First congrats on buying a Tc. Second if you want to go with all of that, personally I would say buy the supercharger and have it done by the dealer, and don't buy any of the rest. My reasons are mostly what you pay and what you get. First can't do the trd intake with the supercharger unless you hack it which a dealer most likely will not do. The exhaust is very expensive for just an axle-back. I suggest going with the new megan racing oe styled when it is released. It will be cheaper and will be a complete catback. The twm short shifter is a much better shifter than the trd. For tie bars that is mostly personal preference but the trd are cheaper online. Shocks again are personal preference but the trd's are cheaper online. Springs in my opinion are not worth it. I have tein s-techs and think they are perfect. Depends on how much drop you want though. As for the clutch I would definately buy that aftermarket. It is not really a necessity with the amount of power you will be producing. I am finishing my supercharger install this week and should be making at least 230 whp and I am not going to be replacing my clutch for sometime. Any other questions feel free to ask.

If your buying all those TRD parts with it, I hope you know you can't finance those items. You have to pay for those up-front. They are considered Aftermarket parts. Your looking at prob about 5-6k just in parts/labor, and that wont even be going towards the actual car.

Where did you get this from? The only part that you cannot finance is the S/C, but some have even been able to get that! But, anyways, it best to get it stock w a S/C and buy all aftermarket!

Have to second Smthkd, all that is a bunch of garbage. You can finance everything, but the supercharger. It changes the federal emissions on the vehicle and therefore you can not finance from Scion Solutions (TFS). You can finance the vehicle & supercharger thru your own bank by buying the vehicle first. Then refinacing to include theprice of car and supercharger. Would actually be 2 transactions, but financed as one. This is no big deal when you explain what you want to do.
