Hang on... are we talking about the add-ons from the dealer as well? 'Cause my tC was a little over 21K when I picked it up (ground fx, security, pedals, shift ****, sub, ...). But haven't spent a whole lot more since then. At this point I'm really more interested in performance add-ons, not ICE.
Just out of curiosity, were the purchases you guys made planned from the begininng? Like, "Well, my car is going to be around 20K, so then I have about 3 or 4 grand to drop on extra stuff". Or was it more after the fact, like, "Oh, I should go buy that thing for my car now!" I'm sorry to say that my personality kinda leans toward the latter.

I'm a loyal customer of newegg, I buy all computer parts there. The parts I'm referring to are the stereo system and in-dash LCD screen... I think it has to do with the Best Buy in Auburn. My friend isn't pocketing the cash since I do have the receipts, maybe it's 15% because of it just opening up? Who knows...

The only options we got were the TRD exhaust, TRD springs, K&N CAI, and leather.
Mhhhmmmm leather. I think a Bazooka tube and amp will be next. The stock sound system sucks butts!!!
