Congrats on your purchase, I hope you'll enjoy the car as much as any of us have.

As for your first mod, it depends, what're you interested in most?

Speed, Handling, Show?

Are you a flagrant spender? Are you a budget spender?

Knowing these things will help us better be able to assist you.

Congrats on the tC. If your looking for speed go with a cold air intake, some headers or an exhaust. If you got the money get it supercharged or turboed.
If you're more for style get some new rims and tires or maybe a spoiler. You can customize the tC in any way you want so have fun with it.

so many options... like soulbane said tho it's up to your budget and what your goals are.

you could go a few different ways
- intake, headers, exhaust

- springs, sway bars, strut bar

- rims, led's, hid's, tints

congrats on the tC and good luck! ask a lot of questions here! very knowledgable tC owners!

so many different ways to mod it. my first mod was 15% tints then i went from there now i got new matrix racing pedals, s2k antenna, prestige alarm system, OEM spoiler, Blue LED'S parking lights, cubby whole and auto shifter light to blue, blue turning signals, and change to white HID'S looking headlights... Now i ama do some custom work to it like painting my calipers blue and sanding down my rims and painting them black there gonna come out looking like this.

so theres alot of stuff you can do

yea that really stood out to me when i first saw it. it looks very fake/cheap IMO. it's like they (and some other car manufactures) were trying to go with an aftermarket look with the grills and tail lights to appeal to the 18-24 demographic

I like tails but absolutely hate my grille. I would get a new one but have no money cuz i just ordered my S/C IMO i think they should have kept the 05 grille.
