I got a brand new Black Pearl tC.
I have about $1000 to spend to put something special on my tC, but i don't really know what i want.

Here are the ideas I got:
1) get the AEM intake, piping, and exhaust
2) lowering springs and strut bar
3) taking out the standard CD player and replacing it with a screen, while still having the waterfall cover.

Soo yah. What do you think?

 

Firstly, get the TRD Springs and Sway Bar for $192 from www.trdtoyota.com and install them yourself cause it's really easy, secondly, since you have $600 left , get the trd axle back for $388.75 from the same place, and then spend $200 getting your car tinted out!

All those prices include shipping, and if you or a buddy are mechanically inclined, install is free! That's how I would spend $1000 on my tC!

Forget the screen, it's easier for someone to steal!

 

I just picked up a rear sway bar and springs for pretty cheap. I'm thinking I should order the struts too, but I probably won't install til after winter so maybe the prices will come down. The sway bar is an easy install, springs I'm going to do later but I picked it up because they were on sale. $192 is a nice deal on the springs and bar, but I'd probably get the whole package with the struts as well. That still comes in at under $500.

 

I don't have a tC yet, still waiting...but i think my first mod is going to be the TWM short shifter and shift ****. Doesn't really improve performance like the springs or exhaust would, but I love the feel of a really quick, smooth shifter. and it's pretty cheap for how much of a difference its supposed to make.

 

Springs!

 

it doesn't hurt to start with a big brake kit.

 

do whatever you want to do first..it all depends what kind of direction your gonna go with your car...

 

well unless you want paint chip freckles I would find a clear bra before you start to go wild...

 

clear bra and tint, then springs, then exhaust and intake, then sway bad and struc brace...

that's just me though...

I went with tint, bra, wheels, tires and sound system on first week. then I added dorrs sills, b pillar aplique, rear bumper aplique, a month later. and springs and mudguards a month later. I had exhaust installed on port. just waiting on more feedback to see which intake to buy now.
