    the rear sway bar is actually supposed to help the most out of the strut bar/braces. Of course when paired with the other components, it would work even better.

    On another note, I had the ingalls rear brace. Very nice mod, stiffens up the rear pretty well. Not exactly a direct bolt-on because if I remember, I had to drill two spots, no biggie though.

    I personally have an hid kit, for the price I love it. Never had problems.

    But if you do want the best, retrofitting is the way to gooo. Props to you.
    Hey i have HID's and i love them too. In my city there are street lamps everywhere and it is no good for my Lights, i cant see the HID's only the street lamps, also in the rain or fog you barely see anything. I want the VRD fog lights to hopefully make up for where the HID's lack.

    Some pics of what the final product of my headlights should look like. Not exactly, but very close.

    Hey, do you know which grille is on that car? I really like it a lot. It looks a bit more recessed from the front which is what I am looking for. All the after market grilles I am finding are very flush with the front of the car and I am not into that very much. It looks more "pimp" when it's flush that "race" when it's recessed... if that makes any sense at all...

    Let me know if you can. I have been searching hard for the correct grille for the look I want and I like this one.

    Yeah, that thing is rad. That's more what I've been looking for. I'm going to order one tomorrow.

    Too bad you don't that the option of getting the TC, VVTI or TRD logo with it like you can with the Figure grille. I really wanted to get the VVTI logo in the corner.

    I'm figuring somewhere in the area of $800. Roughly.

    Well, since we have a new section about builds, I guess I will move my thread over there since she isn't done yet.

    UniChip should have a good estimate. When you bought your unit, you should have given the info on your power mods to them so that they could get you a base tune. I/H/E usually produces results of 153~157WHP on stock ECM. The UniChip with proper tuning might be able to squeak out 5~10WHP with just these mods.

    I sure do wish I had the money to start something new on my tC. Unfortunately, I no longer have the cash flow like I use to due to rent. I haven't given up hope yet though. Maybe something will come along one day and I can finally see my dream come to life.
