All my parts are dealer bought and installed so they cut me a pretty good deal, matching any internet price I throw at them and then some. My ride is with them right now getting the supercharger and the Nav installed. And for all of you that like to get you parts off the net, there's another good site to check out, www.newscionparts.com you'll find that some of their items are priced even cheaper than trdsparks.com

My bad, I realized I didn't answer some of the questions that were addressed to me. The TRD BBK is really just a rebranded StopTech BBK and all the papers (including the installation manual and decals) that come with the kit will reaffirm this because the only TRD logo you'll see will be on the box and the caliper itself. I guess if you really wanted to save a little you could buy the StopTech version and just have the calipers repainted with the TRD logo but I didn't want to go through the trouble. As for any improvements... hell if I know, LOL! I just got these for show. Oh, and sorry for kinda blowing up on you torquetC, I guess I just don't like it when people second guess the investments (more like write offs) that I've made on my car.

Nah bro, i totally understand - no need to appolgize, at all, but thanks. I hate it how some of the people come on and say the TRD stuff isnt as good as such and such but it works together perfect. It just comes together right, and usually has some of the best fit/finish possible.

^^^ agreed

there is a AE86 in town (red and black) and its loaded with TRD stuff, my fave part is the TRD header.

But yeah I dont think ppl would say that car sucked cause of all the TRD parts in it. And i dont like when ppl put down TRD parts.

that is true but i think that tc08 is just kidding. And imperial you are getting the genuine scion nav deck? I was thinking about that, but if im correct you cannot keep the tc cover? and how much are paying for it.

Already have the SNS on my ride and yes, correct installation does involve getting rid of the HU cover but I've read a few post from people that have managed to do without. I on the other hand welcomed the change.

I'm trying to make my car a "TRD TC". so far I have oil and radiator caps, front and rear sways, shift ****, shifter (I also shortened it) lowering springs, shaved the tC emlem and put a TRD emblem on the back, did a DIY grill and put another TRD emblem in the front. This summer I'm going to get the S/C and exhaust (hopefully i get the money)
here's a few pics:

TRD parts are very nice and they look clean and all, but they're just soo expensive.

unless you have hookups somehow, a full TRD tC looks to be about just under $30K.
