That is one sharp ride. I never knew they came it that color.

I think Carmine Red was offered only for 2009 and 2010. We had funny-looking skies here this morning and mine looked almost purple. I'd never noticed it having any resemblance to purple until today.

short shift kit is next on my list, then TRD exhaust, TRD suspension, TRD air filter, and some drag DR31 16x7s wrapped in Falken Ziex tires.

what do you guys think on my car, "bump" rear spoiler, or "rally" rear spoiler?

I'm really leaning towards the rally, I think that in the Carmine Red and with some bronze rims it would be a one-of-a-kind.

i love the rally type spoilers. The bronze wheels would look great on your car as well.

Installed my TRD shift knob and TRD rear sway bar today.

I must agree with what I've read here before, if there is one mod you spend money on it should be a sway bar. Sure, the handling is greatly improved, but more than anything else the ride has improved vastly. No more bouncing around over every bump, the car feels more solid and refined. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Ok, just put in the TRD high flow air filter. I think it was a good choice. I've made too many of my cars in the past unbearably loud with SRI or CAI intakes and loud mufflers, this time around the drop-in filter coupled with a low-dB exhaust is where I'm headed. Probably Tanabe Medallion.

Throttle response is certainly better, which is a good thing. Of all of the driving dynamics of this little car the one thing that concerned me was throttle response. I had never seen such a small engine rev so slowly, this is not a night and day difference mind you, but it's at least acceptable now.
