I JUST GOT MY XB ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN I GOT IT IT HAD TRD WHEELS AND SPRINGS ALREADY BUT MY QUESTION IS,

"IS IT WORTH IT TO STICK TO TRD PARTS?"

I KIND OF LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING A XB WITH ONLY TRD PARTS. AM I SHORT CHANGING MYSELF OR ARE THE PARTS WORTH THE MONEY OR IS IT BETTER TO GO AFTER MARKET?

 

yeah it would be nice to have an all TRD ride, but in the end, you can get equal and most times better performance with other aftermarket brands. also just as a note, TRD mods will most times be mild, and you may find yourself craving more ...

 

1. take off the caps lock.

 

put it this way, it wont void your warranty w/ TRD.

 

trd has gaurenteed OEM quality, and have warranties depending on the installation of the products with the exception of the trd cold air intake.

there are plenty of good aftermarket companies, but there are even more aftermarket companies that make total crap for the tc.

most people complain that trd parts are too expensive, but hey, they have quality, warranties, and more research and development than than aftermarket companies.

 

i just figuered that TRD was Toyota and that make a quality parts.

 

yes, TRD will have proven performance and research and OEM quality assurance. if that's what floats your boat, then yeah, TRD all the way.

 

then the next question is where is the best place to get em

 

trdsparks.com or newscionparts.com have good deals

 

i have already been checking out trdsparks already seems pretty good. are there any of the parts that are total NO-NO's?

im eyeing the muffler trut brace and sway bar

 

well... ic some of the parts' price are outrageous.. such as leather steering wheel.($200-up) for a leather... or preminum sound system for $600... some parts are not worth paying...

 

well i paidc 1995.00 for the navi and 1995.00 for the TRD rim at the dealer!

 

So did I ($1950 for the navi - neener, neener, neener), but don't admit it.

FWIW, I love the SNS, my last car was killing me (literally), and I had to finance the whole thing.
Not lookin' back, and not a single regret. I sleep well at night with my decision.

 

thats how i see it add it to the loan and you dont really see it

 

I don't know about you, but I see it once a month.

 

+ you'll end up paying the interest...

so $2000 with 5.75% interest on 60 month come out to = $2,306.01 so bascially, the buyer is paying $306.01 on top of $2000.00 and that's not including the tax.

 

I was forced to make the purchase when I did, but I should have it paid off by the end of the year, so not nearly that bad.

 

its only money, i got a great job (just got a raise yesterday) i figured if i didn't do it at the dealer (wheels, springs, navi)i would have never done it, plus i got an awesome setup car. out the door

 

Way to get what you want, when you want it!

 

no wonder you live in huntington beach... i live in getto place called gargage grove... 15min north from your place.
