So, I haven't had my xB long enough to have any mods done to it - I've had it for about 2 weeks - besides an 8 ball shift knob (and a parking sticker

). I was wondering what everyone else's very first mod was so that I could be getting ideas on what to do first. Also, if you have any suggestions on what I should do first please let me know. Oh, and my xB is a 2009 Blackberry Crush Metallic. Thanks!

Before getting it home (dealer installed items): Rear Spoiler, Overhead Console, Pedal Covers, Rear Bumper Protector, and C Pillar Cubbies.
My first Mod after getting it home was the Parking Brake By-Pass for the Nav/DVD Unit.

Rear Spoiler.

Did it myself, bought the spoiler off of eBay. I was nervous drilling holes into a brand new car.

Are you happy with it? How long did it take you to install it?

Sorry it's a little off topic, but I was curious. Lol

TRD suspension & front tower bar, Tein H-Tech springs and Hotchkis F&R sways. I did them all in one shot for 3 hours at the shop.

pioneer Indash nav, steering wheel controls, viper remote start/alarm, grillcraft upper grill, 5000 hids, switched to synthetic oil, removed ugly hubcaps and rocking steelies.

Upcoming, amp & subs (alread have them but want to sell them because im going a different route), blackhouse headlights, remove snorkel... and the list could go on for days.

My wife says its a waste of time and money because I should be happy with how my car is. She shouldve known better marrying a mobile electronics installer that I would mod the car...

At the Dealership- Fogs, Upper speed-grille, Upgraded head unit, Exhuast tip (I let my wife pick em' out, it was originnally her car but she didnt dig it and I did)
In my Driveway-The first mods were sub amp and crossover, and moving the xB badge to the grille and ditching the dealer badge.
