Since I have a new Yari, I have a new list:

Best: Tint (20% FTW)
Worst: Drop Zone springs .... stay away from them. They suck. They are super good springs, don't get me wrong - but they are WAY too low in the back, and constantly slice through plastic spacers and literally kick the metal ones out. I am getting TRD springs as soon as possible.

The worst is that i bought 2 times chrome covers for the door.
I want to paint them but i notice yesterday that`s pretty easy to erase them.

just got my 07 sedan last september, haven't done any serious mods yet..

but so far:

Best: De-badging and re-badging the car

for my future "best" list
NF210's
TRD sway bar..
tint - 20% rear 30% front

i've already purchased them (xept for the tinting).. just waiting for the winter season to pass by.. my girly hands don't like working on cold weather

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 INVESTMENT: ED HARDY STICKERS!!!! - Head Turner to the MAX



WORST INVESTMENT: Crappy 60MM non-branded Cheap Gauges I got (Life span 6 months - either they FUSED - or Readings become extremely inaccurate)

WORTHY MENTIONS:
Scangauge 2 - Impressive.... Love it to the max....

self-DIY cheesebox and CAI ventilated stock airbox.... gets intake temp to 28Deg C
and no worries on Hydro-lock

HKS hi-power Muffler - for the LOW Bassy Rumbling sound

[Destinyismine]

Best investment: Great on gas, drive 100 miles everyday. Nice Ride.

Best Performance: Kuhmo Ecsta ASX tires on 16s
Best (awesomeness): HK Exhaust from MI

Worst Performance: Sport Edition CD wheels (heavy)
Worst (awesomeness): "Chrome" Yaris labeled license plate frame on ebay (rusted)

[ChitownY@Ris]

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.

True. Then again I did go 60k miles in four years without ever changing the original air filter...

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

New best for me: Turbo Kit

[Tooyuta]

Best mods so far...
- Redline MT90 gear oil
- Ultra Racing 19 mm rear sway bar
- Delrin Shift knob from Micro Image

Worst... none

[G-Ammo]

Best investment: Eibach lowering springs, TMS Spoiler and 16'' original Toyota rims,
Worst Investment: None yet... :D
Worthy Investment: hopefully some wheelspacers & axleback exhaust! I think that will complete the car :D

[chaditotx]

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.

Best investment;The car itself.....
There aren't any worst investments....
