Default First MOD?

Just wondering what would be a good first mod? I just got my TC about 2 weeks ago and I looking for a good first upgrade. Something beside an intake though. I want to wait for the AEM ever though it might be awhile. Also My Dad works for Toyota so I get all TRD stuff at cost. Im thinking maybe lowering it or short shifter something along those lines.

Let me know what ya think

lower it or Ground effects, or both, cheap one would be to tint windows, it is fast and easy and makes any car look nicer imo.

Whatever you would like to mod first! I did my Valentine One radar detector the day after I got it first thing in the morning (hardwired into the car, starts with ignition) and then I just ordered a DC Sports Carbon Strut Bar and I plan on getting tints and the Secret Weapon intake next week. Probably will get a K&N high flow filter for the stock box today, since it will be a direct replacement for the supercharger airbox once the TRD is out, and I can use it for the next week b4 the CAI arrives, and have a high flow filter right away before they make a CAI for the S/C

Beg to differ. I have the hatch, the little sides, and both sunroofs tinted.

It looked REALLY DARK when I first got it, and I was worried I'd loose visability out my sunroof at night, but it actually works out great. And no more forehead tans
