Ground effect kits
TRD springs
Rims
debadged

...all at the same time



(In my case items like rear spoiler, upgraded audio, door sills, nav, sport pedals, security, remote, keyless, fogs, wood trim etc are not mod's - they came with the car as ordered :-))

My first mod was replacing the stock lights with 7000K Nokya's, but then quickly swapped them out with Xtreme 5000K HID's.

1. Tint - Complete
2. Wheels and tires - Complete
3. Drop - next on list

Pick what you think looks best done to cars and fits within your budget. I am eventually going to get my car dropped but I think it looks really good with tint and wheels. The Mrs. is putting a hault on mods for a while but I am content until it's dropped!

Good luck!

Some good info here. Im definitely thinking about doing tint, blacking out the headlights and putting in the K&N air filter and the cold air intake.

If you're going to black out your headlight, you might as well do a retrofit/HIDs while you're at it
