We are located in worcester, about an hour or so from the cape.

I would much rather turbo it but I am limited to Toyota options for now. This is what I was thinking, What would you take off? What would you add?

Pedestal spoiler or lip spoiler?
Rear LED Tails or no?

Ground Effects

TRD Strut Tie Bar
TRD Performance Exhaust System
TRD Rear Sway Bar


QUESTIONS
REAR LED??
pedestal or lip

 

to answer your questions I'd go w/ the lip spoiler and keep the stock tails. i think the optional tails look REALLY stupid

 

Definitely the lip spoiler - i think the pedestal is ricey (sorry guys)
I'm a fan of the rear led tails

Fogs are nice
Ground effects is nice
Carbon fibers are nice
LED interior, I would only do blue (not a fan of the amber)
I hate that shift ****, i'd go trd or leave it stock. I've owned them all (even the trd) and i like the stock **** the best!
Pedal covers are cool

If you're limited to toyota for audio too, then thats the best you have at hand

Definitely all of the performance upgrades you listed, but please for the love of God add the trd springs, this car would be completely ruined without a drop.

Oh, and put my vote down for a BSP, its hard to keep clean, but if its a show car, nothing looks better than BSP when clean IMO

(wow this is controversial lol)

 

Okay so since you're limited to Toyota only parts, here's what I would suggest:

EXTERIOR
Ground Effects Kit
Foglight Kit

SUSPENSION
TRD Lowering Springs
TRD Struts/Shocks
TRD Rear Swaybar
TRD Front Strut Tie Bar

WHEELS/BRAKES
TRD 5-Spoke Wheels - LINK
2005 Celica GT-S TRD BBK (Yes, it fits the tC) - LINK

INTERIOR/AUDIO
AM/FM/CD Deck by Pioneer w/IPOD Capability
Might as well get the XM Radio and Bazooka Sub too unless you can go outside of Toyota for the audio
LED Light Enhancements
Sport Pedals
2 in 1 Carpet and Cargo Mats
Auto Dimming Mirror

DRIVETRAIN/POWER
TRD Torque Differential - LINK
TRD Quickshifter
TRD Performance Clutch
TRD Sport Muffler

UNDER THE HOOD
TRD Carbon Fiber Engine Cover Supercharged - LINK
TRD Cold Air Intake
TRD Supercharger (but only because you have to stay Toyota)

Skip the LED tails and skip the spoiler IMO. Also, I'm out in Springfield so I might have to head out to Harr if this gets under way.

 

To add, like Dave said I would go FI instead of supercharged, but then again what is the purpose of building this vehicle? Dealership show car? If I owned a dealership, I'd go turbo and not limit myself to Toyota only parts because I would just want to attract people to the tC itself by showing them the limitless possibilities once you own the car.

 

The purpose of this car is pretty much a display car in the showroom, they may let me bring it to meets, shows etc. The main goal is to promote the car, dealership and our accessories sold through parts and service, hence the limiting to toyota parts.

 

first off dealer installed upgrades cost alot more sometimes that aftermarket cooler upgrades who is gonan pay that price

 

An all TRD tC is a nice idea. Awesome pitch for the dealership too. "you like this tC? we can build one for you just like it!"

 

Fair enough. Then if I were you, I would seriously follow that list I put together. At the very least, get all of the TRD parts i mentioned since there is no limit to what you're allowed to do outside of keeping Toyota, so run wild. Also, consider getting a Flint Mica and RS1 red type paint job. It would go great with the TRD theme. Oh and I just had a great idea; get the BBK I mentioned and give it to me TRD Sparks has good prices


A true statement, however since he's limited to Toyota stuff, he should do his damndest to pimp out the car with every sort of part possible just to demonstrate what you can do after you get the car.

 

Im pretty sure if i were to order anything outside of my parts department(work for a scion dealership) I would probably be unemplyed and unable to fulfill this project.

 

haha yea i can see that happenening...

 

Fair enough, so order them from your parts department and then give them to me. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble

 

Why suggest the TRD springs when he can get the TRD coilovers?

I have yet to see these on a tC.

The idea of a tC with a TRD color scheme is a good idea. I'd include a silver stripe though. A fat one, not the skinny ones. RS1.0 on the bottom and BSP on top.

Also I know it doesn't make for graet show capabilites when trying to look inside but a nice tint would really set the BSP off.

 

I know you work for a dealership but even Scions show cars reach out past there boundearies body kits, cool wings etc is there anyway you would be able to branch out?

I'm pretty sure there arent TRD coilovers unless you combine the TRD shocks and TRD springs and make coilovers.

 

^^ I saw them at the dealership listed as coilovers so that's what I'm going with

 

i chick that knows her car nice

 

Every once in a while

 

I couldnt find them anywhere and I couldnt find them at TRDsparks.com either, so I'm pretty sure they dont exist. You just have to combine the springs and struts to pretty much make coilovers.
