Default My Dream Scion...

Hello Everyone,

I want to thank everyone for the knowledge I have learned in just the past couple of days while viewing the forum. I am a current college student and I hope they do not discontinue the "tC" before my graduation (200 as that is when I would be purchasing my vehicle. I have put together my ideal car - please let me know what you think - I think I have mixed sport and luxury very well...

2008 Scion tC - Black Sand Pearl
Custom BLACK leather seats with WHITE piping
Custom BLACK suede dash/doorpanels/headliner
Installation of Navigation/DVD/CD head-unit
CLEAR LEDs to illuminate interior
Puddle lights on exterior
Viniati M3 Bodykit
OEM pedestal spoiler
TRD OEM Supercharger

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated....

I am frightened to lower any vehicle - especially after having a bodykit installed - I dont want to damage the kit or the vehicle on potholes or speedbumps....

Does anyone have any experience with this particular kit - Photos would be GREATLY appreciated

the stock suspension rides as high as an SUV. i have the TRD springs, and the front bumper is STILL higher off the ground than my old stock-suspension 1998 eclipse.

Suspension, suspension, suspension. After having driven my car for about 3k miles now, I'm more concerned with upgrading the suspension than the performance. Can you say, "body roll"?

I just lowered my car on TRD springs last weekend and it looks soooo much better. The springs are cheap and you can pick up spring compressors for extremely cheap at harbor freight. All you need then is a weekend to do it and your car will look better.

i dont think having a bodykit without lowering the car looks good.
i am getting intake and exhaust before my springs... should be backwards
i will probably get it soon though.
its just because i found a good deal on intake and exhaust and i couldn't resist it.

You're going to want to tear out the stock stereo. It blows.
