Or even if any of those are bad quality and should whip out the extra bucks to buy something worth the value...

well, you aren't going to need the clutch or intercooler or blow off valve because your getting a supercharger and your getting an automatic.

if you are going to be performance oriented, get a manual, autos are slow. learn how to drive a manual and find one.

as for your suspension, i wouldn't drop the car that low for fear of botteming out and scraping, i'm happy with my trd springs. also add trd struts and front and rear sway bars.

Most people use a BPV with the S/C and use water/methanol cooling instead of intercooler with a S/C. Also, if you're going auto, you'll need some type of tranny cooler, but the only reason you'll need the cooling system or such would be if you added a higher lb. pulley. A stock S/C doesn't need anything but the S/C, once you start upgrading to a higher pulley, header, etc, you'll need some piggyback engine management, so search around and do your homework before jumping into this. There's a ton of good info here.

Didn't even notice the clutch/auto thing. Lol, you need to do a lot of reading on howstuffworks.com, and here before you even consider spending that money. I'm not trying to be mean, but you need knowledge on how to spend that money correctly without us just telling you what to buy.

if you get the body kit, the only kit i'm aware of that will fit with absolutely no issues is a geniune kaminari aero kit. but i am going to say this and your not going to like it.

your a kid, your 16, you just got your license. something bad is going to happen to this car, maybe not right away, but very soon. so don't waste time taking it to get a body kit put on and painted right away because trust me, you will hit something or be hit by something, so leave the body stock for now.

Yeah, stick seems the way to go...

And hey draxcaliber, do you think the Scion TC Razzi ABS Aero-Flex Full Air Dam Kit would fit?

that really isn't something i can tell from pictures, but there are lots of kits, some are good, but some are junk, don't fit match up, follow the cars body lines.

the kit would fit, but usually they require some coercion cutting, modifying whatever. very few body kits ever fit on their own right out of the box.

If you are going to buy springs, you REALLY should get at least the TRD rear sway or get the hotchkis front and rear sway kit (going as stiff as hotchkis you need both front and rear). The improvement in handling from the springs is greatly multiplied with a stiffer sway.

Or you can start with your interior, leds, gauges, headunit, sound system.. i would not recommend any performance parts for you except for springs and sways..

That Razzi kit is NASTY. The only good full kit is the kaminari kit. Other than that, lip kits are the way to go for our cars imho.
