Default What options to get when i order one?

Ok so im pretty sure im going to order a tc next week, maybe monday. But i was just wondering, if the options offered by scion where worth getting or not. Like what exactly should i get done when i order, im not even sure what color i wanna get, its sooooo hard, but some input would be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering if the TRD Exhaust is worth getting, since im planning one making it sound better, but dont know if just to get the thiers, and get it installed, also the springs they offer, dont know if they are any good. just stuff like that (tint, inside lighting, bodykit, etc...)
And i wonder how it would look to get a super white one, then order the lip kit black and get it installed, hmmmm , plan on getting TYC's and get black layovers...
THanks alot guys!!!!

The trd axle back is more for sound then performance, they dont add any hp, well, maybe 1. But if you insist on getting one, you should get it somewhere else, i'tll b cheaper than the dealer.

All the scion options you can buy elsewhere for cheaper than @ your dealer (trdsparks.com is a good place to start)

If you have to have it, and wanna FINANCE it, then the dealer is the way to go. Otherwise,, IMHO, doing it yourself for cheaper after you get your car is the way to go.

The only accessories I recommend you get from the dealer are the Ground FX and the Rear Spoiler. Everything else you can get sooooo much cheaper. Plus, doing it yourself helps you learn about your new car! I'm gonna have to say 'no' to the blk lip on a SW. You'll disrupt the clean lines of the tC. Keep it clean and just get SW Lip kit!

Definitely get the TRD Springs! Minimal drop looks aggressive without looking slammed.

Also, there are better mufflers out there for the price of the TRD Axle Back. You might want to hold off on that.

the only thing i would get is the lip kit, lip spoiler, and the optional 18" enkeis! everything else you can buy it cheaper! If you dont have the cash to buy the stuff seperate then just order it with the things you want?

hmmm... if i could do it all over again this is what i would do:

-TRD shocks... so you can lower it when your ready(dont need them, but nice to have)

-TRD Exhaust.. it sounds nice, everyone has one so you may wanna re-think it, i jus got a custom magnaflow done...its one off, hand built so im VERY proud of it.

-honestly, the only mod i would get would be nothing hahah.... jus do it all yourself

what i meant was... when you wanna lower it on s-techs, or hotckis or something, you can do it with no problems, because you wont have to worry about your stock shocks blowing

If you were smart you wouldnt get anything from the dealer. go to trdsparks.com or mcgeorgeparts.com and install the products yourself.

yea man, dont get anything from the dealer its too expensive. When i got mine the only two options i chose were the lip spoiler and the alarm system. I financed so it was stupid to even get that. Everyone is correct, buying parts seperately is the way to go. however, if theres something you want but dont think you can do it yourself, then maybe order it but youll pay through the nose.

oh whopz --- I do think you should get something from the dealer.... I think you should get the lip kit and small spoiler from the dealer (unless you are gonna get an aftermarket one). I would say, get them to put both of those options on that way you do not have to worry about body mods.

i wouldnt get the lip spoiler from the dealer...then they drill into your brand new trunk!!! jus buy one, dremel out the mounting brackets, and use 3m tape, youll be fine then

but the lip kit is a tuffy, so i would have them install it
