yer going to spend money, might as well do it right and get the right parts the first time instead of getting inferior parts and paying later.
Intake - Go with either Injen or Fujita cai for better pull on fwy or sri for quicker response on street. Check with Ryan at
Next Level Motoring - Custom Car Parts & Accessories! or check with any of our authorized vendors here on site.
Exhaust - TRD is nice yet for the price, might as well go with TANABE MEDALION. If you have to have TRD, then best you go to stealership and give your money away or if you want TRD because of warranty, then just pay the price. Check with Ryan at
Next Level Motoring - Custom Car Parts & Accessories! or check with any of our authorized vendors here on site.
Wheels, the bread and butter - I would suggest you go with either 15, 16 or 17 for wheels, and CONSIDER offset! Depending on the style yer going for.
17, you can have the wheels close to the fender (you didn’t mention "drop" and that’s maybe due to your xB being a DD.) for flushness.
16 being the oem, and 15 with meat on tire for comfort compared to 18.
You can spend from $400 to $1500 depending on style, size, w/tires, w/o tires, new, used, rare wheels. Even if its yer DD, you want to have NICE wheels.
btw, tires on 18 is going to cost you. Then again you now all this ish, since you put money into yer z. Check with Ryan at

Rear bumper protector - scion has one and its okay unless you scrape or drop something on it. Someone here on CxB has used the rubber coating from a rattle can for a thicker surface and cheaper than buying one from the dealer.
Grillecraft grille, yer engine bay is going to be filthy as a back alley whore. Stay with the oem and save money. Other alternative is to purchase the “padanky grill” for that clean grille with the emblem delete (shaved). Check with padanky here on site, hes a good ole bastard or check with any of our authorized vendors here on site for other styles.
Window visor - High percentage of those who have owned the “in channel” visors have run into problems with the felt/rubber seals dropping/sagging in the latter and the visors have cracked due to inferior material. Go with bB visor, PERIOD. Check with Yukimi at myautofashion.com
Audio – Check with yer local audio performance shops. It’s better to stay local for the convenience. i.e. install, warranty, upgrades, etc.
Scion illumination kit – Stealership if not check with Jason aka: SCVSCIONS here on site. He is one of our trusted authorized vendors or check with any of our authorized vendors here on site.
L.E.D dome light – It can be had at any automotive shop. I got my bright white LED dome light for $12. You can also check with any of our authorized vendors here on site.
Quality header – DC Sports, Megan. Check with any of our authorized vendors here on site.
Btw, you didn’t mention lowering springs or coilovers since yer vehicle is “going” to be a DD. You can have a nice drop and not compromise the ride with Goldline springs or Spy springs. If you go with coilovers, then CKS, TEIN. KSports or others will benefit yer ride. Check with Ryan at

Good luck on yer find and welcome to yer newest addiction. Get the goods, and yer DD will love you long time.
