Default Idea's on what to do!!! Please Help!!

Ok so I'm a 17 year old who's had his scion TC for about a year now. So far I have:

Black Altezza Tail Lights
Halo Fogs
Bazooka 10" sub from scion
Pedestal spoiler
Custom Painted Interior
Custom Shift ****
Custom Painted Rims
Interior Lights
6000K HID Kit
Blue Lighted Engine Bay
Pioneer Head Unit with 3.5" Screen
and a little more...


I have a huge problem, I began my exterior modding and shortly there after moved into a new neighborhood, and at this neighborhood they decided to make the driveway have a lip to pull into it. This is keeping me from getting lowering springs and/or a lip or body kit for my tc....very aggrivating!!!

So I have 500 dollars to spend and I need some ideas of what to do, I can do installs myself no problem so just please help me figure out what to do!!!

Thanks,
Drew

Hmm...I might just have to try that, I was thinking about doing a exhaust and intake combo...maybe getting the TRD Exhaust and the injen CAI?

some tint and some springs would be nice, but you could get springs, tint, and short shifter, or like springs,tint, intake etc you have a decent amount of money to mix it up

Lose the ricer tails, then get some H-Techs or TRD springs and park in the street.

hey now, i'm completely against the ricer tails, haha mine aren't rice specially not with the white and black theme of the car, i wish i had pics, but honestly they don't look rice at all, i see all the tc's with the TYC's and i just wanted to be different...with the driveway i'm in a rental so i can change the driveway to "accomodate" my car and the streets are towing enforced, stupid home owners association...what do you thing about the exhaust intake combo???

yea like i said, def. trying to stay away from rice, which is why i wanted to go with the TRD cause it sounds clean and has a nice low sound which i like, I might try the springs and see how they work out for me...

Assuming you want to go faster (you mentioned I/H/E), save the money until you can afford to go FI.
Your mods list consists of small things here and there...it looks like you spend your hard earned money as soon as you get it.
Thats just my opinion, though.
