    Default What would be the best mods for the money?

    I just bought a 08 tC with the TRD sway bars and brakes. everything else is stock. I just bought an Injen CAI and Injen axle-back exhaust. I havn't driven the car yet, due to being in Afghanistan. But while I'm here making the money I'm making, what would be the best thing's to buy that won't rip me off. From what I've been reading performance chips are pretty much worthless due to our ECU's. If anyone has knowlegde of this stuff please let me know what would be my best buy. Thanks everyone!

    You would be correct about the performance chips, the VVT-i's are a learning curve setup. Your best bet would be to buy some lowering springs and upgrade the stock struts to Tokico's. A RS1/RS2 Lip Kit and rear spoiler would make the car look even better and be more eye catching. Have a look at my tC sometime and I am positive you'll see something you'll want for your tC. If you have any questions just ask me.

    Thanks a lot. I will highly consider the struts and lowering springs. It was on my mind. Since there isn't much else for bolt ons haha. I just bught the Megan mid pipe to go with the axle back I bought. I'll go ahead and look at prices for this stuff. Glad I took auto tech in high school so I can put this stuff on myself! haha. Thanks a lot!

    I'm always online, so keep me posted and if you have any concerns, just ask me. Once my tC is paid off, my next project build is going to be a Nissan 350z.
