Default The "Your Planned Mods" Thread

I don't recall really seeing this anywhere, but I could be wrong. Lock as necessary.

But I'm curious what people want to do with their tCs... and let's try to keep it feasible and stick with things there's a good chance you'll do - not what you "wish" you could do. I have a few plans listed in my sig, but here's what I'm thinking so far:
    I think simple... If I could do all of this in the next year or so, I'd be set. So what are you thinking? What do you want to do with your car? Or what will you be ABLE to do with your car?

    Not really a mod, per se, but I plan to wire the iPod so that it can sit in the upper armrest section, not the lower one. To me leaving it in the lower section is a complete waste of space. I'll have to see if/how this is possible when I get my tC.

    Since mine's three days old and bone stock (in order of purchase):

    1. TRD exhaust
    2. TRD lowering springs
    3. TRD shocks
    4. (Warranty dependent) K&N or similar CAI
    5. OEM ground effects
    6. (Perhaps) lip spoiler or pedestal spoiler

    How quickly these things get installed depends heavily on my budget (obviously). After these 6 which I am fairly certain about, I'd consider the TRD supercharger (if it ever comes to be).

    And if I had money off the wazoo and didn't car about my warranty I'd get a wide body kit and turbo, etc. etc.
