I find myself with about $500 burning a hole in my pocket and NEED to spend it on my car.
This is what I own so far:
'08 SCM AT tC
TRD springs/swaybar
Pioneer 880PRS + iPod adapter, Pioneer 4x75W amp, eDi 6000s components and 7Kv.2 with 100 sq ft of eDead
Tint

This is my wishlist:

1. Clazzio Leather seat covers
2. VRD Fogs
3. HID conversion
4. White LED dash/HVAC conversion
5. Full TBL
6. CAI
7. Catback exhaust
8. Any other essential mods that I'm not thinking of.

Tell me what would you do?

 

drop. paint interior. cai. exhaust.

 

Get hids and seat covers. Im about to start on my interior and suede seat covers will be first thing to buy.

 

drop

 

numbers 2, 3, 5, 6

 

I'm in the same boat, my next mod will be the CAI.

Get the CAI.

 

get some HID's and those fogs and the full TBL, and you'll have some money leftover still to pick up the CAI if you shop around.

(the fogs can be legitimately had on ebay for 90~ shipped, no need to spend 250 at VRD)

 

Buy the exhaust.....and save up for a turbo....that's what I've been doing the past year......The stimulus check will put me over the top!

YAY!!!!!!

 

go with a lower drop if u want ur car to see a noticable differance trd isnt the right springs. i had them then switched to hotchkis was even thinkin bout s techs but didnt wanna push it

 

do the VRD foglights and the HID and buy soem CD's with the leftover money.

 

I hear the drop but with the harsh winters here in Utah, our roads take a pounding and the potholes become a serious problem. Also, a lot of the parking lots and neighborhoods have deep gutters at the entrances and I sometimes scrape on TRD's despite all my attempts to avoid it. Lastly, I know the TRD's don't give much improvement. That's why I got the rear sway and I think I have the handling where I want it. I wont be doing any suspension mods for quite a long time.
