I'd like to do as much as funds permit. It's hard being in college, and planning on an MBA program too so little by little I hope to add as much as I can.

Mostly show, a little bit of go.

I don't race but I do want a clean ride and a decent amount of power so that I'm not getting spanked by street sweepers.

Suspension and cosmetic stuff right now. I'd like more power in the future and pretty much couldn't care less about a bangin' system.

I'm just trying to build a car that I can enjoy everyday. But at the end, I'm sure most of my $ will be put into tires, brakes, and suspension..... Close to $0 on cosmetic aside from car cleaning stuff.

Car audio is definitely my forte. I've got an aftermarket headunit, aftermarket door speakers, a subwoofer and two amps to power all of it. Not to mention 120 sq.ft. of deadening throughout. All done by myself and the tools in the garage.

My car has enough oomph for me, especially with 18"s. Although my dad's toys are always available when I have the need for speed.

lowering tint and wheels...pretty much. I know my car won't be fast w/o putting a few grand in it, so as long as it looks nice and I have fun driving it, thats all i need. i don't need my car to have 200+ hp, although it would be nice to be able to say that, but i doubt i will ever push it that far to make it necessary. my car satisfies me, and thats what should be important.

Show - but minimally.
Sorry, but the money one needs to put into a tC to make it really go is not worth it to me.
Go means serious HP to me, and that means muscle car.
The tC is a fun, reliable, and cool little ride.
I wanted it to be a little different than stock but not to the point of wasting money.
I got most of the options from the dealer and have wheels/tires on order.
Good enough for me.
I get a new, FAST car in 4 years, so the tC will go to my son.
Plus, I'm thinking about the new Ducati 1098

You bet BOBtC!
My wife is the best - no doubt about it.
We give and take with each other - she's really into the house, I love my toys

Get a good woman (down the road) because it's the key to a great life - assuming you want a family and all...

Vrrrrrrrooooom!

PS - I'll come for you in four years to take a ride

I only modded mine to how I think it should come stock. HIDS, Short shifter, TRD springs/struts, window tint.

No need for HP mods. I have a supra if I want to go fast.
