So Ive got an 08 tC inblue ribbon metallic (the replacement for the nautical blue) and im pretty happy with the overall perormance of the car so i was thinking i would start on the cosmetic aspects first? i thought i would start with a new shifter, painting the calipers, new rims and a body kit....basically in that order. But im not sure if theres anything else i should do first that doesnt cost to much? but helps my car look more unique than the other stock ones rolling around town. Any inpot would be great! thanks!

exterior wise i would say get the RS lipkit cause bodykits are ricey, i personally like the stock wells and would suggest having them powder coated a dark bronze color, instead of painting the calipers get the TRD brakes, tint the windows i'd say 10% and 35% on the windshield(looks pimp with the windshield done) get the RS grill and leave it without the Scion badge and umm thats all i can really think of exterior wise. Oh get some Tien lowering springs to make the ride hight more pleasing to the eyes. Also if you do get your windows tinted get the sunroof done too lol

this is the body kit i was looking at at first i had planned to go with the rado widebody but its 2grand and then i would have to get wider wheels or something to make it all flush so blah so i decided on this one cuz it wasnt too complicated or "ricey" of course without the weird tailpipes u will see sticking out ha http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f360/faerie69/?action=view&current=05sciontcfabfbshowcase.jpghttp://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f360/faerie69/?action=view&current=05scionstcfabrbshowcase.jpg
