think anything should be re-arranged or added???
let me know

 

6. "SCION" wind deflector decal (20$)

Dont do that.

 

why not?? doesnt seem like a bad idea

 

add sway bars on the list!

 

buy my rims, theyre cheap and would look awesome on an SW

 

doesn't seem like a good one either

 

the SCION emblem for the wind deflector looks terrible in my opinion, and it sounds like others too. I would compare it to a SUPER STREET emblem or better yet, just put RICE on there somewhere. Don't spoil what sounds like a real clean TC with a giant SCION logo. We all know what it is. And if there is a question, people should just look closer and read the other 4 badges.

 

forget trd lowering springs. go htech. a little lower and better handling.

k&n intake, i would look into injen or even trd.

otherwise, dont do the sticker please.

 

okay okayyy guys i wont do the decal

thanks for the advice....and btw i am buying those rims so looks like the whole powdercoating might not happen

 

There is a sale on Stech springs at trd sparks for 162 shipped.

 

Don't do the wind deflector decal. It's as overdone as vertical doors.

Don't paint your stock rims. If you want black rims, do it right and invest in a proper set. They'll make your ride look much cleaner.

Get a short-ram intake (or the Injen SRI/CAI) if you're just looking for aftermarket intake sound. You'll thank me later.

Don't do CF stickers, especially on your dash. Again, overdone and tacky.

TRD springs will cost you more than $159; you need to have them installed and you can't just do it yourself. Well, you can, but don't.

 

i'd say get tein s-tech springs if you are keeping 17" wheels, if you get the trd springs you will want to go lower...it has happened to almost all of us who got them.

no decal!

no painted stock wheels!

i'd go with an injen cai or a fujita cai instead of the k&n.

 

seems like all cosmetic mods. i would drop a few of the painted parts and spend that time and money into mods that actually help the car. for example, putting money towards springs first and getting wheels instead of painting stockers. and sway bars instead of decals. u will thank us in the future.

 

[quote="CDogbert"]Do you mean this for TRD springs or springs in general?

 

[quote="Schmevin1234"]Springs in general, especially if you've never done it before.

 

trust me - don't do the wind deflector decal

I had it on for a week before I ripped it off. Seems like a good idea but when you see it in person it looks like crap. $20 wasted.

I did get nice comments on it but i dunno - i just didn't like it after a couple of days.

 

Paint the Inner Housing of the Headlights!

Dont get the SCIOn Decal...No!

Get a Rear Sway Bar & Ingall's 4-point Rear Brace Bar!

NO TuRD Springs....Get Progress Springs!

 

dude if u want the scion logo then get it, i have it and everyone on here hates but it but i like it, mi girl likes it, my friends like it so i have it. dont get such an expensived intake, ebay ftw, does the same thing for 60 dollars shipped
