Default Where to start?

So the warranty is almost up on my 5-speed '06. I'm about ready to start adding stuff to it. Where should I start? Oh and it's all stock except for the sound.

Since you got the sounds already complete a great mod for the tC is suspension.....springs or coilovers and rear or front and rear sway with good tires.......also since you said the warrenty is almost up you are probably about to the point where brakes are gonna come into the picture soon.......if you do not want a BBK then Stoptech makes nice rotors and match them to some good pads.

FIY you really didn't need to wait for your warranty to run out to start modding.

True like Spicy said... you dont have to wait to the end of your warrenty unless you just want to. Everything I did to both my 06 tC and my new 08 tC already.... Toyota doesnt give a crap unless you really go off the wall and do something that will actually cause damage to the car. Other than that... where to start is asking yourself how mild or crazy do you want to go? A lot are saying "drop" and sways they are nice mods...and the handling is great compared to stock. But its up to you and what you want to use the car for.

Depending on how well your relationship is whit your dealership also helps.......everytime we go in all the staff goes out to see our car.......not too many people come in to them with a modified car....our dealership gets all excited to see them.

At Formula Drift this year in Monroe Scion gave us all Tshirts that said Modify or Die........I wear it every time I goto the dealership.....LOL
