Smile 2012 "TRD" tC ATX build

Hello everyone. New here, from Austin, Tx. Pics of my tC2 below
TRD 19 in wheels
TRD exhaust
TRD air intake
TRD quick shift kit
FiveAxis Aero kit
Toyo Proxes 4 tires
Rear lip spoiler
Fog light kit
Pioneer Premium audio
JL 500 amp and Memphis 10 subs

still wanting the TRD big brake kit, sway bar set, and lowering springs
maybe a turbo after that <---doubtful

I know the TRD stuff can be overpriced. But I'm trying to just stick with a "TRD edition" tC

Heck yeah man welcome to the site!! tc looks clean and well taken care of!! i have a 1st gen tc but still respect the 2nd gen!

Yeah the bbk would be sweet and so would the springs im assuming trd since that seems to be what youve been goin with haha and the sway bars dont do much unless you go for the rear sway bar which ive heard really makes a difference! cant wait to see more work done!!

Do you know how much the springs lower the car? Wondering if the 19 wheels are going to cause an issue...

I'll be switching to coils soon and will be selling my springs next month if your interested. Made by eibach, but I hear they make them for TRD. Almost exact same drop and still ride very comfortable. Probably about 3,000 miles on them
