Looks good so far, nice and clean. You should add an CAI to compliment the sound of the TRD axleback.

Also, what eyelids do you have?

Honestly, idk what the brand the eyelids are, my friend got them for me for my birthday, but i can gladly find out if you would like. Also, i would like a CAI eventually, but more focused on my aggressive stance ATM.

Dont waist money on an intake! It wont net you anything but 5 butt dyno hp! Save for some nice wheels. Your going in the right direction just keep it clean!

AFTER i get my aggressive stance...wheels..obviously, than i was going to consider either CAI and Headers, or a lip kit....idk how much i like the kit so im heading towards the CAI//H.

All that will do is make your car more noisy! You wont gain anything really except a waist of money. I like the stock lines. I never got a lip kit. They do look good but dont need one. I would actually look at doing wheels then get the sideskirts only from the scion tC lip kit (aka GFX or TRD lip kit). They go well with the stock lines but give it a little something as well.

This is personal experience. I did all this and it was a waste. Coulda been turbo long time ago. I actually almost was but decided to part out and save for a new ride since i have a kid coming. I got a truck and now the tC will go towards something of my wifes choosing since i will drive the truck again after the baby is born.

Yea if your gonna turbo dont spend the money. You will sell the intake since you dotn need it for the turbo and you will make maybe $100 and new they are at least $200. Maybe buy used if you want but i would save for wheels until your done with school. Also thanks on the congrats!
