If I had $1k, I'd be getting wheels!

not 18's, but shaves 1.5 lbs or so per wheel. add in the fact that that is 1.5 lbs of rotational mass saved... well... you get more than 6 pounds saved lets say.

guyz guyz!!! hold up i didn't put wheels as an option 
and there's a reason for it..i will get them once i reach my 30,000 miles (change both rims n tires)
im already confused as it is without u ppl talking about weight, tires, rims etc...
i already have an i-Pod adaptor and im thus not looking for improvement in the sound system cos honestly a girl with subthings is kinda ridiculous
i see that the top 2 are the body kit and the spoiler do u think that a spoiler (except for the lip one) would look good without the body kit? or the two things usually should go together?

The OEM kit is a lip kit. Something like Kaminari would be a "body kit" in this case.

i called the dealership and he said if i get what's on the Scion website (lip kit) id pay around 1 k and 200 for installation but i cal also get from him a full body kit cos he has 'connections' he quoted me for a regular full body kit also about 1k and painting it for 1/10 of the usual price (ca. 300-500)
should i believe him?
or should i go about this all by myself? (i.e. finding a full body kit online and making it paint/install by a mechanic)

Dunno if they'll fit or not, but they have the Homelink system built into the driver's side, leaving you free to eBay any other non-Homelink Toyota autodimming mirror, giving you all the features at half the price that they want for the "kit".
Just my next hairbrained idea; probably won't end up working. Like I said, I havn't even measured them to fit yet.
