spend a little money: springs, wheels, alarm, sway bar, exhaust

spend a lot: all of the above with turbo, custom interior, subs amps and touch screen HU, BBK

I wouldn't get coilovers unless you are tracking ur car or want a full show car. Also, if you do start modding, you NEED an alarm or other security system.

If you really dont attend shows, putting advans or these 3000 dollar wheels on tc's is (in my loudest deepest voice) STUPID!!! why why why. we drive tc's you guys. IMO our cars dont deserve high end/custom wheels because they aren't high end cars. Anyway, get yourself some DECENT wheels and better tires, a reasonable drop, coilovers not needed, nice lip kit, VRD grilles, seat covers, maybe new headunit/system, full exhaust, intake, and a night at the strip club and put the rest in savings you fool. Save your money and pay some bills. Or...buy a big screen for the super bowl?

This has to be the most IDIOTIC statement I have heard here. Our cars dont deserve Advans and such cause what? I know damn right they arent high end cars, personally im looking to get upgrade to a nicer car myself, but tc's are still NICE CARS. Whats wrong with putting some nice rims on our cars? I must be blind, please show me where it says on the Advan box, "Only for high end cars, tc's are a no no." When its tastefully done, Advans and such look awesome with any tuner type car.

That sounds like you need to file Bankruptcy Chapter 12 or 11 or whatever

lol... that aint gonna happen... got the house at a foreclosure auction for $35k, its was appraised at $98k before i did any work to it...

maybe i should sell it, and pay my bills, and then boost away... or i should just get a job w/ this guy n not get paid for months... lol


but u should buy anything for ur tC... save it and collect interest and let the money grow.

Wow, SL is awesome. This has been the most entertaining thread I have seen in a while. Half the responses tell the dude to indulge in non-Scion parts (booze, strip clubs, etc) [Of course, the last time I checked, there weren't any Scion strip clubs, but maybe the dude with the architect money will invest in one, now the idea is out there and HE has the connections... ], and then a lot of responses were for the dude with the money to spread the wealth. You gotta love SL.

My advice? Do what makes you happy... and spend your money there. But, since you asked SL for help, buy a drink for each SL member that gave you advice. That seems fair and a win-win for all.
