I just want some opinions here, i understand its my car and its gonna come down to what i will be happy with but a little input would be nice.

I have a toss up between SSM, white, and IIP as far as colors go, i didnt like the white at all but its kinda growin on me the more i see it. I want a color that is easy to keep clean as well as when i wash it i wont notice all the swirl marks and the tiny pebble marks, dents and scratches.

and what accessories are a must for when u pick it up and drive it home. i already know i want the exhaust and lipkit but is there anything else i should consider?
throw me some opinions and suggestions!

Thanks

 

trd springs is a must as far as im concerned i test drove a stock tC and it was very soft, if you like smooth rides youll like it if you want a more aggresive but still comfy ride get the trd lowering springs.

good handling is a must for me and trd springs help out a lot i am also going to do the rear sway but i havnt gotten i yet

good luck
silver is the easiest color to keep clean and white is right behind it

 

White is by far the easier color to maintain, followed closely by silver.

I am sort of like you in that I initially did not like the white at all, but it grows on you.

Good luck.

 

Silver is the easiest to take care of...all metal colors hide dirt and swirl marks. I like the silver because it matches the interrior on the dash.

 

I've got silver, so please choose something else. :D

None of the accessories are really mandatory, and some like floor mats you can buy online and save $$. Not a big fan of the TRD muffler, it's axle-back so you're really not going to get much performance out of it, just a little noisier (I've been told, haven't had any experience with it). If you want better handling the TRD springs and swaybar are definitely good, although shop around for pricing before agreeing to get it at the dealer, some people are talking of huge upcharges to install the parts after paying full retail.

the rest of the stuff is up to you, and whether you prefer to pay for the parts in cash afterwards and install them yourself or pay more for them through the dealer but finance them.

hope this helps

I have the TRD exhaust. Whilst I know it doesnt give much power boost, it sounds good, not too loud, not to quiet, just right. Im pretty sure there's somethin out there a bit cheaper than $366 (or $525) that gives you more power, and more bumble bee noise.
