Yeah. I knew what I wanted to do to the car before I bought it... scionlife and the bB Bible just gave me some direction.

My checklist is ordered in what things will give me the most enjoyment for the cost.

I've got a massive checklist, just waiting for the wife to start a new job so I can justify the spend:

- New Grill
- Clear headlights, paint bezel
- Tein Htechs
- Finally mount wheels
- Engine compartment cathodes
- Smoke rear lights (currently overlayed)
- Paint silver interior trim

And on, and on. I shooting to have everything done before Elmhurst Toyota's big July show.

My list is pretty similar to others.

Wheels (still trying to find a style that suits me)
Springs (Tanabe or Goldline I think)
Rear Spoiler (Fab or Stock, I too am debating)
Chrome or Polished Billet Grill (for only between the headlights)
Still debating how much I wish to sink into Stereo and when.
Still debating how much I wish to sink into the interior.

I'd like to dabble some chrome under the hood, but that's only if I show the box...
Right now I'm not sure I can maintain a daily driver and afford dumping as much
into the box as it deserves. Honestly, I'm not even sure of how to *show*! LOL

I have a list, but I have really deviated from it. I've done things totally out of the order I originally planned to do them in. I've resolved that I should only keep a mental list now, that way I can constantly revise it.

no worries we all dorks, cause we all started with a wish list. just that most of my stuff is on back order or just takes for ever to come from japan. so i don't have an order. just wait by the phone and wait for the "hey your.... is in." and knock it off the checklist.

and in the video/audio department my list keeps changing as vendors bring out newer products.

My list works in stages.

Exterior will have to suffice for a while with springs and rims from the dealer.

Underhood; probably pull off some of the brackets and covers to get powdercoated/painted plus add some neon/LEDs under there.

Interior; install XM, XBox and 1 screen. Probably have a few of the interior pieces painted as well. Eventually arrive at 4 screens, new head unit, underseat sub,amps and lighting.

performance will be limited to just I/H/E for the cool appearance and sound.

Big ticket item that I can acquire a little long the way is rear disc conversion.

I just hope a few things I have in the air come together in the next few weeks so I can get the box ordered. ;)

G/L to everyone on their lists.

I've checked off 2 things, the Injen intake and DC Sports strut bar, so I'm not doing too bad so far. All that's left are Tein coilovers, Injen axle-back, and maybe a turbo, once all the problems are sorted out.
