best investment: anthing that suits your personality. trd drop kit for me, low but still functional, and sway bar to boot.

worst investment: anything from ebay. don't buy anything cheap or iffy, you will probably end up spending full price for the real thing later anyways.

Best: Pioneer dvd head unit w/hands free bluetooth. Rear flip down screen to keep the kids quiet on long trips.

Worst: $55 K&N drop-in air filter. Havn't noticed any mpg or performance gains, so I guess I could have skated by just fine with a new $15 cheapie from Autozone.

1-Best investment, car itself.
2-6.5" Infinity speakers replacing the cheapest speakers I have ever seen in my life, in the front doors ( i am sure it is the same case in with the rear speakers as well, they are next).
These have the best Bass in the class AND adjustable tweeter (0db-3db)

3-After market headlights with foglights, to be arrived today and will install this weekend.

Note forget, I tore down a well made carport in our back yard by pulling with my 3dr HB

Best Investments
Eibach Sportlines Hellooooo Go Cart like handling
Mini Cooper R81 rims 11.7 lbs way more accell than stock steelies.
Custom magnaflow muffler.. super cool low mellow tone. Sounds like a european car, and not a D16 with a glasspack.

Worst?
TRD Racing Hart 18"s too heavy for 1nzfe motor and for suspension.

The Big 5

1. Top tier fuel (seafoam in tank at oil change).

2. Cruise control (you must get it).

3. Michelin Harmony tires (rotate and balance every 5K).

4. Mobil 1 Extended Drain oil 5W20.

5. Hand wash at least every two weeks.

This car will run forever if you do these things!

so far the best for me has been the Megan coilovers. I've actually cornered hard and tight enough that it hurt. Rather awesome.

The worst? Being forced to buy the stupid stock armrest. A waste of money and took me maybe a minute to take off.

Best Investment: Backup camera
EDIT: Sony XAV-602
Automatically dimming mirror (15€ for the mirror from a Corolla, 10€ for a Yaris mirror I used to mount the other one)
Worst investment: Yatour CD changer emulator
Full of bugs, slow, expensive (and even more with the bluetooth kit which has a crappy sound quality)
