because these are the mods that you do in between those mods. you do a big mod and you cant wait to do your next mod, why not make it a cheap small one? instead of doing a lip then an hid why not a lip, then get a radiator plate, then HIDs or something like that.

Best place is on ebay, what badges specifically are you looking for? I'll link you.

the ones I know are popular are...: VVTI, Transformers logos, TRD, Hello Kitty TRD, 2.4 L, tC (some put extra tC logos on fenders) and others.

idk if i missed this but you can paint your rims for under 50 bucks you just need to put in a lot of time. oh and you can make your own stuby antenna from the oem one just cut the metal part it still works the same.

on ebay, including shipping cost:

(for tC)

hid kit, new - $100 (if you look around)
S*RS/tsudo exhaust system - $215
megan racing coilovers - $900
generic 4-1 stainless steel header - $100
fujita cold air intake - $200
generic strut bar - $72
exedy oe clutch - $130
front & rear, drill&slotted rotors - $160

although they aren't cheap in the sense of hurting the wallet, ill say they're budget parts. i can't testify the quality of all of them except the HID kit, exhaust system, and header (for an RSX). the hid stuff is top notch (always check seller's feedbacks!!). catback system could be better. header is pretty good. fujita, i don't think you can go wrong.

so, take my info lightly salted...

Someone just asked this same question over on scionbuzz.com. I guess we could go over there and answer their question. It looks like a pretty good site, albeit brand new.

I think I want to lower my tC. Who has the best springs?

i didn't see it so o'm putting it
custom short ram 1$
I got the top from a gatorade bottle, unscrewed the little box on our intake after the sensor, stuffed the cap, and screwed it shut. Then before the air filter there is a plastic pipe that goes down remove that and you got yourself a short ram intake. I check periodiclly to make sure the top isn't sucked in and just cause I don't want to get sued, i take no resposibility if something happens do at own risk.
