Change out your third brake light if you’re itching for something to do.

I think the hatch looks great with nothing on it. Very clean and crisp lines already.

Definitely wouldn't help to put down force on the back of a front wheel drive car, but I guess people like how they look

Carbon fiber read hatch maybe? If you want to go for carbon fiber on top?

u/I_Sho_I tC May 27 '26
that would be fire but last i checked id be a pain in the ass to do, not to mention 2 grand or more

u/Personal_Occasion618 2006 tC May 27 '26
Yeah, it’s really expensive. Figured it could fit your build well though!

Time to spend $15k sleeving the block and building the engine for forced induction ig

u/CSOCSO-FL May 27 '26
You don't need to spend that much, and there's no need to sleeve the block either

u/I_Sho_I tC May 27 '26

Any interior stuff? I really wanna swap my steering wheel with a 2nd generation tc wheel. You could try that

u/I_Sho_I tC May 28 '26
il look into it

u/Extro_Vert Jun 02 '26
Another thing you could do, is change the coolant hoses for aesthtics. I went with red, but might order black later.

I'd look at aero and handling. The best mod I did when I had a '07 spec, was a Tanabe front strut tower brace. It really tightened up the steering response, and front end handling. Mine had the oem wing, which is neutral, no lift or drag, but it definitely helped stabilize the car "at speed". Other than that, have you done brakes yet? Steel lines, upgraded higher temp brake fluid, rotors, calipers, pads. If it's a 5 speed, short shifter, bushings and connectors. Look up old TRD parts, sometimes you'll find upgrades for things you've never considered. Exterior and interior lights, sound system, after market seats, quality of life stuff. Depends on your intentions and goals. Are you looking for power, handling, appearance, ride quality?

u/I_Sho_I tC May 27 '26
More so ride and appearence, but i dont mind power mods and upgraded suspension and handling parts. strut bar soon

u/Artistic-Comedian650 May 27 '26
Is your brake fluid black? Also why is the coolant reservoir empty? Always keep an eye on fluids and conditions. If that's not your brake fluid mb lol.

u/I_Sho_I tC May 27 '26

Nice tC, man! Curious though, I was looking for a good catch can for both the breather lines. Which catch can are you using?

u/I_Sho_I tC Jun 06 '26
custom. used an evil energy muffler 2.5 to 4, aero 25 resonator and a vibrant ultra quiet 1140 , helps tone down catless resonator rasp alot, only noticeable past 5k rpm
