Default tC aftermarket/bolt-ons?

So i am about to purchase my first scion tc and was curious if there is a lot of aftermarket parts and bolt-ons for it other than the TRD that you can get optional? and also where is a good place online to buy or research these? or any suggestions other than the basic CAI, exhaust, body kits, or stereo, ect......

(sorry if this is a repated thread, i am new and tried searching but too many threads on here to search all)

The Scion Family of cars are the most customizable cars i know, i wish i had a statistic on what percent of the parts on the cars that can be changed.

Its pretty generous for body kits, not as many as the civic, but still a lot of options

it might be, i was drawn to the scions ability to customize, and the new civics are certainly not as customizable as the old ones.

ya i knew they came with a lot of options but wasn't sure about trying to find lots of aftermarket parts. i just know that the axles arent good at handling turbo power. and already found a body kit for when i get it. its just the fact of getting it painted and on once i purchase it. but wasn't surewhere the best places to look and what to go for first to start out. ( hell im a soon to be college grad, so no tmuch money to work with from the start because of student loans. )

wow, did this guy miss the point of scion or what?

there are tons of aftermarket parts for the tc. trd has nice ones, but they are expensive.

anyway, beware of what you buy because while there are lots of great parts for the scion, there is also alot of garbage too, to make sure to scrutinize everything you look at very carefully!

well try dr. iso website

http://doctorisotope.com/index.php?o...d=15&Itemid=29

he uses our stock shifter and i hear its awesome. And also get the cable bushings. In fact you could use just the cable bushings and it would make a noticeable difference.
