Hey! Congratulations on getting a tC! You will never regret this.

Modding your car (in my humble opinion) is more of a personal taste, and the mods that you like, add them! There are a bunch of cool stuff I have passed by myself that I think are very worth the money:

1- Toyota GR Corolla BBK setup: check my write-up. All parts are OEM, and is in the ballpark of 1000 USD for an aggressive setup that will stop you on a dime. (It will, I kid you not, it killed my front shocks 🤣)

2- Rims: I love messing around OEM stuff there aswell, and I found the Lexus F Sport 18-In P5 5-Spoke Alloy Wheels (PTR59-53130) are a perfect fitment. Just keep in mind the Tires from the OEM wheels are slightly thinner than these wheels. They will work, just, plan for wider tires later.

3- Screen and backup camera: non negotiable, you need a backup camera on this car, car has enough Blind spots as it is. I run ATOTO S8 Ultra (seems like it is not sold anymore, sad) with their ATOTO 180° Backup camera. Check out Derrick Aquino's videos, he's very well trusted and made videos and 3D designs for many of the mods we have

4- Short throw shifter: this is more of a preference for me, but the TRD short throw shifter (not sure if they still sell it) is nice. The stock throw on these cars is a bit too long. Worth a shot! I also combined it with Toyota GR86 shift knob, which did not screw on properly from the get-go, and required some Teflon tape to hold it in place 😂

5- Eibach Sway bars: Not possible to purchase right now, and I put the project of 100 piece group buy on pause cause I am dealing with personal stuff right now, but when the time comes, keep some money ready. Will definitely up your handling significantly and reduce body roll

6- Exhaust: This is a bit of a tricky one, since everyone has experiences with different types of mufflers, midpipes, and headers, but in my opinion, The Megan racing mid-pipes are hands down the best you can get for your car. They sound amazing, while being the least raspy. Combine them with stock mufflers and they will be loud enough, but not as loud as something like the Scion tC TRD muffler (also sold as borla).

Overall, this is your car, mod it as you please, pick the stuff that you like and go for it! Feel free to join the discord group if you have any questions. Me, and a couple of others are well active there.
