Hey guys, I got my tC a few months back and I'm only 16 so I don't have much money. I was wondering if there are any simple mods I can start off with and slowly work my way up? Thanks in advance.

 

cheapest one i can think of are new grills or an hid kit

 

tint or lowering springs

 

springs x2 best mod ive done to date

 

s2k antenna

 

Should I get these from the dealer? Or order them elsewhere?

 

And thanks for the replies =]

 

elsewhere. the only mod you should buy from a dealer is a s/c

 

Mind linking me to any sites that sell them?

 

check the sponsored sales section. i got my s2k antenna from ebay

Et cetera ad nauseum...

 

I would recommend an Injen Cold Air Intake... it just sounds so nice in Short Ram mode

 

smoke your tails. fogs. springs, strut bar all under 200 and you can do them yourself.

 

tint
s2k antenna
sway bar
short shifter
springs
grille
hid's

all of those are at fair prices

Go to trdsparks.com and get a TRD rear sway bar for 160.00.... Definetly makes the TC more fun of a car to drive.
