This page is a collection of small customizations that have happened since May 2011.
I added red reflectors to all four doors.
I added a 2-inch convex spot mirror on each side to help check each side of the car.
I painted the lettering on my valve cover. The Toyota emblem is painted in silver, and inside the emblem is Stingray Metallic (my car's body color).
I put some black carpet on the package shelf to keep my Kleenex box in place. The carpet helps to quiet rattles.
I put black carpet in the driver's cubby. My sunglasses are stored here when not in use.
I put black carpet in the main compartment in the overhead console to help quiet rattles.
I put a Scion logo in the photo window of the overhead console.
I made a bracket out of sheet metal to hang my Motorola Bluetooth speaker on my overhead console.
When I was rear ended, the body shop told me they would have to order a new "xB" hatch emblem since they couldn't salvage the old one (evidently they don't know the dental floss trick) so I asked them for the old broken hatch emblem.
I took it home, glued it back together, then using epoxy I glued some threaded studs onto the back side. I cut down some fender washers and spray painted them flat black.
I used nylon lock nuts (shown at right) to secure the emblem into my front grill.
