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.

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.

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.
