I've been thinking this through, not sure where to start...

Brand new BSP scion TC, what should i spend it on first?

-Ground effects kit?
-New wheels?
-Window tint + sound system + other small stuff?

by my income w/ all bills and stuff, i'll get about 250-300 dollars extra to spend, so I was thinking maybe get rid of a big purchase first that way I don't have to wait as long to save up enough money..

what do you think?

I had 1100 I just dropped a lil bit on my sound system

I got two memphis pr 12's, memphis 6.5 mclass co-ax for the back, memphis 5.25 comp's for the front. I cant decide if I want to get the amps next or keep saving

Personally of the choices I would go with wheels, but i'm not a huge sound system guy. Honestly though do whatever it is that you want, it is your car after all!

I got 1200 to spend also I was going to buy a Eclipse AVN just got it quoted at 2,000 :nails:
guess I am going to have to wait a little while longer :tap:

lowered and rims

save the money for this>

tC TRD SUPERCHARGER RELEASED 9/28/05 (http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=85497/url)

If it takes too long to save the money, i say and sweet sounds system and some lowering springs!

You can get the pioneer avc1 for like 700 on ebay

I went - Tint - Engine - Effects - Stereo - Lighting - Wheels

If that counts for anything...

Lots of little stuff adds up.

Springs, tint, sub, painted parts.

personally i would go with my suspension and give it a nice drop then some rims. however it is your money and do what you think is best because it is your car. :)

i would go...
tint then performance....
im not a big fan of having a nice looking car with no balls.. you know what i mean?

how bout an alarm? it was the second thing i got. you can never be too careful

TEIN COILOVERS

I personally would suggest doing the drop first, then tint. It makes a huge difference in the looks of the car.

The rims I would do last, just so you can get some use out of those brand new tires. Unless you feel they are just totally horrid then I would replace them.

Just keep an eye out for what type of deals you see out there, if they are the ones you can't just pass up, get the part. That's what I'm doing with my tC...got the drop / tint / exhaust / intake / cf hood because I found them so cheap and would be kicking myself in the ___ later if I didn't get them. lol

Get the oem lip kit and then tein s-tech springs

i went tint.hids.fogs.sound

but i'd get some coilovers if i were you

i also cant decide. i think im throwin down money for tint, fogs, a drop first.
FYI, modified mag had a tC dyno workover thingy. stock ran 139 hp and 145lbs tq to the wheels. with intake, exhaust, headers. (AEM CAI, DC sports exhuast and headers) it jumped to 154hp and 156lbs tq. something to maybe consider. ;)

AuditoryCheesecake....
what exhaust kit do you have?

I'd do rims and tint.. then a good head unit, then preformance, then a system

I did it backwards.. well, Headunit, tint, preformance, and soon rims... but the stock speakers should hold you down for a while

I would say wheels and a drop.

Bro, just take it easy, 1200 to spend. you don't have to spend all that money. If you do, drop in a TRD exhaust system and injen intake. Or exhaust and some rims for a decent price. Don't get upgraded springs with the stock shocks. It's better to upgrade both your springs and shocks which would probably cost you a good 1000 to do it the right way. You don't want to upgrade springs and blow out your stock shocks after a few months, just my opinion on the lowering part. If you can install some of the parts yourself you could save money instead of for labor. Up to you bro, next thing i'm going to get are some wheels. I'll post pics up when i get it.

Springs, strut bars, sway bars, short shifter,... your car will become a lot funner to drive. Just my opinion,

Jon

rims, rims, rims....nothing changes appearance more than wheels. it seperates you from everyone else....
