The first thing I would do is:

1. Add S2000 antenna

2. Debadge the "tC" emblem on the hatch

3. Map/dome light LED swap

4. Swap out parking lights with LEDs

Then as you accumulate more money get your car tinted, clear bra applied, suspension, etc.

 

I did:

1. TRD air filter
2. S2000 Antenna
3. TRD Badging by the 'tC' badge (+5hp, yo!)
4. Tint
5. Hotchkis Front Strut Bar, TRD Rear Sway, CF Engine Cover
6. TRD Springs, Shocks/Struts
7. Dr. Isotope 'Radiator Cooling' Plate
8. Ingalls Rear Strut Brace

Next up is tires and maybe rims.

 

I just got my tC a month ago, and the first things i did were: Change dome lights to blue LEDs, Reading lights to superwhite LEDs, trunk light to superwhite LEDs, headlight accent bulbs to blue LEDs, and changed the headlight bulbs to Xenon 8500K bulbs.

 

Im gunna go with the, "What I did, and in what order," list like the others.

1. S2000 Antenna
2. Tein H-Tech Springs
3. Injen CAI
4. HKS Hi-Power, Axle Back
5. "Scion" Rear Bumper Aplique
6. TRD Rear Sway
7. SuperBrightLEDs.com Interior Lights
8. Debadged "tC" Emblem

I like keeping things subtle, so im not going with anything to flashy. My tC came with the Lip Kit, Ped Spoiler, Blue OEM Interior lights, Side AirBags when I bought it. To give you a better picture of what I have.

 

i'm new to all this, what does that entail^?

 

lol, hes just kidding. The badge is just somethig u can put next to the "tC" on the back of ur car.

NEW HUGE MOD TO COME TOMORROW. Stay tuned...

 

can anyone tell/explain to me a safe and hopefully easy way to remove the rear tC emblem? Also if its worth it.

 

can anyone link me to the s2000 antenna ?

 

i just used floss and a little goo gone to take off the sticky gunk. dont use too much though since it's abrasive. if you dont have goo gone just use floss and some soapy water will take off the old adhesive

 

S2k Antenna........CLICK

 

How much did the $Price$ come out to after Purchase/Installation of the SuperCharger?

 

$3360 for the charger

$582 for install or something close to that.

 

ouch!

i = newb. lol

 

And they don't come with the car, so that's the first thing I added.

 

HUGE Lime green vinal stickers on the side and the rear window. lol

Seriously every car needs lowerings springs and music first. I say lowering springs and 2 12's and you're on your way.

 

Springs and Rear Sway for the best initial investment. Improves your handling a ton. Here's a link to a few options from TRD, and Hotchkis.
