Part list:
-Foglights

You are right. I will give it a try.

Clutch and suspension will be some work though. Thanks.

Springs, struts, exhaust, strut bar, rear anti-roll bar, and shifter you can do yourself. I'd leave a professional to the clutch.

Here's a tutorial for installing the front strut bar: Click here.

I'd suggest this to try finding a few more tech articles: https://www.scionlife.com/tech/

The folks at the dealership claims that if I do it myself on the installations, I will void my warranty? Is that possible or they just want to make money off the installation? Thanks.

Bull. As long as you have a record of the installation details (date, what was installed, mileage), it should have nothing to do with your warranty.

Have another dealer in your area?

Thanks for the support oldmanatee & Zillion.

I went to Longo for the installation and they were more reasonable.

I must say the TRD upgrades (exhaust, springs, shocks/struts, tie bar and sway bar) are really nice. I can corner better with noticably less body movement and the throaty exhaust note is perfect. I am still missing the TRD short-throw shifter and clutch. I will save the clutch for later on but will install the short throw shifter first. I will take some images of my upgraded ride for sharing shortly. Thanks again.
