Rookie Mods...

Hello there!!

I am new to all this modification world and to be honest, a little ignorant. I have a 2008 Sedan and I wanted to make some mods to it. Originally I wanted to start with an TRD (or K & N) intake and a performance chip, but I read here that the chips suck; they are scam. So What do you guys suggest?

Thanks in advance!

a little research will take you way farther than making a post that's been done a million times

but to answer your question...in order.

cai (cheap)
shocks/springs (cheap if you can do your own work)
rear swaybar (really cheap)
exhaust (kinda expensive since there's no real market)
header (can be cheap)
midpipe (middle)
strut bars (cheap)
lower profile tires/rims (expensive)

any other opinions or woulda-shoulda's can be found on any other of these types of threads. everyone has an opinion. this is the way i should have gone with my camaro and i plan on with my yaris....even though i've had it 2 years and havent done anything yet. i'm doing wheels first based SOLELY on the fact that i need tires NOW, and i may as well spend money on rims/tires instead of just tires...

chillax dudette.. she was just posting the mods on her car towards the OP. just giving the guy some options if the rear sway bar isnt the first thing he wanted to go with... nothing wrong with a little showing off your hard work to the new members
