say you've got a lot of mods already but there are always more. Headers and S-Pipe are common for people who have modded to the extent you have. Most people opt to go lower than the TRD's will allow. Car audio is a big one as well. I did a rear wiper delete and sharkfin antenna, both were bought from companies that painted them to match the factory paint. I also painted my headunit bezel to match the voodoo blue which was a better look than the black on black.
For your records, Sail Blue by Rust-Oleum is the closed rattle can match to your xB's Voodoo paint.

Thank you, like I said I am enjoying every minute of being an xB owner. Yeh I kinda went a little crazy with the factory mods and I am finding out slowly that some of it wasn't all worth and some of it is. But hey you live and you learn plus I can always take it off and sell it online. I really do like the aggressive look that it has with the wheels and big brake kit, it makes it stand out alot more. As far as audio goes, that is always the big focus on all of my cars/trucks due to being a car audio installer for a couple of places for about ten years now and still doing it on the side. Thanks for the tid bit of advice on the paint. Any suggestions on where I can look at some lighting upgrades at?

Here are my suggestions: High quality and reliability
Oznium.com - Flexible LED strips (interior and exterior applications). PLLC-2 Surface Mount LEDs for gauge cluster color change. Tons of LED bulbs for all sorts of applications
V-LEDS.com - Best and brightest LED replacement bulbs I have found, but not cheap. Their 194s and Festoons are insanely bright. They have the dual color switch back turn signal LED bulbs (cool mod).
LEDMod.com - Cool stuff. Puddle Lights, custom gauge overlays, custom map and dome LED modules (really bright). LED replacement bulbs but not as bright as V-LEDS. They also have the dual color switch back turn signals.
All three vendors are great to work with and shipping is very fast.

Awesome. Can't wait too meet them all. That is a very sad day in the xB world. So what does it take to be apart of the scikotic club? I am finding out that everybody that has a Scion is pretty cool and down to earth which I love. Does anybody have any suggested site to check out about some headlight assemblies something that can be black and incorporate some halos into it?
