Sway bar... even a modest drop (H.Tech, TRD, NF210) looks really nice and you don't have to worry about it. I'm in Chicago so I had the same thoughts.

Yea... HIDs are sweet...

What's your goal for your car? Do you want it to look cool or handle better?

word. i'm kind of in the same boat as you. it just seems like summer is mod season. i just want to buy everything !

i have silverstars right now. i think they are good for what they're worth. they definitely do improve night driving a tad. but of course, if HID's are in your mix, go HID, it'll be a crazy difference.

if you're focusing on performance for the box, get the RSB. if more about looks and stuff, then HIDs or a drop.

Save your money and buy an HID kit you wont regret it once you go HID you will say to your self why didn't I buy this earlier I've had my HID'S for a while now and I love them If you want to buy a kit this is your man https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...333&highlight= He's a cool cat and for your turn signals try these http://autolumination.com/switchback.html The Switcback Bulb is designed to light bright white when the running lights are on. When the turn signal is activated, the light will automatically instantly switch from white to amber, and flash. These are great for clear front turn signal

or you can get the silverstar turn signals like i did. they have a blue/rainbow coating but light up amber to be legal. they're quite sexy if you ask me. looks cosmetically better than those LED bulbs.

A little off topic but if I have an amber side reflector but cleared headlights is that legal? Or does the headlight have to be amber?

legal as long as that amber reflector is there. depends on your state really. the light should flash amber if the reflector is not present. that's my understanding. there is a document out there that TOMAS posted up that lists everything if you're really worried.

lol hey you can have no reflector in some states, but most cops wont know or care. only if you have state inspections or something will you need to worry about it and just put some yellow paper over it or something like that and it is legal. the side markers i dont think matter....
